In the Ricardian model, suppose that Home has a MPL = 2 in Cloth and MPL = 4 in Wheat. Foreign has a MPL=2 in Cloth and MPL=6 in Wheat
In the Ricardian model, suppose that Home has a MPL = 2 in Cloth and
MPL = 4 in Wheat. Foreign has a MPL=2 in Cloth and MPL=6 in Wheat. Suppose also that the price of Wheat is $1 (per bushel). When the two countries trade and fully specialize, we can deduce that the new price of Cloth is:
-between $0.66 (i.e. two thirds) and $0.5
-between $0.5 and $1
-between $1.5 and $2
-between $2 and $3
