The following graph depicts the supply schedule for euros. Hint: You can drag the black point (cross symbol) to various positions on the graph to see the values of the coordinates on the graph. You will not be graded for any changes you make to the graph. VALUE OF EURO (U.S. dollars per euro) 1.9 1.8 1.7 1.6 1.5 1.4 1.3 1.2 1.1 0 50 100 150 200 250 300 350 400 450 500 550 600 QUANTITY OF EUROS (Billions) At an exchange rate of 1.2 per euro, the quantity of euros supplied is of euros supplied is + ? billion euros, while at an exchange rate of 1.8 per euro, the quantity billion euros. This confirms that the supply schedule for euros is sloping.

Using ideas behind the specific model, intuitively explain how gains from trade for the overall economy do not necessarily translate into gains for every group within the economy. In the model, what are definite winners and losers. For whom are the gains unclear? 2. Briefly explain why the specific factors model is often considered a ‘short-run’ model. Give an example of a situation where it may also be valid for the ‘long-run’. 3. Briefly and intuitively explain the mechanisms and main results of the Heckscher-Ohlin Model. 4. In the context of the Heckscher-Ohlin Model, briefly explain Leontief’s Paradox and give examples of how the model can be reconciled with his finding. 5. Why is the bilateral trade balance not necessarily a good measure of the trade relationship between two countries? 6. Consider the (‘long run’) effects of inward labor migration in the Heckscher- Ohlin Model. Assume that the country trades and the relative price of two goods X and Y stays constant. Assume X is…
When Great Britain voted to leave the eurozone, the pound depreciated 17% against the dollar. It also raised fears that the eurozone, which uses the euro as a common currency, would fall apart. Suppose that the dollar is considered safer than the euro, given these conditions. The following graph shows the market for dollars, with the quantity of dollars measured along the horizontal axis and the price of dollars in terms of euros measured along the vertical axis (in other words, the euro/dollar exchange rate).
