Note: same information for questions 16-19. The following figure shows the production possibilities frontiers of two countries, Home and Foreign (solid lines). They produce two goods, Oil and Cars. Also shown are two indifference curves for the Home country. When the two countries open up to free and costless trade with each other, the resulting price line for the Home country is also shown as the dashed line. When there is free and costless trade between the two countries, how many units of Oil will FOREIGN consume? Enter 0 if not enough information is provided. Only exact answer is accepted. Use a decimal point if needed.

Trade between two countries, i and j, tends to be close to the gravity formula:  Tradeij = k (Yi Yj)/Dij, where  Tradeij is total volume of trade between the two countries, Yi is the GDP of country i, Yj is the GDP of country j, and Dij is the distance between the two countries. Consider the total trade between country A and country B, compared to total trade between country A and country C. Suppose that country C’s GDP is 8 times country B’s GDP. Suppose that the distance between country C and country A is twice (2 times) the distance between country B and country A. If the gravity model holds exactly, you would conclude:

Note: same information for questions 4-11, except where otherwise noted. The world is composed of two countries, Country A and Country B. They use labor to produce two goods, TV Series and Movies. All of the assumptions of the Ricardian Model hold. The following table shows the unit labor inputs used to make each good in each country, where one unit is one hour of labor. (Thus, for example, to make a TV series in Country A it takes 30 hours of labor, and so on.) Country A has 12,000 units of labor and country B has 24,000 units of labor. The two countries are engaged in free and costless trade. Country A Country B TV Series 30 5 Movies 6 2   Country A has comparative advantage in

Enter a reasonable world relative price of TV series in terms of movies (that is, a reasonable price ratio PTV / PM). Note: if the answer is an exact number, only the exact number is accepted; if the answer is a range, then any number within that range is accepted.
