3. Which country has a comparative advantage in Steel? in Aluminum? Why?
4. Draw PPFs and the demand diagonals for both countries. Show the production and consumption points under autarky in each country.
5. Show the production points in each country when there is free trade. Is specialization complete or partial?
6. Does specialization yields increases in global output of each good (gains)? By how much?
7. Draw the terms of trade line for each country. Determine precisely the quantities of the two goods consumed under free trade in both countries. They are not given to you but you need to figure them out given that 500 tons of steel are traded for 500 tons of aluminum (tt = 1)
8. Calculate the gains in consumption (increases in the consumption of each good in both countries). Which country gains the most from trading? Why is it so?
