Slide 2-2Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc.  Determining the Relative Price After Trade What determines the relative price (e.g., P C / P W ) after trade? –To answer this question we have to define the relative supply and relative demand for cheese in the world as a whole. –The relative supply of cheese equals the total quantity of cheese supplied by both countries at each given relative price divided by the total quantity of wine supplied, (Q C + Q * C )/(Q W + Q * W ). ( 本國判別式 ; 外國判別式 ) 本國判別式 ; 外國判別式 –The relative demand of cheese in the world is a similar concept. Trade in a One-Factor World

Therefore, (Q C + Q * C )/(Q W + Q * W ) = World Relative Supply L a LW L * a LW * Because P C / P W < a LC / a LW, Home will specialize in the production of wine. Q C =0 ; Q W = L / a LW.  If PCPWPCPW a LC a Lw < : Because P C / P W < a LC * / a LW *, Foreign will specialize in the production of wine. Q C * =0 ; Q W * = L * /a LW *. 回圖形 =0.

PCPWPCPW a LC a Lw = :  If Because P C / P W = a LC / a LW, both goods be produced in Home. Home will be willing to supply any relative amount of the two goods. Because P C / P W < a LC * / a LW *, Foreign will specialize in the production of wine. Q C * =0 ; Q W * = L * /a LW *. 0
