INTRODUCTION TO MACROECONOMICS Graphs and Tables Part #3
Table III-A-1.1: Illustrating the Idea of Absolute Advantage The Output from 1 Unit of Labor in England The Output from 1 Unit of Labor in Portugal Cloth (C) 10 Units of C 12 Units of C Wine (W) 1 Unit of W 6 Units of W NOTE: In this example Portugal is absolutely more efficient at producing both goods (Portugal can produce more goods with the same resources). So according to absolute advantage there would seem to be no basis for trade.
Table III-A-1.2: Illustrating the Idea of Comparative Advantage The Opportunity Cost of Producing 1 More Unit of a Good in England The Opportunity Cost of Producing 1 More Unit of a Good in Portugal Cloth (C) 1/10 W per unit of C ½ W per unit of C Wine (W) 10 C per unit of W 2 C per unit of W NOTE: The producer with the lower opportunity cost will be relatively more efficient at producing that good. Thus, England will have a comparative advantage in producing C and Portugal will have a comparative advantage in producing W.

For example, if all 6 units of Labor were devoted to producing Cloth in England that would be 6 times 10 Units of C.

How to Fill in the Rest of the Table 1. If England produces 60C but wants to consume only 20C then it has C to trade. 2. If the TOT are 4C/W then England can get W for C. 3. If Portugal produces 36W and trades W then it has W to consume. 4. Portugal gets C for its W. 5. After trade and specialization England has (20C, W) and Portugal ( C, W).

Explanation of Figure III-A-2.5 1. Before trade, CGT = Area (1) 2. Before trade, PGT= Area (2) + Area (3) 3. After trade, CGT= Area (1) + Area (2) + Area (4) + Area (5) 4. After trade, PGT= Area (3) 5. Summary Producers lose Area (2) Consumers gain Area (2) + Area (4) + Area (5) Net gain of Areas (4) and (5).

Explanation of Figure III-A-3.2 (a) CGT Lost from the Tariff is equal to the sum of areas (1), (2), (3), and (4). Consumers are thus the main losers from the tariff. (b) PGT Gained is equal to area (1). Producers are one of the main beneficiaries of the tariff. (c) Tariffs Collected by Government is equal to area (3). Government is the other beneficiary of a tariff. (d) Welfare Losses from the Tariff are equal to the sum of areas (2) and (4).

PURCHASING POWER PARITY EXAMPLE 1. The real exchange rate e*($) = [CPI(us)/CPI(jpn)]e($) 2. Initial conditions: CPI(us) = 100; CPI(jpn) = 100 and e($) = 100 /$ 3. Suppose US price level doubles and CPI(us) = 200. 4. The real exchange rate rises in the SR: e*($) = [200/100]100 /$ = 200 /$
PURCHASING POWER PARITY EXAMPLE 5. This SR situation will not last because it violates the law of one price. a. Consider an item which costs 100 in Japan and $1 in the US. b. With inflation in the US, this item now costs $2 in the US but $1 (100 ) in Japan. c. What will buyers in US do; what will buyers in Japan do?
PURCHASING POWER PARITY EXAMPLE 6. In the LR, the dollar will depreciate because of the relatively higher inflation rate in the US. The nominal exchange rate e($) will fall to 50 /$, so that the real exchange rate will be: e*($) = [200/100]50 /$ = 100 /$ 7. In the LR, PPP has been restored.
