I. INTRODUCTION
1. Importance of International Economics
Why should we study international economics?
• Contribution of International Trade to the Nation’s Standard of Living
• Integration of the World Economy
• Problems in the World Economy

5. Basic Analytical Tools
• General Equilibrium Analysis
• Partial Equilibrium Analysis

• Supply-side: Production Possibility Frontier (PPF)
• PPF with Constant Costs• PPF with Increasing Costs

Basis for Trade and Gain from Trade
• Basis: lower relative price export• Higher relative price import
• Gain from Trade: • In General Equilibrium Analysis: measured
by increase in social utility level
• In Partial Equilibrium Analysis: measured by consumer surplus , producer surplus, and net welfare change

The Classical Trade Theories
1. Economic Thought in International Trade before Adam Smith
• Mercantilism: Older than Smith but still Alive Today
![Page 18: China Center for Economic Research Peking University International Economics: Trade Theory and Policy Professor Wen Hai Spring 2003.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e0b5503460f94af4065/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
2. Adam Smith: Absolute Advantage
a. Basic Assumptions One input: Labor (L)
Two outputs: e.g. Wheat (QW) and Cloth (QC)
Two Countries: e.g. US and China
Different technologies: different productivity of labor
Labor supply is fixed. No international labor movement, but free to move within the country
Full employment, perfect competition,
and constant return to scale
transportation cost
alanced trade
![Page 19: China Center for Economic Research Peking University International Economics: Trade Theory and Policy Professor Wen Hai Spring 2003.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e0b5503460f94af4065/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
b. Basis for TradeAbsolute advantage in Commodity Production
c. Determination of the Absolute AdvantageDifferences in technologies
d. Measurements of Absolute Advantage: Productivity or Cost of Production Unit of labor requirement (L) in each unit of output j: aLj= L/Qj -- Comparing aLc to a*Lc and aLw to a*Lw

e. Pattern of Production and Trade
A country should specialized in and export the product that it has absolute advantage, and import the product that it does not have absolute advantage in production.
In this case, US should export wheat and China should export rice.

1.2 Comparative Advantage in the Hechscher-Ohlin Model
a. Basic Assumptionsa. • Two inputs (factors): Labor (L) and Land (T)• Two outputs: Cloth (Qc) and Food (QF)
• Production Functions: Qc = Qc (Tc, Lc), labor-intensive
QF = QF (TF, LF), land intensive
At any given factor price ratio w/r, TF /L F > Tc /Lc
• Two Countries, e.g. US and China Different proportion of factor endowment:
(T/L)US > (T/L)China;
US is a T-abundant country, China is a L-abundant country• Full Employment, Perfect Competition, and Constant return to
Scale
![Page 36: China Center for Economic Research Peking University International Economics: Trade Theory and Policy Professor Wen Hai Spring 2003.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e0b5503460f94af4065/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
b: Basis for Trade • Comparative advantage
Different relative factor endowments (different proportion) different relative factor prices
different relative production costs different relative prices of products
Comparative advantage in producing and exporting the product that uses its abundant recourse intensively (lower relative cost)
c. Pattern of Production and TradeA country should produce more and export the product that uses its abundant recourse intensively, and import the product that uses its scarce recourse intensively. In this case, US should export wheat and China should export cloth.

2.2. Economies-of-Scale Model
a. Economies of Scale: external and internal External Economies of Scale
External economies of scale occur when the average cost (AC) of output depends on the size of the industry, but not necessarily on the size of any one firm. An industry where economies of scale are purely external will typically consist of many small firms and be perfectly competitive.
Internal Economies of ScaleInternal economies of scale occur when the average cost of output depends on the size of an individual firm, but not necessarily on that of the industry. Internal economies of scale give a cost advantage over small and lead to an imperfectly competitive market structure.

3.2 The Product Cycle Theory: Change in Factor Intensity
Technological cycle of a new product:• Stage 1: Innovation
(High technology; cost of research: R&D intensive product)
• Stage 2: Tech. Diffuses(Technology becomes less important - standardized, cost of capital and skilled labor: capital and skilled-labor intensive product)
• Stage 3: Tech. Stagnates(Technology embodied in purchasable equipment, cost of less skilled labor: labor intensive product)
![Page 54: China Center for Economic Research Peking University International Economics: Trade Theory and Policy Professor Wen Hai Spring 2003.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e0b5503460f94af4065/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
3.3 Dynamic Changes in Comparative Advantage
• Stage 1: R&D intensive product
R&D and scientists abundant country such as the US has comparative advantage
• Stage 2: Capital and skilled-labor intensive product
Capital and Skilled labor abundant countries such as Japan and Germany have comparative advantage
• Stage 3: Labor intensive productLabor abundant countries such as China have comparative advantage

C. EFFECTS OF TRADE ON INCOME
Effect of Trade on Income in the H-O Model1. Effects of Trade on Factor Prices in Each Country 1.1 Short-Run (no factors are mobile among sectors)
Return to factors: W = P x MPL,
R = P x MPT
In the short run, returns to factor are determined by changes in Product Price. No changes in marginal productivity of factor
Price of export product increases, both factors in the export sector gainPrice of import-competing product decreases, both factors in the import-competing loss
![Page 56: China Center for Economic Research Peking University International Economics: Trade Theory and Policy Professor Wen Hai Spring 2003.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e0b5503460f94af4065/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
1.2 Long-Run (all factors are able to move among sectors)
The Stolper-Samuelson (S-S) TheoremFree trade raises the return to the factor used intensively in the rising-price sector (export sector) and lowers the return to factor used intensively in the falling-price (import competing sector)
Magnification Effect
Changes in returns to factors are greater than the changes in product prices
![Page 57: China Center for Economic Research Peking University International Economics: Trade Theory and Policy Professor Wen Hai Spring 2003.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e0b5503460f94af4065/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
2. Effects of Trade on Factor Prices in Both Countries
The Factor Price Equalization Theorem
Under the assumptions of H-O model, free trade will
equalize not only commodity prices but also factor prices.
All labors will earn the same wage rate and all units of
capital (or land) will earn the same profit (or rental returns)
in both countries regardless of the factor supplies or the demand patterns in the two countries.
![Page 58: China Center for Economic Research Peking University International Economics: Trade Theory and Policy Professor Wen Hai Spring 2003.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e0b5503460f94af4065/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Effect of Trade in the Specific Factor Model
1. Basic Assumption of the Model Three inputs (factors):
Mobile factor: Labor (L)
Specific Factors: Capital (K) and Land (T)
Two outputs: Manufacture (QM)
Food (QF)
Production Functions: QM = f (K, LM)
QF = f (T, LF)
Full Employment: LM+ LF = L
Perfect Competition and Constant return to Scale

The Rybczynski Theorem
The Rybczynski Theorem postulates that at constant commodity prices, an increase in the endowment of one factor will increase by a greeter proportion the output of the commodity intensive in that factor and will reduce the output of the other commodity.
