All assumptions of the specific-factors model holds except


Suppose Home is a small open economy and received a significant amount of capital.

1) Suppose that Home produces both computers and shoes using labor and capital. Both factors are perfect mobile across industries. The production of computers is more capital intensive than the production of shoes. All assumptions of the HO model holds except that capital can move across countries. Analyze, algebraically, how the inflow of capital affects the industry outputs in Home.

2) Suppose that Home produces agricultural goods using land and labor, and produces manufacturing goods using capital and labor. Land is specific to the agriculture sector and capital is specific to manufacturing sector. Labor is perfectly mobile across sectors. All assumptions of the specific-factors model holds except that capital can move across countries. Analyze how the inflow of capital affects the industry outputs in Home.
