The Logic of Specialization and Trade
An advisor to a small, self-sufficient country argues against opening up to international trade, stating: 'The neighboring country is more productive than us in making both cloth and wine. Trading with them will only harm our local producers.' Analyze this argument. Explain the economic principle that demonstrates why both countries can still benefit from trading with each other, and describe how this principle would lead to changes in what each country produces.

Evaluating a Market Anomaly
Two competing firms, Firm A and Firm B, are deciding whether to invest in a new, costly, pollution-reducing technology. The technology benefits both firms by improving public image and avoiding future regulatory fines, but the firm that invests alone bears a higher initial cost. The payoff matrix below shows the profits for each firm based on their decisions, with Firm A's profit listed first in each pair.
Firm B Invest | Don't Invest ---------------------------------- Invest | (10, 10) | (2, 12) ---------------------------------- Don't | (12, 2) | (4, 4) Invest |A government agency wants to offer a subsidy to encourage mutual investment.
