IntroductionOne-Good Model Without Factor Mobility Hypothesis of the model: 2 countries (Home, Foreign). 2 factors of production: Land

5、(T) and Labor (L). Both countries produce only one good. Both countries have the same technology but different overall land-labor endowments (T/L ratios). Home is abundant in L, Foreign is abundant in T. Perfect competition in all markets.2. International Labor MobilityLabor: LProduction: QQ (T, L)A

9、s Diaries (2008)Pangaeas Diaries (2008), shown at the 2008 Carnegie International, is a microcosmic account of massive shift: a stop-motion projection of ants shuffling a beef carpaccio around a white oval plate, glimpses of a world map occasionally caught amidst the flux. The vertiginous compressio

This movement rises the labor force and reduces the real wage in Foreign.2. International Labor MobilityL2Causes and effects of International Labor Mobility MPLMPLMP

International Labor Mobility Effects of the re-distribution of the world labor force: It leads to a convergence of real wage rates. It increases the worlds output

14、 as a whole but it produces loses in some groups: Which groups? Those who would originally have worked in Home receive higher real wages (because of less competition and a higher MPL). Inversely in Foreign. The “land-owners” in Home are hurt since they have to pay higher wages, while the land-owners

15、 in Foreign will benefit from the larger labor supply (+ competition, - W). 2. International Labor Mobility Extension: we could modify the model by adding some complications: We assume that the 2 countries produce 2 goods, 1 is labor intensive (L) and the other is Land intensive (T). In this case, “

16、trade” offers an alternative to factor mobility: Home and Foreign could specialize according to its factor endowment (H-O) Home could export Labor (L) and import land (T), just by exporting the good “intensive in L” and “importing the good intensive in T.2. International Labor Mobility Doubt: Then,

17、is factor mobility an obstacle for trade? In theory it is, but in practice there is space for both of them. Trade is not a perfect substitutive of factor mobility. Why? The HOV Model does not work perfectly: The equalization of factor prices is not produced in the real world: countries are very diff

18、erent and they tend to specialize. There are barriers to trade: natural and artificial. There are many differences in technology as long as in natural resources. Many “services” cant move and/or be commercialized. Trade produced by “economies of scale” implies factor mobility “between regions” or “b

19、etween industries”.2. International Labor MobilityForeign Direct Investment (FDI): It refers to international capital flows in which a firm in one country expands or creates a subsidiary in another. It involves not only a transfer of resources but also the acquisition of control. The subsidiary does

20、 not simply have a financial obligation to the “related” company (Ex: interests) but a “political” relationship of being part of the same organizational structure.3. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and MultinationalsMultinational Firms: They are a vehicle for international borrowing and lending.Diff

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and MultinationalsWhat is the relative importance of the multinationals? They play an important role in world trade and investment.10% of the

Global FDI flows rose modera

(FDI is more volatile than trade) UNCTAD estimates that global FDI will recover to its pre-crisis level in 2011, increasing to $1.41.6 tr

27、illion, and approach its 2007 peak in 2013. In 2010, developing and transition economies together attracted more than half of global FDI flows. Outward FDI from those economies also reached record highs, with most of their investment directed towards other countries in the South (South-South FDI). F

28、DI inflows to developed countries continued to decline. The poorest regions continued to see declines in FDI flows: Flows to Africa, least developed countries, landlocked developing countries and small island developing States fell, as did flows to South Asia. Major emerging regions, such as East an

While they represent less than 1 % of TNCs, their outward investment accounted for 11 % of global FDI in 2010. The ownership and governance of State-owned TNCs have raised concerns in some host countries
