Ricardo Model
Inlämningsuppgift Internationell ekonomi

1. Ricardomodellen förutsäger att länder tenderar exportera de varor där deras relativa produktivitet är hög (relativ export bör ha hög positiv korrelation med relativ export). Diagram 1 visar positiv korrelation mellan relativ export och relativ export vilket modellen förutsäger. Korrelationskoefficienten 0,2736 visar däremot ett relativt svagt samband.

2. Efter rangordning efter relativ export mellan EU och NAFTA går det att avläsa både skillnader och likheter. Båda har relativ hög andel fysiskt kapital av de respektive fyra varor som har starkast komparativ fördel, men vad gäller humankapital visar NAFTA höga värden och EU låga. Humankapitalrika varor som ”Office, accounting and computing machinery“ och “Medical, precision and optical instruments” dominerar NAFTAS export. Industrier som visar låga värden humankapital “Textiles, textile products, leather and footwear” samt “Wood and products of wood and cork” tillhör EU:s områden med starkast komparativ fördel.

3. Interindustriell handel speglar komparativa fördelar, till skillnad från intraindustriell handel som visar skalfördelar. Sveriges RCA gentemot Belgien och Kina speglar således Sveriges komparativ fördel i olika branscher. Diagram 3 visar att Sverige har komparativ fördel i ”Pulp, paper, paper products, printing and publishing”, ”motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers” och ”machinery and equipment, N.E.C”. Detta stämmer väl överens med den allmänna uppfattningen om svensk industri. I branscherna ”Food products, beverages and tobacco” och ”textiles, textile products, leather and footwear” har Kina och Belgien komparativ fördel mot Sverige, vilket intuitivt känns riktigt. Diagram 4 visar Sveriges intraindustriella handel med respektive länder. I majoriteten av branscherna har Sverige högre intraindustriell handel med Belgien än med Kina. Detta handelsmönster förefaller rimligt då Sveriges och Belgiens industri (i-länder i västeuropa) har större likheter

    “A number seven, no pickles, with a large sprite please. Oh, can we have some extra ketchup with that as well?” This answer may resemble something near how most people would respond to Pollans question, “What should we have for dinner?” posed at the beginning of his book, The Omnivores Dilemma. Pollan breaks his book down into three major components, the preface, the process, and the person. By clearly identifying what he is examining, and through firsthand experience, Pollan was able to discuss American diet, and all that goes along with it.…

    The third stage in the Kubler Ross model is bargaining. Bargaining happens when someone thinks of alternatives to prevent the cause of grief. If it is a loss of a loved one, you may often hear someone say, ‘I would give anything to see them or hold them again.’ If it is a loss of a relationship, people generally say, ‘I would do anything for her/him to give me another chance.’ Other losses in life, including that of jobs, choices, games, or car accidents may impel people to want to go back into time and change certain events that have triggered this particular loss for them..…

    Many small businesses opt to sell products they’ve manufactured based in one location to foreign consumers, exporting is one of the phases preferred by companies because it allows the business to have more control over research, design and production decisions, and they’re less dependent on sales in the local market alone. Though those are great aspects there are some associated inherent disadvantages with exporting such as being susceptible to tariff and non-tariff barriers and transport costs that can considerably increase the cost of the exported goods. Among those disadvantages there is also the risk of clerical error…

    In the short story, Mrs Wilson seems, to me at least, to be a bit old fashioned – something that isn't quite so odd, considering the story was written in the 1940's. I can imagine her being the typical housewife, struggling in the kitchen, gossiping and worrying with the neighbourhood women and fussing over minor details concerning her precious son, Johnny. However, her temper can get the best of her, creating tension and thus leaving a situation next to unbearable. In the story's situation I know I would find it unbearable – by sheer awkwardness!…

    Two poets from two different centuries address a particular theme with two very distinct perceptions. “The World Is Too Much with Us,” by William Wordsworth of the 18th century, and “When I Heard the Learn’d Astronomer,” by Walt Whitman of the 19th century, both address the importance of appreciation and involvement in the natural world around us. Although essential characteristics such as tone, structure, literary approach and language differ in each poem, both poets seem portray the same unambiguous theme.…

Key positive factors identified by researchers have ranged from favourable political-legal environments for industry and commerce, through abundant natural resources of various kinds, to plentiful supplies of relatively low-cost, skilled and adaptable labour. It is well known fact that industrialization started with the Industrial Revolution in the north-west and Midlands of England in the eighteenth century bringing manufacturing changes. Later during the nineteenth century it spreads around the Europe and North America. In the twentieth it spreads all around the world. Not always industrialization had positive but negative effects particularly on the life of the workers as it is connected to the process of modernization where overwhelming mass production of most goods take place. The workers had to cope with the hard conditions in the working places with the growing number of goods they had to produce in the process of mass production. It has to be noted that the growth of the offer rather than demand caused imbalance in the production system. Also, particular changes took place in mining and the forging of iron. This was one of the significant areas of industrialization throughout in Eastern Europe. It was a key area where industrialization grows wider as and consequently…
