Response to Required Reading

Please read the Helpman article up to page 133 (stop at "economies of scale and product differentiation").

Answer the questions are:
1. According to Helpman, what were the successes and failures of the Hecksher-Ohlin framework?
2. What is the "Leontief Paradox", and what explanations have economists given to resolve it?

Consumer Demand

The article that you select should support or contradict course material. For example, an article might support or contradict economic theory or empirical results discussed in the textbook. You should not choose an opinion piece or an article that explains economic concepts to laypeople. To do well, you will need to read the relevant textbook chapter before choosing the article. The Bloomberg article on why hotels are still opening during the pandemic is a good example of the role of sunk versus non-sunk costs in firm production decisions.

you should briefly summarize the article (generally no more than one minute; assume that your classmates have read the article). Then, you should discuss how the article either supports or contradicts the related course material
