The Ricardian theory of rent is a fundamental concept in microeconomics that was developed by the British economist David Ricardo in the early 19th century. This theory seeks to explain the economic rent earned by land and its distribution among landlords. Ricardo's theory of rent is grounded in the classical economic tradition and provides insights into the relationship between land productivity, rent, and agricultural production.

At its core, the Ricardian theory of rent revolves around the concept of differential rent. According to Ricardo, the rent paid for land ______ __________ ___ _________ ____ ______ ______ ______ ________.

“A monopolistic competition lies in-between a monopolistic and perfect competition market structures.” Discuss.

Consider the case of two countries, country A and country B which are assumed to be capital and labour abundant, respectively. Each country indulges in producing and consuming two goods, good X and good Y which are assumed to be labour and capital intensive, respectively. In autarky, equilibrium quantities of good X and good Y produced by country A are 60 and 80 units, respectively, while that produced by country B are 85 and 50 units, respectively. Post trade between these two countries, the equilibrium quantities of good X and good Y produced by country A become 50 and 100 units, respectively, while that produced by country B become 100 and 40 units, respectively. After trade, each nation consumes 75 and 70 units of good X and good Y, respectively. Further assuming all the assumptions of the H-O theory hold, attempt the following questions: 

(i) Illustrate the above case using the production possibility curves and the indifference curve.

(ii) Which country among A and B will import good X and which will import good Y?

(iii) Are exports of good X by one country equal to another country’s imports of good X? What can be said about the import and export volume of good Y?

iv) What does the slope of the line passing through the post trade production and consumption combination of good X and good Y of both the countries represent?

Using appropriate diagrams compare and contrast short-run equilibrium conditions with the long-run equilibrium condition faced by a firm under monopolistic competition.

Heckscher-Ohlin theory begins where the Ricardian theory of international trade ends. Discuss.

Consider the following Table 1 which represents unit labour requirements for the production of commodity X and Y by country A and B, and answer the questions that follow:

Table 1: Unit labour requirement for production of Good X and Y by Country A and B

  Commodity X Commodity Y
Country A 9 40
Country B 1 9

(i) Which country among A and B has absolute advantage in producing commodity X and which has in producing commodity Y? Give reason.

(ii) Which country among A and B has comparative advantage in producing commodity X and which has in producing commodity Y? Give reason.

(iii)Suppose after trade each country specialises in production of commodity in which it has a comparative advantage, which country will specialise in producing commodity X?

Illustrate a kinked demand curve and discuss why the demand curve has a kink under Oligopoly. Also explain the discontinuity in the shape of the resulting marginal revenue curve. On what does the extent of this discontinuity depends?

A perfect competitive industry faces a demand curve represented by Q = 10,000 – 10P. Also suppose that an individual firm belonging to that industry faces a marginal cost function given by

MC (Q) = 4Q + 100

Here Q represents quantity of output produced and P is the price. What would be the equilibrium market price? How much does each firm produce in equilibrium? and also find how many firms would be there in the industry in the long run
