Grinols, Earl L., 1951-Fulmer, Mike.Baylor University.

By characterizing economies according to their manufacturing, service, and agricultural/natural resource sectors, the Arc Models present a novel approach to teaching trade theory by either focusing in on a single economy or altering the scale of observation to an economic grouping of world economies. The Arc Models are a collection of true, dynamic models in that they have the ability to capture the inter-temporal transitions between static equilibria using 3D animation. The diagrams and models that have been treated include: market supply and demand, the Ricardian model of comparative advantage, world production in the Ricardian model, the Ricardian fixed factor model, the Ricardian continuum of goods model, offer curves; the standard trade model, the Heckscher-Ohlin model including Findlay-Grubert diagrams, the 3-Factor model, and the specific-factors model.ix, 66 p. : ill.140929248 bytes144871 bytes900798265 bytes5100408 bytesapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/octet-streamapplication/octet-streamen-USBaylor University theses are protected by copyright.
