Ans.1.
Correct answer is option 2. Increase in the well being of capital owners in the export sector.
Gains from exchange occur when trade enables each country to receive a higher price for its exports and greater profit and/or pay a lower price for imported goods instead of producing these goods domestically at a higher cost i.e., less efficiently. This exchange, in turn, leads to a more efficient allocation of resources by increasing production of the export good and reducing production of the import good in each country. This leads to higher return on capital for both importer and exporter.
Ans 2.
Correct answer is option b. Heckscher–Ohlin
Heckscher–Ohlin model, focus on specialization and trade according to comparative advantage arising from differences in technology and factor endowments.
