Suppose the marginal productivity of customer service representatives in a rich country is MP_L = 17 - .6L, where L = the number (in thousands) of workers. The marginal productivity of customer service representatives in a poorer country is MP_L = 11 - .8L. Currently, there are 10,000 workers in the rich country who are employed as customer service representatives at a wage rate of $20 per hour. In the poor country, there are 5,000 workers who are employed as customer service representatives at a wage rate of $10 per hour.

A firm in the rich country is thinking about transferring 1,000 customer service jobs from the rich country to the poor one.

Do you think it should do so? Why or why not?
