Question:
Consider two countries in the monopolistic competition model: Home
and Foreign. All firms have the same fixed cost and marginal cost. In the short-run
equilibrium without trade, the number of firms selling products in Home is N1 and
that in Foreign is N2. However, the product price in the short-run without trade in
Home is higher than the average cost of Home firms, but that in Foreign is lower
than to the average cost of Foreign firms. Let N3 be the number of Home firms
in the long-run equilibrium without trade, and N4 be the number of Foreign firms
in the long-run equilibrium with trade. Rank N1, N2, N3 and N4. Explain your
reasoning.
