Answer to Question 1

Changes in the natural unemployment rate arise because of changes in frictional and structural unemployment. Any factor that changes frictional unemployment or structural unemployment changes the natural unemployment rate. For instance, a change in the age distribution of the population, a change in the scale of structural changes that are occurring, a change in the minimum wage rate or efficiency wages, or a change in unemployment benefits all change the natural unemployment rate.

Answer to Question 2

The factors that contribute most to comparative advantage at the country level are:
i. Natural resources and stocks of man-made resources (technology) available
ii. Education and experience of the labor force
iii. Relative abundance of labor and capital
iv. Climate
