Question 2

Factor-intensity reversals describe a situation in which the production of a product may be land-intensive in one country, and relatively labor intensive in another (at given relative wage levels). For example, cotton may be land intensive in the U.
 
  S., and labor intensive in Egypt where land is relatively scarce and expensive. Suppose factor-intensity reversals were common. How would that affect the conclusion that a country in which land is relatively scarce will not be the country with a comparative advantage in the land-intensive product?

Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

The answer here is straightforward (though it has various interesting implications). In this case we cannot define or identify a product in terms of its relative factor intensity (at all or any relative wage level). Therefore, the Heckscher-Ohlin Theorem is ipso-facto inapplicable.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
