Answer to Question 1

a.
See section 16.5 of text.

b.
Not everyone will benefit from the elimination of trade restrictions. The US and Mexico will tend to specialize in the industries for which they have a comparative advantage. Therefore, some US industries will expand while others will contract and likewise for Mexico. The workers in the contracting industries in each country will lose from such an agreement.

D
