Answer to Question 1

The reason is that productivity alone does not determine earnings. Productivity times the price that consumers are willing to pay does. This is what is referred to as the marginal revenue product. In Mexico the ability and willingness to pay for a haircut is lower than it is in the United States. That translates into a lower marginal revenue product and lower wages as well.

Answer to Question 2

C
