Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

The increased size of markets leads to lower costs through the effect of scale economies. At the same time, competition among firms forces them to pass on their lower costs to consumers in the form of lower prices. The expansion of the market that occurs with trade leads eventually to an increase in the number of firms (although the distribution of firms between countries is unclear). Consumers benefit both from lower prices and from an increase in the variety of goods available to them.
