Question 2

Suppose the two countries can trade shares in the ownership of their perspective assets. Further, assume that a Home owner of a 10 percent share in Foreign land.
 
  He will receive 10 percent share in Foreign land, and thus receives 10 percent of the annual Foreign kiwi fruit harvest. Further assume that a Foreign owner of a 10 percent share in Home land is permitted. In this case, a Foreigner is entitled to 10 percent of the Home harvest. Calculate the expected value of kiwi fruit for each investor. Is the investor better off?

Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Good year at Home: the farmer will get 90 toms of kiwi from home and 5 tons of kiwi from Foreign. Bad years at home: he will get 45 tons of kiwi from his Home and 10 tons from the Foreign country, namely 55 tons. The probability for a good or a bad year is 0.5. Thus the expected returns will now be:
0.5  95 + 0.5  55 = 75
It is not clear whether the investor is better off or not. If he likes to smooth his consumption, he may be better off. Otherwise, it is impossible to tell without a particular utility function.
