*** There are quite a few technical terms within the homework. Please collude and find the meaning for such terms and use the book(s) to do the questions. Although revision, the questions are tricky and will certainly require study to answer them

*** Tomorrow night, we will revise more of the course and I will set 2 questions on International Trade for the following Wednesday. I just feel that the 2 questions above are certainly well worth doing today as a means of revision. Please bring exam papers tomorrow.
