In the ancient country of Roma, only two goods, spaghetti and meatballs, are produced. There are two tribes in Roma, the Tivoli and the Frivoli. By themselves, the Tivoli each month can produce either 30 pounds of spaghetti and no meatballs, or 50 pounds of meatballs and no spaghetti, or any combination in between. The Frivoli, by themselves, each month can produce 40 pounds of spaghetti and no meatballs, or 30 pounds of meatballs and no spaghetti, or any combination in between.

In A.D. 100 the Frivoli discover a new technique for making meatballs that doubles the quantity of meatballs they can produce each month.

Draw the new monthly production possibility frontier for the Frivoli. please explain how this graph looks.

After the innovation, which tribe now has the absolute advantage in producing meatballs? In producing spaghetti? Which has the comparative advantage in meatball production? In spaghetti production?

Suppose we (U.S.) refuse to sell goods to any country that reduced or halted its exports to us. Who would benefit and who would lose from such retaliation? Are there any alternative ways to ensure import supplies?

Looking for interesting opinions, thanks!

For example, Do poor people pollute more than rich people and if you think they do then why? ( possibilities I am considering are lack of knowledge, lack of money to buy more efficient and energy conserving technology, etc)

If, when the Fed cuts interest rates, the money supply increases, each dollar is able to buy a smaller fraction of the economy's production. Hence, more dollars are required to buy the same unit of stock. Also, investors who anticipated the cut would transfer their assets from cash to stock to preserve the asset value. Similarly, when the Fed raises rates, cash assets become more attractive than stock.

Is this essentially correct?

Surely the economy is the sum of all the money changing hands in the country and the activity of all the companies.
I don't understand how the economy can be growing at a fw percentage points but the stock market in general grows at a faster rate than this.

What country is that in because if anything I see the cost of everything going up and I constantly have less money left over at the end of the month no matter how much I cut back. It always seems like someone else raises their cost faster than I can cut back.
