Suppose the world has two nations with two production factors: capital and others. Nation 1 owns OA capital stock, Nation 2 owns O’A capital stock; all capital is fully invested. VMPK1 is Nation 1’s curve of value of marginal products of capital at various levels of capital investment. VMPK2 is Nation 2’s curve of value of marginal products of capital at various levels of capital investment. Free international capital movement is allowed.
