(b) In the situation of the labor force growth in part (a) above, suppose that the country is a "large" country. Define the meaning of a "large" country in international trade. Then, and assuming that the "net" or "overall" effect of the labor force growth in part (a) is of the same type as the "production effect," illustrate and explain, other things equal, the impact of that labor force growth on the country's willingness to trade and the country's terms of trade.
