In the rich country of Emerald, the average income is
£20,000.<br></br>
In the poorer, neighbouring country of Flint, the average income is
£16,000.<br></br>
Charlie lives in Emerald and earns £18,000 a year.<br></br>
He moves to Flint and says &quot;I've made both countries richer!&quot;<br></br>
What does he mean? <span style="font-weight: bold;">Think about it
before clicking on the island......</span><br></br>
 <br></br>
<a id="hideShow" href="#"><mdo:image height="51" width="180" alt="An island" src="island.jpg"></mdo:image></a> 
<div style="display: none;" id="hidden">Charlie thinks that the
average income in both countries has increased. Can you convince
yourself that Charlie is right?<br></br>
<br></br>
What other effects can moves between countries have on the average
incomes?<br></br>
<br></br>
Describe what is required for moves to:<br></br>

<ul>
<li style="margin-left: 40px;">increase the average incomes in both
countries</li>
<li style="margin-left: 40px;">decrease the average incomes in both
countries</li>
<li style="margin-left: 40px;">increase one whilst decreasing the
other</li>
</ul>
Under what circumstances could a move from Emerald to Flint reduce
the average income in Emerald and double the average income in
Flint?<br></br>
<br></br>
Under what circumstances could Charlie's move produce other
unexpected results?</div>
