Answer: immobile; also imported

Step-by-step explanation:

The immobile factors model explains the effects of factor immobility between industries within a country when a it moves to free trade.

for example, considering an immobile factor of production, like capital, between industries, a movement to free trade will cause a redistribution of income where some individuals who own capital in the export industry, benefit from free trade while other individuals who have capital in the import industries lose from free trade causing individuals who have high demand for export good to experience a welfare loss, while those individuals who have a high demand for imports will experience a welfare gain.

In this the immobile factor model, those related to the export industry gain while those related to the import industry experience loss.
