10. Suppose that the European Union textile industry is competitive, and there is no international trade in textiles. In long-run equilibrium, the price per unit of cloth is €30. a. Describe the equilibrium using graphs for the entire market and for an individual producer. Now suppose that textile producers in non-EU coun- tries are willing to sell large quantities of cloth in the EU for only €25 per unit. b. Assuming that EU textile producers have large fixed costs, what is the short-run effect of these imports on the quantity produced by an individual producer? What is the short-run effect on profits?

1. Wheat and the welfare consequences of trade:a. [Basic static analysis of trade] Construct a simple model of the (wholesale) market for wheatglobally, and in Australia. Provide a brief but clear explanation to accompany yourdiagrams, and reflect on what access to international trade means for Australian farmers,food manufacturers (e.g. bakeries) and food consumers (i.e. households). b. [Extended dynamic analysis] The market for wheat is affected by the recent unrest inUkraine (“Ukraine war could send...”, 2022). Wheat prices are reported to have increased55 per cent even before the invasion, just based on fears of sanctions and disruptedsupply, as Russia and Ukraine account for a large portion of global wheat supply. Russiais also a key supplier of fertilisers used by Australian farmers. How can we expect this toaffect Australian wheat producers? What flow-on effects might we expect to see in thewider Australian economy? 2. Petrol and the welfare consequences of taxes:a. [Basic…
1. Gains from trade Consider two neighboring island countries called Dolorium and Contente. They each have 4 million labor hours available per week that they can use to produce jeans, rye, or a combination of both. The following table shows the amount of jeans or rye that can be produced using 1 hour of labor. Country Dolorium Contente Jeans Rye (Pairs per hour of labor) (Bushels per hour of labor) 20 16 Initially, suppose Contente uses 1 million hours of labor per week to produce jeans and 3 million hours per week to produce rye, while Dolorium uses 3 million hours of labor per week to produce jeans and 1 million hours per week to produce rye. Consequently, Dolorium produces 15 million pairs of jeans and 20 million bushels of rye, and Contente produces 8 million pairs of jeans and 48 million bushels of rye. Assume there are no other countries willing to trade goods, so, in the absence of trade between these two countries, each country consumes the amount of jeans and rye it produces.…
