Suppose that nation A is a small nation with demand and supply of commodity X given by Qd = 120 - 20P and Qs = 20P, respectively. Assume that the free trade price of commodity X is $1, and nation A imposes an import quota of 20X. Draw a figure similar to Figure 9.1 in Salvatore and compute the following: * nation A’s price, production, consumption and imports of commodity X under free trade *nation A’s price, production, consumption and imports of commodity X under the import quota * consumption, production and trade effects of the import quota *dollar value of the consumer surplus and producer surplus before and after the imposition of the import quota *dollar value of the deadweight loss of the import quota, assuming that import licenses are distributed to selected domestic importers free of charge *the maximum price government can charge for the import licenses, and the subsequent dollar value of the deadweight loss of the import quota
Consider the market for meekers in the imaginary economy of Meekertown. In the absence of international trade, the domestic price of meekers is $30. Suppose that the world price of meekers is $40.

If Bangladesh is open to international trade of wheat without any restrictions, it will import the full value for your answer, accounting for the horizontal axis units.) Suppose the Bangladeshi government wants to reduce imports to exactly 200,000 bushels of wheat to help domestic producers. A tariff of S per bushel will achieve this. A tariff set at this level would raise $ bushels of wheat. (Note: Be sure to enter in revenue for the Bangladeshi government.

1. You have just been put in charge of trade policy for Jamaica. Coffee is a recent crop that is growing well, and the Jamaican export market is developing, that is, Jamaica coffee is an infant industry. Jamaica coffee producers come to you and ask for tariff protection from cheap Brazilian coffee. What sorts of policies will you enact? Explain. 2. Does international trade, taken as a whole, increase the total number of jobs, decrease the total number of jobs, or leave the total number of jobs about the same? Hint: Provide your answer (with reasoning) based on what you expect under the partial equilibrium model for the exporting country, the importing country, and the net overall effect on the world.
Assume that the weekly domestic demand for petroleum is represented by the equation: P= -2.25Q + 600. And, the weekly domestic supply of petroleum is represented by the equation: P= 1.5Q + 25. Assume also, that the world price of petroleum is $200. What is the domestic autarky price and quantity when this economy is closed to trade? What would be the total quantity of petroleum demanded when the economy is open to international trade? What would be the volume of imports when the economy is open to trade? What is the import dependency ratio in this economy when it is open for international trade in petroleum?
