3. Import quotas Kazakhstan is a grape producer, as well as an importer of grapes. Suppose the following graph shows Kazakhstan's domestic market for grapes, where Sx is the supply curve and Dx is the demand curve. The free trade world price of grapes (Pw) is $800 per ton. Suppose Kazakhstan's government restricts imports of grapes to 120,000 tons. The world price of grapes is not affected by the quota. Analyze the effects of the quota on Kazakhstan's welfare. On the following graph, use the purple line (diamond symbol) to draw the Kazakhstan's supply curve including the quota SK+Q. (Hint: Draw this as a straight line even though this curve should be equivalent to the domestic supply curve below the world price.) Then use the grey line (star symbol) to indicate the new price of grapes with a quota of 120,000 grapes.

< Question 73 of 75 The automobile industry in Macroland successfully lobbies for import quotas that result in automobile prices that are $1,000 higher than before the quotas. Increased sales of automobiles produced in Macroland protect the jobs of 20,000 automobile workers. What is an additional consequence of the quotas that is not as attractive for Macroland's economy? Automobile producers in other countries will reduce the price of their cars to offset the higher prices required by the quotas. O Each of Macroland's citizens who buys a car will have $1,000 less to spend on other products, leading to reduced sales and fewer jobs in other industries. The government will lose tax revenue. Consumers will buy more cars than before, pushing the automobile market out of equilibrium.

Home Demand: 90 - 2Pt Foreign Demand: 50 - 4Pt*Home Supply: 30 + 2Pt Foreign Supply: 10 + 2Pt* There are demand and supply functions for good corn for the home country and demand and supply functions for good wheat for the foreign country. Home country as an importer and foreign country as an exporter trade with each other, at zero cost of transportation.A. Find and graph the equilibrium under free trade. What is the world price and the volume of trade? Also, in the absence of trade, what are the prices that would prevail in home country for corn and in foreign country for wheat?.(Pt = Pt* = Pw -> Pw; world prices) B. Suppose home imposes a specific tariff of 5 on corn imports. Find and graph the effects of tariff on price of corn in each country, on the quantity of corn supplied and demanded in each country, on volume of trade?

The following figure illustrates the tomato market for Mexico, assumed to be a "small" country that is unable t to affect the world price. Suppose the world price of tomato is given and constant at $100 per ton. SM is the domestic supply and DM is the domestic demand for Mexico. Now suppose the Mexican government provides production subsidy of $200 per ton to its tomato producers. SM (with subsidy) is Mexico's supply schedule with production subsidy.

The world price of wine is below the price that would prevail in Canada in the absence of trade. Assume that Canadian imports of wine are a small part of total world wine production. The following graph shows the Canadian market for wine under free trade. Use the green triangle (triangle symbol) to shade consumer surplus when Canada is open to trade. Then use the purple triangle (diamond symbol) to shade producer surplus in this case. Price of Wine Domestic Demand Quantity of Wine Domestic Supply World Price Consumer Surplus Producer Surplus (?)

The supply curve, S, is the domestic producers' supply curve for the good. D is the domestic consumers' demand curve. With free trade, the price in the domestic economy equals the world price, P2. However the domestic government has imposed a tariff on imports that has raised the price of the good in the domestic economy from P2 to P3.

3. Welfare effects of a tariff in a small country Suppose Bangladesh is open to free trade in the world market for maize. Because of Bangladesh's small size, the demand for and supply of maize in Bangladesh do not affect the world price. The following graph shows the domestic maize market in Bangladesh. The world price of maize is Pw = $350 per ton. On the following graph, use the green triangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing consumer surplus (CS) when the economy is at the free-trade equilibrium. Then, use the purple triangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing producer surplus (PS). 710 Domestic Demand Domestic Supply 670 Cs 630 590 550 PS 510 470 430 390 350 310 15 30 45 60 75 90 105 120 135 150 QUANTITY (Tons of maize) If Bangladesh allows international trade in the market for maize, it will import |tons of maize.

Determine the equilibrium under free trade. a) Calculate and show in a diagram the following effects of a quota that limits the import of peanuts to 60 sacks. · The increase in the domestic price. · The quota revenue. · The loss due to production distortion. · The loss due to consumption distortion. b) Could the Government of Andorra have achieved the same trade result using a tariff?
