3. Welfare effects of a tariff in a small country Suppose Kenya is open to free trade in the world market for wheat. Since Kenya is small relative to the international market, the demand for and supply of wheat in Kenya have no impact on the world price. The following graph shows the domestic market for wheat in Kenya. The world price of a ton of wheat is Pw = $400. 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). (?

Show graphically that for any tariff, there is an equivalent quota that would give the same result. What would be the difference, then, between the two types of trade barriers? Hint: It is not something you can see from the graph.
The country of Pepperland exports steel to the Land of Submarines. Information for the quantity demanded (Qd) and quantity supplied (Qs) in each country, in a world without trade, are given in Table 34.6 and Table 34.7. What would be the equilibrium price and quantity in each country in a world without trade? How can you tell? What would be the equilibrium price and quantity in each country if trade is allowed to occur? How can you tell? Sketch two supply and demand diagrams, one for each country, in the situation before trade. On those diagrams, show the equilibrium price and the levels of exports and imports in the world after trade. If the Land of Submarines imposes an anti- dumping import quota of 30, explain in general terms whether it will benefit or injure consumers and producers in each country. Does your general answer change if the Land of Submarines imposes an import quota of 70?
3. Welfare effects of a tariff in a small country Suppose Kenya is open to free trade in the world market for wheat. Because of Kenya's small size, the demand for and supply of wheat in Kenya do not affect the world price. The following graph shows the domestic wheat market in Kenya. The world price of wheat is PWPW = $250 per tonne. 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). If Kenya allows international trade in the market for wheat, it will import tonnes of wheat. Now suppose the Kenyan government decides to impose a tariff of $60 on each imported tonne of wheat. After the tariff, the price Kenyan consumers pay for a tonne of wheat is , and Kenya will import tonnes of wheat. Show the effects of the…
