Explain the argument of knowledge spilloversas a potential reason for infant industry protection.6. (6) If infant industry protection is justified, is it better for the Home country to usea tariff or a quota, and why?

Since you have asked multiple question, we will solve the first question for you. If you want any specific question to be solved then please specify the question number or post only that question. In economics, an infant industry is a nascent industry that faces relative difficulties or is completely incapable of competing with established international competitors in its early stages. Governments are sometimes asked to aid the growth of infant industries by providing subsidies or tariffs to protect domestic industries in their early stages. Subsidies can be indirect, such as when import duties or a limitation on the import of a raw or finished material are enforced. In order to defend the American textile sector, the US Congress imposed taxes on a range of imports, including cotton, leather, and other types of clothing. Economists argue that government funding for startups is only appropriate if there are external advantages.If we compare the economies of scale and technology used by infant industries to their larger foreign counterparts, we can see that the former is at a disadvantage. As a result, the domestic country must protect them, or the citizens' innovation and entrepreneurship will cease. An economic justification for trade protectionism is the baby industry argument. The primary premise is that emerging industries generally lack the economies of scale that older competitors from other nations do, and hence must be safeguarded until they can achieve equal economies of scale. The idea behind the claim is that trade protectionism is expensive in the short run but beneficial in the long run.

4. Understanding different policy options to correct for negativeexternalities Carbon dioxide emissions have been linked to increased air pollution. The following table lists some possible public policies aimed at reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the air. For each policy listed, identify whether it is a command-and-control policy (regulation), tradable permit system, corrective subsidy, or corrective tax. Command- and- Tradable Permit System Corrective Tax Control Corrective Public Policy Policy Subsidy The government agrees to reimburse all factories that purchase new, emissions-reducing technology in order to provide cleaner air. The government limits total carbon-dioxide emişsions by all factories to 120,000 tons per month. Each individual factory is given the right to emit 110 tons of carbon dioxide, and factories may buy and sell these rights in a marketplace. The government charges factories $400-for every ton of carbon dioxide they emit. The government orders every…
In a far away country called Monopolyland, there is only one producer of board games. The market demand for board games is P = 800 - Q and CMg = 50 + Q.(a) Determine the price and quantity of board games traded in this country. (Hint: IMg = 800 - 2Q)(b) Determine the social loss incurred by the existence of this monopoly.(c) What action should the country's authority take to maximise social welfare? What quantity and price would there be in this case?
3. Externalities. Consider a firm that causes pollution in a lake affecting a group of individuals. The production cost of the firm is c(q) = cq²/2, where c> 0 and q is the quantity produced by the firm, and the total cost imposed on the individuals (adding the costs suffered by each of them) is (q) = pq²/2, where > 0. (a) Suppose initially that the firm cannot bargain, trade, or otherwise compensate the individuals. Calculate the profit maximizing choice of output by the firm, the revenue of the firm, the private cost of the firm, the externality that the firm imposes over the individuals, and the total social cost. (b) Suppose now that the individuals affected by pollution in the lake own the lake, and that they organize to sell pollution permits, with a price of p, so that the firm must pay p per unit of output. Find the competitive price of pollution permits, as well as the profit max- imizing choice of output by the firm if the firm must buy pollution permits and buys them at the…

4. Understanding different policy options to correct for negativeexternalities Carbon dioxide emissions have been linked to melting of sea ice. The following table lists some potential regulations targeting the amount of airborne carbon dioxide. For each policy listed, identify whether it is a command-and-control policy (regulation), tradable permit system, corrective subsidy, or corrective tax. Tradable Permit System Public Policy The government limits total carbon-dioxide emissions by all factories to 260,000 tons per five years. Each individual factory is given the right to emit 230 tons of carbon dioxide, and factories may buy and sell these rights in a marketplace. Trees take carbon dioxide out of the air and convert it to oxygen, so the government funds a tree-planting initiative by offering $440 to any citizen who plants a tree. The government orders every factory to adopt a new technology, which reduces carbon-dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. The government charges…
