4. Effects of a tariff on international trade The following graph shows the domestic demand for and supply of maize in Kenya. The world price (Pw) of maize is $265 per ton and is displayed as a horizontal black line. Throughout the question, assume that all countries under consideration are small, that is, the amount demanded by any one country does not affect the world price of maize and that there are no transportation or transaction costs associated with international trade in maize. Also, assume that domestic suppliers will satisfy domestic demand as much as possible before any exporting or importing takes place. 505 475 445 PRICE (Delare per to 415 366 355 295 255 Domestic Demand 235 209 1. 50 I 1 Y-Intercept: 265 Domestic Supply 100 150 200 250 30 YA 400 QUANTITY (Toms of mace) 450 500 ?

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).

1. Consider the following: Canada U.S. Rest of the World (ROW) PxC=$8 PXUS=$5 PxR=$4 (i) Tariff restrictions in effect: Suppose Canada imposes a tariff on its imports of good X. From whom would Canada import? What is the implicit maximum tariff rate so that trade could still exist?
4. Tariff effects: An overview Consider two hypothetical countries, Borzia and Ardon. Both countries produce iDevices, and the price of iDevices is lower in Borzia than in Ardon. If Borzia and Ardon open to trade, producers in Ardon would be more likely to lobby their government for an import tariff on iDevices in order to protect themselves from foreign competition. Which of the following statements about the effects of the tariff compared to free trade are correct? Check all that apply. In Ardon, consumers pay more for the domestic iDevices. In Ardon, some workers at retail and shipping companies that import iDevices lose their jobs. In Ardon, producers of iDevices are willing to expand output. In Borzia, workers in iDevice importing companies lose their jobs. In Ardon, workers in iDevice importing companies see more jobs available to them.

5. Effects of a tariff on international trade The following graph shows the domestic supply of and demand for maize in Bangladesh. Bangladesh is open to international trade of maize without any restrictions. The world price (Pw) of maize is $260 per ton and is represented by the horizontal black line. Throughout this problem, assume that the amount demanded by any one country does not affect the world price of maize and that there are no transportation or transaction costs associated with international trade in maize. Also, assume that domestic suppliers will satisfy domestic demand as much as possible before any exporting or importing takes place. Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph.

5. Before the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) gradually eliminated import tariffs on goods, the autarky price of tomatoes in Mexico was below the world price and in the United States was above the world price. Similarly, the autarky price of poultry in Mexico was above the world price and in the United States was below the world price. Draw diagrams with domestic supply and demand curves for each country and each of the two goods. (You will need to draw four diagrams, total.) As a result of NAFTA, the United States now imports tomatoes from Mexico and the United States now exports poultry to Mexico. How would you expect the following groups to be affected? a. Mexican and U.S. consumers of tomatoes. Illustrate the effect on consumer surplus in your diagram. b. Mexican and U.S. producers of tomatoes. Illustrate the effect on producer surplus in your diagram. c. Mexican and U.S. tomato workers. d. Mexican and U.S. consumers of poultry. Illustrate the effect on consumer surplus…
