6. The arguments for restricting trade Suppose there is a policy proposal to increase trade restrictions on imported microprocessors to the United States. Read the following scenario and answer the question that follows. The president of the United States argues that the United States should threaten to impose a tariff on Chinese microprocessors in order to induce the Chinese to remove its tariff on American cars. Which of the following justifications is the president using to support their argument in favor of the trade restriction on microprocessors?

Suppose that the Guatemalan government changes its international trade policy to allow free trade in tangerines. The horizontal black line (Pw) represents the world price of tangerines at $500 per tonne. Assume that Guatemala's entry into the world market for tangerines has no effect on the world price and that there are no transportation or transaction costs associated with international trade in tangerines. Also assume that domestic suppliers will satisfy domestic…

The U.S. is an importer of ethanol, and let’s assume they are a price-taker in the world market. Suppose that a technological advance in ethanol production in Brazil, the world’s largest exporter, drives down the world price of ethanol by $5. Draw a graph and explain how this change in world price affects consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus in the U.S. market. Now suppose the U.S. government institutes an import tariff of $5 in response to the fall in the world price. On your graph label the revenue raised by the tariff and the deadweight loss created (if it exists). Who is likely to support this policy? Suppose that the fall in price is attributable not to a technological advance but to a subsidy from the Brazilian government to Brazilian ethanol producers. How would this affect your analysis?

When China’s clothing industry expands, the increase in the world supply lowers the world price of clothing. Draw an appropriate diagram to analyze how this change in price affects consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus in a nation that imports clothing, such as the United States. Now, draw an appropriate diagram to show how this change in price affects consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus in a nation that exports clothing, such as the Dominican Republic. Compare your answers (a) and (b). what are the similarities, and what are the differences? Which country should be concerned about the expansion of the Chinese textile industry? Which country should be applauding it? Explain.
4. Effects of a tariff on international trade The following graph shows the domestic demand for and supply of limes in Guatemala. The world price (Pw) of limes is $790 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 limes and that there are no transportation or transaction costs associated with international trade in limes. Also, assume that domestic suppliers will satisfy domestic demand as much as possible before any exporting or importing takes place. PRICE (Dollars per ton) 1110 1070 1030 990 950 910 870 830 790 750 710 0 Domestic Demand 40 25 1 1 80 Domestic Supply 120 160 200 240 280 QUANTITY (Tons of limes) I 1 Pw 320 380 400 (?)
4. Assume that supply for replacement mobile phone batteries in the Australian domestic market is given by the inverse-supply expression P = 9+0.000010s, while inverse demand is P = 19 -0.00001QD. The world price for batteries is $10. (a) Find the equilibrium price and quantity in the market for replacement mo- bile phone batteries if Australia does not engage in any international trade. Compute the consumer surplus, the producer surplus, and the total surplus in the market. (b) Now assume that Australia trades on the world market for batteries, exporting or importing batteries depending on the relation between the world and domestic prices. Find the price at which batteries will be sold in Australia, the quantity purchased, the quantity produced, and the quantity of imports or exports. Compute the consumer surplus, the producer surplus, and the total surplus in the market, as well as the gains from trade relative to part (a). (c) The Australian government imposes a $2 tariff on the…
4. Tariffs 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 Pw =$250 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). 490 Domestic Demand Domestic Supply 460 CS 430 400 370 PS 340 310 280 250 220 190 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 QUANTITY (Thousands of tons of wheat) If Kenya allows international trade in the market for wheat, it will import tons of wheat. Now suppose the Kenyan government decides to impose a tariff of $60 on each imported ton of wheat. After the tariff, the price Kenyan consumers pay for a ton of wheat is $ and Kenya will import tons…
