a. How would the number of firms competing in a particular market affect the likelihood that an exporter to that market would be accused of dumping? (Assume that the likelihood of a dumping accusation is related to the firm's price difference between its domestic price and its export price: the higher the price difference, the more likely the dumping accusation.) As the number of firms competing in a particular market increases, the price charged by exporters (and domestic firms) will fall dumping charge will be filed. increasing the probability that a b. Would a firm from a large country be more or less likely to be accused of dumping when it exports to a small country (relative to a firm from the small country exporting to the large country)? A firm exporting from a large country to a small country will be likely to be accused of dumping than a firm exporting from a small country to a large country because it will experience a ▼ difference between its domestic price and its export price since there will be firms competing in the smaller country.

The small nation of Capralia has an abundant stock of Pashmina goats, a breed that yields high-quality cashmere. Capralia's authorities are still debating whether to open their economy to international trade. The international price of cashmere is $70,000 per metric ton, and the Capralian cashmere sells for $50,000 per metric ton. Place the consumer surplus triangle (CS) and the producer surplus triangle (PS) to correctly depict consumer and producer surplus if Capralia chooses to open its borders to the international cashmere trade. 100 Price ($/metric ton) 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 Capralia's Domestic Cashmere Market 10 0 0 6 domestic supply domestic quilibrium domestic demand 30 42 36 18 24 12 Quantity (thousands of metric tons). 48 54 60 CS APS ENG
Suppose there are three countries, the EU, Mexico, and Asia, in the world and the EU imports electronics from either Mexico or Asia (or both). Assume that Mexico is a small supplier and Asia is a large supplier and the free-trade prices of electronics from Mexico and Asia are PMEXICO=$1,200 and PASIA=$1,000, respectively, and the EU initially imposes a 15% tariff on both Mexico and Asia. Now the EU forms an FTA with Mexico. Use a graph of import demand and export supply curves to show the impact of this FTA on EU’s consumer surplus, government revenue, and welfare. Is the EU better off or worse off with the FTA? In the above graph, identify the effect of the FTA on Mexico’s producer surplus. Suppose after the FTA with the EU, Mexico invests in its electronics industry and lowers its marginal cost such that its free-trade price is PMEXICO=$1,100. How would the graph and the answer in parts (a) and (b) change?
Dumping refers to the idea of selling goods for below their cost of production. Briefly explain the two scenarios why foreign firms may export a product at less than its cost of production (therefore, earning a negative profit on the good).
Economics Question
For a blue cheese to be called "Roquefort cheese," it must be aged in the natural Combalou caves of Roquefort-sur-Soulzon in France. Because Australia also has a specialized blue cheese, "Meredith Blue," which it wants to protect, the Australian government requires cheese importers to fill out additional paperwork to verify where all imported blue cheese is aged. In this (fictional) scenario, what non-tariff barrier to trade is Australia employing? A. Buy domestic program B.Environmental standards C.Import licenses D.Quantitiative restrictions
The United States imports a lot of cars, despite having its own auto industry. Each of the following statements are arguments some people could make for restricting imports of cars into the United States. For each statement, identify the threat to the U.S. industry that the argument is trying to counter, and identify the opportunities that would be given up if the argument wins. SELECT THE CORRECT ANSWER a. “Foreign manufacturers are offloading their cheap cars onto the U.S. market. We should stop this so that consumers have access to higher-quality U.S. cars.” -National security requires that strategically important goods be produced domestically. -Protection can help infant industries develop. -Foreign competition may lead to job losses. -Anti-dumping laws prevent unfair competition. -Trade should not enable foreign firms to skirt U.S. regulations. b. “We must foster the innovation of small car companies, like Tesla. Allowing foreign electric vehicle manufacturers…

Export prices below average cost for a short period of time. c. Export prices below marginal cost for any period of time. d. Export prices below average cost for any period of time. e. A lower price in foreign markets than in the domestic market.
The imposition of a tariff on foreign goods is more likely to decrease producer surplus of the domestic firms competing with those foreign firms on whom the tariff is imposed. True or False
Consider two countries, Home and Foreign. In the figure below, the import demand ("IDHome") curve depicts Home's demand for Foreign's flash drives, and the import supply curve ("ISForeign") depicts Foreign's supply of flash drives to Home. Assume Home is a "large" country that levies a tariff against Foreign imports of flash drives, thereby shifting the relevant supply curve from ISForeign to ISForeign +t. For the following questions, please refer to the figure below.

With a tariff of $ 12 per flash drive, Home's consumer surplus equals $72, Foreign's producer surplus equals $ 36, Home's tariff revenue equals $72, and Home's deadweight loss equals $45. Of the Home's tariff revenue, $36 comes from Foreign's producers, and the rest comes from Home's consumers.…
Consider a region with two export products (gloves and socks) and two local goods (tattoos and manicures). The production of each export good is subject to localization economies, so each city specializes in one export good. According to Mr. Wizard, “If my two assumptions (one for export products and one for local goods) are correct, all the cities in the region will be the same size.” Assume that Mr. Wizard’s logic is correct. List his assumptions and explain why together they imply the region’s cities will be the same size.
The U.S. economy relies heavily on international trade. Choose two transactions at random that result from international trade; one where purchases are made from another country and one where the U.S. sends a product to another country. Identify the impact of each of these on imports, exports, net imports, and net exports at the time the transaction takes place. For example, if you purchase a product online that is made in and shipped from Italy to you in the United States what is the effect on the U.S. economy in these four categories at the time of the transaction? In addition, there has been a lot of news in recent years surrounding tariffs. Exactly what is a tariff and what is the impact of tariffs on international trade? Who pays the cost of tarffs?
