a. The demand curve facing a monopolistic competitor in a market where all producers charge different prices becomes less elastic when it engages in international trade b. According to the gravity equation, countries closer to each other trade more c. The only gain from trade in monopolistic competition in trade is lower prices d. The closer to i the index of intra industry trade is, the greater the difference between exports and imports of the same goods.

Assume that the Indian JuteIndustry is at present in a equilibrium state with the producers supplyingjute bags only to the domestic market atthe prevailing market prices. Apart from domestic suppliers, Indian juteindustry faces competition from Bangladesh. Explain with the help ofsupply-demand curves how the following events affect the equilibrium in thejute industry?a. Poor domestic demandb. Increasedcompetition from Bangladeshc. Cement industry,which is one of the largest users of jute bags,exempted from mandatory jute packagingd. Farmers, instead ofproducing jute, use their farm lands for some other purposes.
May and Raj me the only two growers who provide organically grown corn to a local grocery store. They know that if they cooperated and produced less corn, they could raise the price of the com. If they work independently, they will each earn 100. If they decide to work together and both lower their output, they call each earn 150. If one person lowers output and the other does not, the person who lowers output will earn $1 and the other person will capture the entire market and will earn 200. Table 10.6 represents the choices available to Mary and Raj. What is the best choice for Raj if he is sole that Mary will cooperate? If Mary thinks Raj will cheat, what should Mary do and why? What is the prisoners dilemma result? What is the preferred choice if they could ensure cooperation? A = Work independently; B = Cooperate and Lower Output. (Each results entry lists Rajs earnings first, and Marys earnings second.)
1. A large share of the world supply of diamonds comes from Russia and South Africa. Suppose that the mar- ginal cost of mining diamonds is constant at $1,000 per diamond and the demand for diamonds is described by the following schedule: Price $8,000 7,000 6,000 5,000 4,000 3,000 2,000 1,000 Quantity 5,000 diamonds 6,000 7,000 8,000 9,000 10,000 11,000 12,000 a. If there were many suppliers of diamonds, what would be the price and quantity? b. If there were only one supplier of diamonds, what would be the price and quantity? c. If Russia and South Africa formed a cartel, what would be the price and quantity? If the countries split the market evenly, what would be South Africa's production and profit? What would hap- pen to South Africa's profit if it increased its pro- duction by 1,000 while Russia stuck to the cartel agreement? d. Use your answers to part (c) to explain why cartel agreements are often not successful.

Suppose Boeing is more efficient at making airplanesthan Airbus. Starting from slide 33, Figure 10-9, let’s change the payoff matrix, so that if Boeingand Airbus both produce, Boeing gets +5, instead of -5. And, if Boeing produces, and Airbusdoes not produce, Boeing gets +125 instead of +100. Will there be a unique equilibrium in thiscase?3. Trade and the Environment Figure 11-4 in the slides shows a case of a negativeproduction externality and in which free trade leads to imports. Instead, analyze the case inwhich free trade leads to exports (i.e., the world price is greater than the no-trade price).a. Create your version of figure 11-4a, but illustrate the case in which the world price ishigher than the no-trade price.b.…

For many years, the Justice Department has tried to break up large firms like IBM,Microsoft, and most recently Google, on the grounds that their large market share madethem essentially monopolies. In a global market, where U.S. firms compete with firms fromother countries, would this policy make the same sense as it might in a purely domesticcontext?
