Consider the market for meekers in the imaginary economy of Meekertown. In the absence of international trade, the domestic price of meekers is $30. Suppose that the world price of meekers is $40. Assume that Meekertown is too small to influence the world price of meekers once it enters the international market. If Meekertown allows free trade, then it will meekers. Given current economic conditions in Meekertown, complete the following table by indicating whether each of the statements is true or false. Statement True False Meekertownian consumers are worse off under free trade than they were before. Meekertownian producers were better off without free trade than they are with it. True or False: When a country is too small to affect the world price, allowing free trade will have a non-negative effect on total surplus in that country, regardless of whether it imports or exports as a result of international trade. O True False
Suppose trade protectionism is imposed, and a tariff is introduced to the market for butter. We can assume that the quantity demanded will _____ and the quantity supplied will _____ increase or decrease?
In intentional trade negotiations, it is very common for a country's trade representative to threaten to enact protectionist policy that include: tariffs, quotas, quota-tariff, national security restrictions, and domestic content requirements. Define what each of these protection policies. Explain why quotas are usually the least creditable threat. If the trade represents a small importing country, would it make economic sense to threaten tariffs? Why or Why not?
Finally, Canada and Australia are both English-speaking countries with not-too dissimilar population sizes. However, Canada’s trade is twice as large as that of Australia’s. to what extent, does comparative advantage help explain this?
Suppose Jordan is open to free trade in the world market for oranges. Because of Jordan's small size, the demand for and supply of oranges in Jordan do not affect the world price. The following graph shows the domestic oranges market in Jordan. The world price of oranges is Pw = $800 per ton. Throughout this problem, assume that changes in trade policies in other nations do not significantly affect the world market for oranges and that there are no transportation or transaction costs associated with international trade in oranges. Also assume that domestic supplies will satisfy domestic demand as much as possible before any exporting or importing takes place. 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 domestic producer surplus (PS). PRICE (Dollars per ton) 1280 1220 1160 1100 1040…
The following hypothetical production possibilities tables are for China and the United States. Assume that before specialization and trade, the optimal product mix for China is alternative B and for the United States is alternative U. a. Are comparative-cost conditions such that the two areas should specialize? If so, what product should each produce? b. What is the total gain in apparel and chemical output that would result from such specialization? c. What are the limits of the terms of trade? Suppose that the actual terms of trade are 1 unit of apparel for 1 unit of chemicals and that 4 units of apparel are exchanged for 6 units of chemicals. What are the gains from specialization and trade for each nation?

The following graph shows the domestic supply of and demand for maize in Burundi. The world price (Pw) of maize is $270 per ton and is represented by the horizontal black line. Throughout the question, 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. 450 Domestic Demand Domestic Supply 430 410 390 370 350 330 310 290 P 270 250 40 80 120 180 200 240 280 320 360 400 QUANTITY (Tons of maize) If Burundi is open to international trade in maize without any restrictions, it will import tons of maize. Suppose the Burundian government wants to reduce imports to exactly 160 tons of maize to help domestic producers. A tariff of per ton will achieve this. A tariff set at this level would raise $ in revenue for the…
