Assume that Trinbago is a small country that produces wine and motor vehicles, where motor vehicles are capital intensive. Trinbago is also capital intensive, and the standard Heckscher -Ohlin assumptions hold. The other country in the model is Vincyland. 1. Given that Vincyland is a small country, examine the partial equilibrium welfare effects associated with imposing a tariff on their import good given that the prediction of the imported good yields a positive externality.

Suppose that Norway is a small country and currently produces 100,000 board feet of lumber at $600 per 1,000 board feet. Then it begins to trade at the world price of $500 per 1,000 board feet. As a result of trade, Norway's production falls to 50,000 board feet and its consumption increases to 200,000 board feet. What is Norway's total welfare gain once it begins to trade? $5,000 $7,500 $17,500 $15,000

Consider a firm run by an “incumbent” manager. Suppose the incumbent manager has the opportunity to invest in one of two different projects, Project 1 or Project 2. The incumbent manager has a higher ability in managing Project 1 rather than Project 2. Also, if theincumbent is fired by shareholders, she is replaced by an “alternative” manager whose ability to manage Project 1 is lower than the incumbent’s ability. Suppose the investment in a project is irreversible, and the shareholders’ choice of the incumbent manager salary (as well as their decision on whether to fire her) is taken afterthe investment is made. Also, assume the incumbent manager has a stake in the firm she runs, but she does not fully control it. Questions:(a) Suppose none of the projects gives the manager a direct utility. According to Shleifer and Vishny (1989), which of the two projects should the incumbent manager choose? What is the economic rationale behind this choice? Explain. (b) Suppose the incumbent…

Consider the market for meekers in the imaginary economy of Meekertown. In the absence of international trade, the domestic price of meekers is $38. Suppose that the world price of meekers is $36. 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 were better off without free trade than they are with it. Meekertownian producers were worse 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 sometimes decrease total surplus in that country, regardless of whether it imports or exports as a result of international trade. True False

You are planning to rent a car for a one-week vacation. You have the option of buying an insurance that costs $80 dollars for a week. If you do not purchase insurance, you would be personally liable for any damages. You anticipate that a minor collision will cost $2,000, whereas a major accident might cost $16,000 in repairs. Develop a payoff table for this situation. What decision should you make using each strategy? Aggressive (Optimistic) Conservative (Pessimistic) Opportunity Loss You have recently read in a magazine that that the probability of a major accident is 0.05% and that the probability of a minor collision is 0.18%. Construct a decision tree and identify the best expected value decision.
