The world price (Pw) of oranges is $535 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 oranges and that there are no transportation or transaction costs associated with international trade in oranges. Also, assume that domestic suppliers will satisfy domestic demand as much as possible before any exporting or importing takes place. (?)

SCENARIO A: Estonia, a net importer of sugar, imposes a tariff on sugar. The following table provides the hypothetical information to Estonia's imports, consumption, and production of sugar following the tariff introduction. Without Tariff (free With Tariff trade) World price $12 $12 ($/pound) Domestic price $12 $15 ($/pound) Domestic Consumption 1500 1000 (million pounds/year) Domestic Production 100 300 (million pounds/year) Calculate the net welfare effect of the tariff introduction. Is Estonia better off or worse off?
Consider the market for coffee in the small, isolated country of Krakozhia. Within Krakozhia, the domestic demand for coffee is: Q = 500-2p and the domestic supply of coffee is: Q* = -150+ 3p
(a) Define, compare, and contrast the following trade policies: (i) tariffs, (ii) export subsidies, and (iii) quantitative restrictions. Be sure to include in your answer a discussion of the expected effect these policies have on prices, exports (for the exporting country), imports (for the importing country), and the welfare of various actors. (b) In 2016, the United Kingdom voted to withdraw from the European Union. First, explain the motivation supporting both the "leave" and "stay" policies. Second, what is the expected economic effect of the United Kingdom leaving the European Union?
(a) Draw an offer curve for Guatemala that shows its offer of coffee for wheat. Include both an elastic and inelastic range in Guatemala’s offer curve. (b) Draw an offer curve for the United States that shows its offer of wheat for coffee. Show this US curve intersecting the Guatemalan offer curve in the inelastic range of the Guatemalan curve. Note the equilibrium terms of trade established. (c) Compare the equilibrium international price you found in question (b) to the autarky prices in Guatemala and in the United States. (You can find a country’s autarky price by drawing a line tangent to the offer curve at the origin.) Explain which country benefits the most from a more favorable movement in its terms of trade when it abandons its autarky position. (d) “The Guatemalan offer curve is likely to be less elastic than the US offer curve.” Justify this claim by explaining what factors determine the elasticity of an offer curve.
4. Effects of a tariff on international trade The following graph shows the domestic demand for and supply of oranges in Honduras. The world price (Pw) of oranges is $535 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 oranges and that there are no transportation or transaction costs associated with international trade in oranges. Also, assume that domestic suppliers will satisfy domestic demand as much as possible before any exporting or importing takes place.

Government controls imposed on the flow of capital into or out of the country ☐ Two prospective trading partners being very distant from one another O Trading partners struggling to made trade deals because of the inability to communicate seamlessly and effectively ☐ Imposition by a country of a numerical limit on how much sugar can be imported under a low tariff ☐ Agricultural subsidies provided by the U.S. government to corn farmers Two countries agreeing to eliminate all tariffs on goods traded between them
Price $36 $30 $26 I I Home market S D 20 40 80 100 Quantity Price 40 World market I 80 X* + t ·X* Imports The graphs show the case for a tariff imposed by a large country. According to these graphs, if the world price of the product is given as $30 and a $10 tariff is imposed, then the new price after the tariff is $36. So the terms-of-trade gain is 40 80 10 160
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…
