B. In 1651 the British established a colony in present day Suriname. In 1667, the British and the Dutch exchanged colonies.

Suriname is natural resource rich country (gold, diamonds, oil, gas, bauxite, timber, agricultural lands). Suriname at the time wasa plantation colony producing sugar, rice, and indigo with African slave labor. Was this a fair exchange in your opportunity,

Suppose that Georgiania was a thriving empire in its golden age. Business was booming and it was the center of international trade under the leadership of Emperor Raphael III. His empire's pride and joy was the trading of green and black tea, and he decreed that their entire economy should be built around it. However, in the mid 1800s, Georgiania experienced a severe economic downturn when the other nations of the world created an embargo on tea from Georgiania, which led to civil strife due to thousands of workers being laid off. A downward fluctuation in the economy like this is known as economic growth. a recession. the invisible hand. market failure.

5. The following is a list of other factors that can make trade beneficial (i) Trade is an engine of growth. (ii) Non-economic factors. (iii) Increased competition. (iv) Differences in demand. (v) Decreasing costs. Into which one of these five categories do the following examples fit? (a) By specialising in certain export, the country may become increasingly skilled in their production. (b) Free trade between countries may encourage closer political co-operation (c) When the rest-of-the-world economy expands, this will increase the demand for a country's exports and also raise its export prices relative to import prices. (d) Consumer tastes for products differ between different countries. (e) Allowing imports freely into a country may stimulate domestic producers to be more efficient.
Suppose that there are two countries, the North and the South. Given the North's resources, it can produce 4 Cars in an hour or 1 unit of wheat in an hour. Given the South's resources, it can produce 1 car per hour or 4 units of wheat in an hour. Both countries have forty hours in total to produce wheat and cars. Finally, the goal of each country is to have the most possible cars and wheat, but also to always have an equal amount of each. In other words, 10 cars and 10 wheat is just as valuable as 11 cars and 10 units of wheat, or 10 cars and 11 units of wheat, but 11 cars and 11 wheat would make the country even better off. The question below relates to the PPF for the North and the South. While you do not need to turn in a graph of the PPF, they may be helpful to answer these questions. Finally, the first set of questions refers to a world where the North and South cannot trade, while the second set of questions refers to a world where they can trade. In the latter set of…
Three former Uruguayan presidents recommended the current administration that without abandoning Mercosur, it should look at major trade blocks associations but at the same time a strong self criticism is needed because maybe the problem is not in Mercosur but in Uruguay. The absence of conditions in the Uruguayan economy to compete for markets and investments, the wrong energy and foreign policies and the infinite tolerance with the bilateral mechanism imposed by Argentina and Brazil in the region are the main causes by which Mercosur has seen its rules and institutions erode and most probably leading it to a major failure. The three leaders are Julio Maria Sanguinetti (1985/1990 and 1995/2000); Luis Alberto Lacalle (1990/1995) and Jorge Batlle (2000/2005). The only living president missing at the conference was Tabare Vasquez (2000/2005), who belongs to the current ruling coalition. “We need powerful friends and partners but distant” said Lacalle who suggested Uruguay should reach…
As you may have heard, Russia decided to invade its neighbor, which has led to international condemnation (albeit not on all fronts). The EU, a former major importer of gas from Russai, went ahead with sanctions. Imagine, if you will, that the respective heads of state get together and try to negotiate a trade agreement to end sanctions. They each have three possible choices: (a) Maintain tariffs against the other nation (T); (b) Seek mediation from the WTO, which would implement an international trade agreement at a small cost (M); (c) Unilaterally remove tariffs (F). The payoff matrix is as given below. Is there a dominant strategy for either player? Find all the (pure strategy) Nash equilibria in the game. How would this change if, instead, the mediation is costless and yields a payoff of 50 to each nation (assuming mutually successful mediation) and a payoff of 0 (if the other nation chooses otherwise)? **
Which of the following statements concerning location economies is FALSE? Explain Why? 1. Companies must determine where to sell and where to produce. 2.The Internet is an industry where companies must locate facilities near their foreign customers, so decisions on market and production location are connected.

The process of determining an overall geographic strategy must be flexible because country conditions change
