Suppose that one country (Country A) subsidizes its exports and the other country (Country B) imposes a "countervailing" tariff that offsets its effect, so that in the end relative prices in the second country are unchanged. What happens to the terms of trade? What about welfare in the two countries? O A. From Country A's perspective, world relative supply will increase and world relative demand will increase. This will improve its terms of trade. The countervailing tariff exacerbates this effect so Country A will definitely gain and Country B definitely loses. O B. From Country A's perspective, world relative supply will decrease and world relative demand will increase. This will improve its terms of trade. The countervailing tariff exacerbates this effect so Country A will definitely gain and Country B definitely loses. C. From Country A's perspective, world relative supply will decrease and world relative demand will increase. This will worsen its terms of trade. The countervailing…

3. Gains from trade Consider two neighboring island countries called Bellissima and Dolorium. They each have 4 million labor hours available per week that they can use to produce rye, jeans, or a combination of both. The following table shows the amount of rye or jeans that can be produced using 1 hour of labor. Country Rye Jeans (Bushels per hour of labor) (Pairs per hour of labor) Bellissima 8 16 Dolorium 5 20 Initially, suppose Bellissima uses 1 million hours of labor per week to produce rye and 3 million hours per week to produce jeans, while Dolorium uses 3 million hours of labor per week to produce rye and 1 million hours per week to produce jeans. Consequently, Bellissima produces 8 million bushels of rye and 48 million pairs of jeans, and Dolorium produces 15 million bushels of rye and 20 million pairs of jeans. Assume there are no other countries willing to trade goods, so, in the absence of trade between these two countries, each country…
llery Two countries namely the United States and the United Kingdom can produce both wheat and whiskey. Their production possibility frontiers are shown below. Based on this one can say that Wheat (millions of bushels) United States 1500 1000 Whiskey (millions of bottles) Wheat (millions of bushels) 100 United Kingdom 500 Whiskey (millions of bottles) nt ire O Both countries would gain if the United States produced both wheat and whiskey, and United Kingdom produced only whiskey and they traded. O Both countries will get the most desired outcome if each produced both wheat and whiskey, and they traded in both wheat and whiskey. O Both countries would gain if United States produced only whiskey and United Kingdom produced both wheat and whiskey and they traded. O Both countries would gain if the United States specialized in producing wheat, and United Kingdom produced only whiskey and they traded.
