explain that how this international trade plays its significant role in the economic development of our country? Furthermore, international trade is not free from disadvantages. Explain some of the disadvantages briefly which are linked with international trade.
6. Violations of the factor-endowment theory of trade While different natural resources and the theory of comparative advantage can explain many trade patterns, they cannot explain all types of trade that economists observe. Consider each scenario in the following table and determine which theory best explains the trade pattern described. Scenario Since the turn of the century, nearly all X-ray machines purchased by hospitals have been made in Alloway. However, engineers in Osteoville recently designed an X-Ray machine that produces much more accurate results, leading to fewer malpractice cases and more reliable diagnoses. These new X-ray machines quickly become the industry standard. As a result of this, the production of X-ray machines is thriving in Osteoville, while firms in Alloway lose market share and begin trying to develop a new source of advantage. Ice wine is a special spirit that can only be made during a few months in the winter. The nations of Fruzenton and Grappovia are…
34. To obtain good A in which one does not have a comparative advantage, it is better to acquire it by "indirect production" – producing good B, in which one does have a comparative advantage, and trading it for good A. True False False
a. What are the gains to be derived from free trade? b. Illustrate, with the use of diagrams, and discuss the gains from free trade. c. Clearly explain and illustrate the gains from exchange and the gains from specialization. (rubric attached as picture)
1. Welfare effects of free trade in an exporting country The following graph shows the same domestic demand and supply curves for lemons in Bolivia. Suppose that the Bolivian government changes its international trade policy to allow free trade in lemons. The horizontal black line (PWPW) represents the world price of lemons at $800 per tonne. Assume that Bolivia's entry into the world market for lemons has no effect on the world price and there are no transportation or transaction costs associated with international trade in lemons. Also assume that domestic suppliers will satisfy domestic demand as much as possible before any exporting or importing takes place. Use the green point (triangle symbol) to shade consumer surplus, and then use the purple point (diamond symbol) to shade producer surplus When Bolivia allows free trade of lemons, the price of a tonne of lemons in Bolivia will be $800.
4. Explain (with example) the concept of public policy induced comparative advantage. 5. Explain in what sense a tariff and a quota are equivalent.
1. Assume a Ricardian trade world where there is only one factor of production. We divide the world into two regions, the East and the West. We assume full employment. Output per unit of labor East Corn (tons) Wine (barrels) Labor available 4 6 1.8 million West 2 5 3 million The East consumes 4,800,000 barrels of wine whether it is in autarky (no trade) or engaging in free trade. When trade occurs, the two regions completely specialize and trade according to their comparative advantage. The terms of trade are 1 corn = 2 wine. When the two regions move from no trade to free trade: (a) what will be the gains of trade for the East (in terms of corn)? (b) how much wine and corn will the West consume. (c) explain carefully how the West gains from trade.
Q95 The division of the gains from trade between two trading countries depends on the... a. Long-run costs. b. Quantity of resources held by each country. c. Level of unemployment in both countries. d. Size of the absolute advantages possessed by each country. e. Difference between the terms of trade and the countries' autarkic relative prices.
4) According to the theory of comparative advantage, a country A. imposes tariffs on goods in which it does not have comparative advantage. B. imports the goods in which it has plenty of factors of production. C. exports the goods in which it does not have comparative advantage. D. imports the goods in which it does not have comparative advantage.
