3. Question 3 A country, called 'Bikyland', does not allow for international trade. Bikyland produces motorbikes for her own consumption. At the equilibrium without international trade, the domestic price (Pdom) is $2000 per motorbike and the quantity (Qdom) is 5 million motorbikes. Then, Bikyland opens up her motorbike market for trade and finds that the world price (Pw) is $2500 per motorbike. Domestic supply (Qsdom) rises to 6 million and domestic demand (QDdom) falls to 4 million motorbikes. 3.1 Draw a graph of the motorbike market with SC, DC, Pdom Qdom Pw, Qsdom and Qpdom- Your graph should show all the numbers. 3.2 At the equilibrium without trade, calculate the revenue that producers/suppliers receive. 3.3 What is the domestic price of motorbikes after international trade is allowed? Will Bikyland become an importer or an exporter? Give a reason for your answer. 3.4 Does joining international trade lead to a shortage or surplus of supply? What is the amount? 3.5 Calculate the…

Instead of textiles, let us consider the case of computers. Suppose by developing a domestic computer industry, Cambodia can encourage entrepreneurship in the tech sector and hence, the social marginal cost in this industry is lower than private marginal cost. Cambodia is a small country in the world market for computers. As a trade policy advisor to Cambodia, which policy/policies would you advise? Select one or more: a imposing small import tariff to encourage domestic production of computers b. offering large producer subsidy to encourage domestic production of computers c. imposing no tariff or production subsidy d. offering no production subsidy, but only large tariff
