Compare the effects of a $10 tariff in a small country and a large country by answering the question below. Assume that the countries you are comparing have the same domestic supply and demand curves and face the same initial world price. does the Quantity imported falls in the large country by the same amount as in the small country? does The domestic price rises in the large country by more than in the small country? does tariff revenue rises in the large country by less than in the small country?
Suppose a nation is considering two alternative policies to protect a domestic industry from world trade. The two policies are an import quota of Xunits and a per- unit tariff that would reduce imports to X units. Though either policy would result in only X imported units of this good, there is a fundamental difference in the outcome. Explain this difference.
E1 Kazakhstan is a “small” country that cannot affect world prices. Their demand for coffee is given by D : QD = 400–10P and their supply of coffee is given by S : QS = 50 + 5P. The world price of coffee is $10. a) If Kazakhstan engage in free trade, determine whether Kazakhstan imports or exports coffee, and in what quantity. Suppose Kazakhstan imposes an import quota on coffee of 50 units. b) Determine the price of coffee in Kazakhstan. c) Determine the size (numerically) of the quota rents. d) Determine the overall effect on welfare in Kazakhstan (again, with a numerical value) of the quota, relative to free trade.

The following figure illustrates the tomato market for Mexico, assumed to be a "small" country that is unable t to affect the world price. Suppose the world price of tomato is given and constant at $100 per ton. SM is the domestic supply and DM is the domestic demand for Mexico. Now suppose the Mexican government provides production subsidy of $200 per ton to its tomato producers. SM (with subsidy) is Mexico's supply schedule with production subsidy. Price ($) 800 300 100 0 2 8 SM 20 SM (with subsidy) World price DM Tons of Tomatoes Refer to the figure above. As a result of the production subsidy, the deadweight loss to Mexico equals [Select]
In 2015, the European Commission proposedgiving individual member states the right to ban imports of genetically modified fruits and vegetables even if those products are still permitted at the European Union level. If a member state acted to ban such imports, what would be the likely effect of that policy on world prices and quantities? Would such a ban help deter the production of genetically modified products?
Which of the following is NOT a common reason why tariffs are used despite being inefficient?
How does the imposition of tariffs on imported goods affect the total cost of production for domestic industries in the long run?
A small country imports salt. With free trade at the world price of $10 per pound, the country's national market is as follows: Domestic production: 100 million pounds per year Domestic consumption: 200 million pounds per year The country's government now decides to impose a $3 tariff per pound that limits salt imports to 40 million pounds per year. With the tariff in effect, the domestic production increases to 130 million pounds per year. Answer the following 3 questions according to this information. How much is the domestic producers gain or loss from the quota? How much is the domestic consumers' gain or loss after tariff? What is the government revenue from tariff?
If unit labor costs in Spain and Portugal rise, but unit labor costs in Germany decline and other producer prices remain unchanged, what effect should these factors, by themselves, have on export trade, and why?
For a blue cheese to be called "Roquefort cheese," it must be aged in the natural Combalou caves of Roquefort-sur-Soulzon in France. Because Australia also has a specialized blue cheese, "Meredith Blue," which it wants to protect, the Australian government requires cheese importers to fill out additional paperwork to verify where all imported blue cheese is aged. In this (fictional) scenario, what non-tariff barrier to trade is Australia employing? A. Buy domestic program B.Environmental standards C.Import licenses D.Quantitiative restrictions
