Country A has a natural climate that is perfect for growing strawberries - long sunny seasons and plenty of rich, well drained soil. Country A also has a big labor force with agriculture knowledge and can produce 80,000 baskets of strawberries in one growing season. By contrast, Country B’s climate is less well-appointed for strawberries - a shorter summer season with large areas of red clay. They also have a smaller population trained in agriculture. Country B can only produce 30,0000 baskets of strawberries in one growing season. In this scenario and with this information, Country A has Group of answer choices Absolute advantage for producing strawberries Comparative advantage for producing strawberries The lowest synthetic advantage for producing strawberries Elastic advantage for producing strawberries
The small happy Kingdom of Pollyanna does not trade with the rest of the world, but uses U.S dollars for its currency. Its domestic price of tofu is $1 per pound and the Kingdom produces and consumes 5 tons of tofu. The world price of tofu is just $0.50 per pound. At this price, the Kingdom would produce only 2 tons of tofu and would consume 8 tons of tofu, and thus have to import 6 tons of tofu. What is the deadweight loss in the tofu market associated with the Kingdom staying closed to trade? (Note: 1 ton = 2000 lbs.)

Suppose a country experiences an inflow of labor from the rest of the world but the world relative price remains the same. In that country, output of the capital - intensive good will and output of the labor - intensive good will.
Consider the domestic steel market. Under autarky, the domestic equilibrium is such that 8 million pounds of steel are produced and sold at a price of $12 per pound. International producers, generally, are able to produce at a lower cost than domestic producers. Under an open trade policy, the world price of $6 enters the domestic market as an exogenous variable. For the questions below, assume that the domestic market is beginning in the equilibrium that exists under an open trade policy and consider the impact of a $3 per pound tariff on imported steel. What is the gain in producer surplus from the tariff? $ million. (round your answer to two decimal palces) What import quota, Q, would produce the same gain in producer surplus as the tariff? Q million pounds (enter your response as a whole number). million.

The U.S. economy relies heavily on international trade. Choose two transactions at random that result from international trade; one where purchases are made from another country and one where the U.S. sends a product to another country. Identify the impact of each of these on imports, exports, net imports, and net exports at the time the transaction takes place. For example, if you purchase a product online that is made in and shipped from Italy to you in the United States what is the effect on the U.S. economy in these four categories at the time of the transaction? In addition, there has been a lot of news in recent years surrounding tariffs. Exactly what is a tariff and what is the impact of tariffs on international trade? Who pays the cost of tarffs?
Happyland can produce 40 tones of marshmallows or 20 tones of chocolate in a year. Friendshipland can produce 80 tones of marshmallows or 40 tones of chocolate in a year. Can these countries benefit from trade with each other based on specialization and comparative advantage? Yes No
A small country imports T-shirts. With free trade at a world price of $10, domestic production is 10 million T-shirts and domestic consumption is 42 million T-shirts. The country's government now decides to impose a quota to limit T-shirt imports to 20 million per year. With the import quota in place, the domestic price rises to $12 per T- shirt and domestic production rises to 15 million T-shirts per year. The quota on T- shirts causes domestic consumers to A) gain $7 million. B) lose $7 million. C) lose $70 million. D) lose $77 million
Imagine that you work for the World Bank and you have been called to Ghana to aid the new president to come up with a new international trade strategy. You are told that the new government is interested in moving away from agriculture and into manufacturing. To do so, the government wants to pursuit a policy of import substitution industrialization (ISI). You are given a brief about Ghana highlighting the following points: About half of Ghana’s population depends on agriculture, but Ghana still imports some of its food. The majority of Ghana's people live in rural areas and exist on a subsistence way of life. Ghana has one of the highest rates of income inequality in the world. Nearly half of the population is employed in agriculture. Ghana imports and exports food from and to neighbouring Côte d'Ivoire. The latter nation is very similar to Ghana in most ways. Can you explain what may drive two very similar nations to trade?
Use the following table for Country X to answer the next question. Column 1 of the table is the world-market price of a product, Column 2 is the quantity demanded domestically (Qdd), and Column 3 is the quantity supplied domestically (Qsd).

According to the Heckscher-Ohlin model, free trade would lead to an equalization of wage rate internationally. Explain why we do not observe that result in the real world, where, for instance, there is great discrepancy in wage rate between developed and developing countries
