Q3: Using a domestic-market demand- and supply-curve graph, show the impact of tariff on a small country's import price, domestic demand, domestic supply, import quantity, consumer surplus, producer surplus, government revenue, and total welfare; Is the country unambiguously worse off as a result of the tariff? In the same graph, show how to achieve the same import quantity with an import quota; When would the tariff and the import quota lead to the same amount of welfare change? How will the answer to (a) and (b) change if the country uses a subsidy that is equivalent to the tariff rate to help domestic producers? How would the answers to (a) and (b) change for a large country? Your answer:
Consider a small country that exports steel. Suppose that a “pro-trade” government decides to subsidize the export of steel by paying a certain amount for each ton sold abroad. How does this export subsidy (similar to a tariff) affect the domestic price of steel, the quantity of steel produced, the quantity of steel consumed, and the quantity of steel exported? How does it affect consumer surplus, producer surplus, and government revenue? Is it is a good policy from the standpoint of economic efficiency?

The following graph shows the domestic supply of and demand for maize in Bangladesh. The world price (Pw) of maize is $255 per ton and is represented by the horizontal black line. Throughout the question, assume that the amount demanded by any one country does not affect the world price of maize and that there are no transportation or transaction costs associated with international trade in maize. Also, assume that domestic suppliers will satisfy domestic demand as much as possible before any exporting or importing takes place. 455 Domestic Demand Domestic Supply 430 405 380 355 330 305 280 Pw 255 230 205 200 250 300 350 400 450 500 QUANTITY (Tons of maize) If Bangladesh is open to international trade in maize without any restrictions, it will import 300 tons of maize. Suppose the Bangladeshi government wants to reduce imports to exactly 100 tons of maize to help domestic producers. A tariff of $ per ton will achieve this. A tariff set at this level would raise $ in revenue for the…

Suppose that Supply is given by: Q = -4 + 1p And demand is also given by: Q = 60 - 0.5p Suppose that this is a small, open economy, and is therefore engaging in international trade and taking the world price as given. The world price is $8. Currently, it is an importer of the good in question. Suppose that the government imposes an import quota of 7 units. What will be the domestic price for local consumers? Note: round your answer to two decimal places.
