Should the Trade Embargo on Cuba Be Lifted? Three years after Fidel Castro took power in Cuba and installed a Communist regime, the U.S. government initiated a trade embargo against the nation. The embargo was intended to put economic pressure on the Cuban government. Today the embargo is still in effect— one of the longest trade embargos in modern history. Opponents on each side of the issue debate its effectiveness. Who is right? As you read the selections, ask yourself: Should the trade embargo on Cuba be lifted or remain in place? PRO A HALF-CENTURY OF FAILURE For almost half a century, the U.S. government has tried to isolate Cuba economically in an effort to undermine the [Communist] regime [of Fidel Castro] and deprive it of resources. Since 1960, Americans have been barred from trading with, investing in, or traveling to Cuba. . . . As a foreign policy tool, the embargo actually enhances Castro’s standing by giving him a handy excuse for the failures of his…
The following graph shows the domestic supply of and demand for wheat in Bangladesh. The world price (Pw) of wheat is $245 per bushel 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 wheat and that there are no transportation or transaction costs associated with international trade in wheat. Also, assume that domestic suppliers will satisfy domestic demand as much as possible before any exporting or importing takes place. 515 Domestic Demand Domestic Supply 485 455 425 395 365 + 335 305 275 P W 245 215 10 20 30 40 50 80 70 80 90 100 QUANTITY (Bushels of wheat) PRICE (Dollars per bushel)
Which of the following describe technical barrier to trade? Select all that apply. Government controls imposed on the flow of capital into or out of the country ☐ Two prospective trading partners being very distant from one another O Trading partners struggling to made trade deals because of the inability to communicate seamlessly and effectively ☐ Imposition by a country of a numerical limit on how much sugar can be imported under a low tariff ☐ Agricultural subsidies provided by the U.S. government to corn farmers Two countries agreeing to eliminate all tariffs on goods traded between them
US imports of sugar are subject to a quota. Although rounded up, the figures used in this exercise are close to reality. Thanks to the quota, US production of sugar is 6 million ton/year, instead of 5 million without the quota, and US consumption of sugar is 8 million ton/year, instead of 9 million without the quota. The US consumer pays $480/ton, whereas the world price is $280/ton. a) Easy: What is the volume of the quota? b) Easy: Why is the US price higher with the quota? c) Medium: Can you plot US supply and demand curves? Show graphically the impact of the quota for consumers and producers.
The following graph shows the domestic supply of and demand for maize in Burundi. The world price (Pw) of maize is $270 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. 450 Domestic Demand Domestic Supply 430 410 390 370 350 330 310 290 P 270 250 40 80 120 180 200 240 280 320 360 400 QUANTITY (Tons of maize) If Burundi is open to international trade in maize without any restrictions, it will import tons of maize. Suppose the Burundian government wants to reduce imports to exactly 160 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…
Kazakhstan is an apple producer, as well as an importer of apples. Suppose the following graph shows Kazakhstan's domestic market for apples, where Sx is the supply curve and Dx is the demand curve. The free trade world price of apples (Pw) is $200 per ton. Suppose Kazakhstan's government restricts imports of apples to 120,000 tons. The world price of apples is not affected by the quota. Analyze the effects of the quota on Kazakhstan's welfare. On the following graph, use the purple line (diamond symbol) to draw the Kazakhstan's supply curve including the quota SK+Q. (Hint: Draw this as a straight line even though this curve should be equivalent to the domestic supply curve below the world price.) Then use the grey line (star symbol) to indicate the new price of apples with a quota of 120,000 apples.

Assume that the weekly domestic demand for petroleum is represented by the equation: P= -2.25Q + 600. And, the weekly domestic supply of petroleum is represented by the equation: P= 1.5Q + 25. Assume also, that the world price of petroleum is $200. What is the domestic autarky price and quantity when this economy is closed to trade? What would be the total quantity of petroleum demanded when the economy is open to international trade? What would be the volume of imports when the economy is open to trade? What is the import dependency ratio in this economy when it is open for international trade in petroleum?
The figure below shows the domestic supply and demand demand for shoes. As labeled, the no-trade domestic equilibrium occurs at a price of $80 per pair of shoes. If international trade is permitted, the world supply price is labeled at $60 per pair of shoes. P P₁ = $80- P = $60 S 1,000 1,200 1,300 Number of shoes D Suppose the cost of domestic production decreases so that the new equilibrium domestic price of a pair of shoes is $70. As a result, which of the following is true? a. The number of pairs of shoes exported from the country increases b. The number of pairs of shoes exported from the country decreases C. The number of pairs of shoes imported into the country decreases d. The number of pairs of shoes imported into the country increases
Argentina and Brazil are considering the potential gains of trade. There is only one factor of production: labor. There are only two goods being produced in either economy: coffee and wine. Argentina can employ 10,000 hours of labor per month. Producing 1 lb. of coffee requires 2 hours of labor, and producing 1 bottle of wine requires 4 hours of labor, in Argentina. Similarly, Brazil can employ 10,000 hours of labor per month. Producing 1 lb. of coffee requires 1 hour of labor, and producing 1 bottle of wine requires 5 hours of labor, in Brazil. A). Which country has an absolute advantage in the production of coffee? B). Which country has an absolute advantage in the production of wine? C). Draw the Production Possibilities Frontier for the two countries.
Which organization meets regularly to establish rules and settle disputes related to international trade? The United Nations Commission on Trade Law The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development The World Trade Organization The Federal Reserve Board U.S. businesses are demanders of foreign currencies because they need them to produce goods and services exported to foreign countries pay for goods and services imported from foreign countries receive interest payments from foreign governments receive interest payments from foreign businesses.
Consider an economy that used to operate in free trade, with total market surplus of $120 million. As a result of the application of a tariff (tax on imports), the economy experiences deadweight loss of $8 million. That means that total market surplus for this nation is now $ million. Enter only a number and decimal point/negative sign as needed. Round your answer to two decimal places as necessary. Notice that the answer is in terms of millions, so if you think total market surplus is now 999 million (999,000,000), enter only 999 in the blank.
Assume that Canada is an importer of televisions and that there are no trade restrictions. Canadian consumers buy 1.2 million televisions per year, of which 600,000 are produced domestically and 600,000 are imported. Suppose that a technological advance among Japanese television manufacturers causes the world price to fall $800 to $700. Draw a graph to show how this change affects the welfare of Canadian consumers and Canadian producers and how it affects total surplus in Canada. Label the diagram carefully to show all the areas using letters of alphabets. (Do not shade the areas). After the fall in price, consumers buy 1.4 million televisions, of which 400,000 are produced domestically and 1 million are imported. Calculate the change (this will be only the area either gained or lost by consumers and producers) in consumer surplus, producer surplus and total surplus due to price reduction. Provide numerical answers by calculating the area of change in surplus due to fall in…
