In the following table, indicate whether each statement about regional trade agreements is true or false. Statement True False о Under regional trade agreements, several countries eliminate tariffs among themselves and lower tariffs against all other countries. Regional trade agreements are consistent with GATT's most favored nation principle. Each NAFTA member country keeps its own tariffs with the countries outside NAFTA. If China wants to sell a good to Canada, it can first export it to the United States, where the tariff is lower, and then ship it duty- free to Canada. Countries that enter into a free trade area agreement maintain a common schedule of tariffs with countries outside the agreement. Rules of origin are not needed in a customs union. O

Suppose Kenya is open to free trade in the world market for wheat. Because of Kenya's small size, the demand for and supply of wheat in Kenya do not affect the world price. The following graph shows the domestic wheat market in Kenya. The world price of wheat is Pw=$250 per ton. On the following graph, use the green triangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing consumer's surplus (CS) when the economy is at the free-trade equilibrium. Then, use the purple triangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing producers' surplus (PS). ?

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

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

President Trump via twitter on 11/29/2018: “Billions of Dollars are pouring into the coffers of the U.S.A. because of the Tariffs being charged to China, and there is a long way to go.

“The U.S. and Mexico can gain from trade with one another by taking advantage of the low cost of producing microchips in the U.S and the low cost of producing brooms in Mexico. The cost of producing one broom in U.S is 9 microchips. In Mexico the cost of producing a broom is only 1/9 microchips. If the U.S. produces microchips and imports brooms, and if Mexico produces brooms and imports microchips, both countries will gain from trade because they‟ll each produce the good they can produce more cheaply and import the good that the other country produces more cheaply. Note that the U.S. has an absolute advantage in the production of microchips while Mexico has an absolute advantage in the production of brooms.” In context of International Business and Trade the above example of US and Mexico focuses on absolute advantage. Explain the theory of absolute advantage and comparative advantage and also how nation states are competing to gain advantage over each other.
