In the following table, select the amount of each good that each country exports and imports in the boxes across the row marked "Trade Action," and Activity Frame enter each country's final consumption of each good on the line marked "Consumption." When the two countries did not specialize, the total production of pistachios was 23 million pounds per week, and the total production of chinos was 68 million pairs per week. Because of specialization, the total production of pistachios has increased by million pounds per week, and the total production of chinos has increased by million pairs per week. Because the two countries produce more pistachios and more chinos under specialization, each country is able to gain from trade. Calculate the gains from trade-that is, the amount by which each country has increased its consumption of each good relative to the first row of the table. In the following table, enter this difference in the boxes across the last row (marked "Increase in Consumption").

QUESTION 17 Consider two countries: Ireland and Belgium. Each country has 40 workers, each supplying 5 units of labour time each. The only goods in the world are chemicals and automobiles. The following table gives the amount of labour time required to make each good: Chemicals Automobiles Ireland 8 20 Belgium 10 If both countries are producing chemicals in a free trade equilibrium, the relative demand curve intersects the relative supply curve at what Pc/Pa? What is the world relative price of chemicals? is the free trade equilibrium is the world relative price of chemicals
The United States has historically imposed import tariffs on goods that include tobacco, canned tuna, steel, and aluminum. Suppose the market for tobacco is illustrated by the accompanying graph. a. As shown, the world price is $2 per pound. Suppose the U.S. imposes a tariff of $1 per pound. Adjust the price line labeled "World price with tariff" (at the top of the graph) to reflect this tariff. b. Use the letters and values in the graph to fill in the following table. Without tariff With import tariff Price Quantity demanded Quantity supplied Domestic consumer surplus Domestic producer surplus Government revenue Total economic surplus c. If the government decides to replace the tariff with a quota that will have the same effect on the market as the tariff, the quota should restrict imports to____________________( 1million pounds, 2 million…

from the image, can you help answer whether the trade action for Felicidad: jeans is import 18 or export 18, Felicidad: corn import 54 or export 54, and Contente: jeans import 18 or export 18 and Contente: corn import 54 or export 54.
Suppose that each country completely specializes in the production of the good in which it has a comparative advantage, producing only that good. In this case, the country that produces pistachios will produce. million pounds per day and the country that produces chinos will produce million pairs per day.
Suppose a large country A initially imposed a tariff on its imports and is now considering removing its tariff. Use a domestic-market graph to a) show the effect of country A’s tariff removal on the world’s price, country A’s import price, import quantity, consumer surplus, producer surplus, and government revenue. b) identify country A’s net welfare change as a result of its tariff removal. Is country A unambiguously better off? c) Use a different graph to show how foreign producers will be affected by country A’s tariff removal? d) What factor determines the level of optimal tariff for country A? Please make sure to graph fpr both parts "a" and "c"
3. Gains from trade Consider two neighboring island countries called Contente and Euphoria. They each have 4 million labor hours available per month that they can use to produce jeans, corn, or a combination of both. The following table shows the amount of jeans or corn that can be produced using 1 hour of labor. Jeans Corn Country (Pairs per hour of labor) (Bushels per hour of labor) Contente 16 Euphoria 20 Initially, suppose Contente uses 1 million hours of labor per month to produce jeans and 3 million hours per month to produce corn, while Euphoria uses 3 million hours of labor per month to produce jeans and 1 million hours per month to produce corn. Consequently, Contente produces 8 million pairs of jeans and 48 million bushels of corn, and Euphoria produces 15 million pairs of jeans and 20 million bushels of corn. Assume there are no other countries willing to trade goods, so, in the absence of trade between these two countries, each country consumes the amount of jeans and corn…
Price of Clothing 6. Imports and Exports When China's clothing industry expands, the increase in world supply lowers the world price of clothing. Consider the effects this has on both an importer and an exporter of clothing. Suppose the following graph represents the market for clothing in Cambodia prior to the expansion of China's clothing industry. Cambodia is an of clothing because the world price is the domestic equilibrium price. Note: You will have to use green points (triangle symbol) and purple points (diamond symbol) to shade the consumer and producer surplus areas on the following graphs. There are two green points and two purple points per graph. Use either one point of both to most accurately indicate the areas. For example, if indicating the consumer surplus requires only one green point, leave the second one on the palette. Use the green point (triangle symbol) to shade consumer surplus in Cambodia before China's clothing industry expands. Then use the purple point…
as firms and workers play to their comparative advantage, trade will also cause the average level of wages in an economy to Because trade raises Select the correct answer below: worker productivity; rise a country's exports; fall a country's imports; fall O quantity supplied of labor; rise
You are watching the nightly news. A political candidate being interviewed says, "I'm for free trade, but it must be fair trade. If our foreign competitors will not raise their environmental regulations, reduce subsidiaries to their export industries, and lower tariffs on their imports of our goods, we should retaliate with tariffs and import quotas on there goes to show them that we won't be played for fools!" A) If a foreign country artificially lowers the cost of production for its producers with lax environmental regulations and direct subsidiaries and then exports the products to us, who gains and who loses in our country, producers or consumers? B) Continuing form part A above, does our country gain or lose? Why? C) If a foreign country subsidizes the production of a good exported to the United States, who bears the burden of their mistaken policy? D) What happens to our overall economic well-being if we restrict trade with a country that subsidizes its export industries?…

Carefully define and explain the meaning of “equilibrium terms of trade” Ans: The equilibrium terms of trade occurs at a price ratio where the desired quantity of exports of good X and desired quantity of imports of commodity of good by one nation equals the desired quantity of imports by another nation for. I'm sure there's something wrong with the answer for the question. Could you please make it clear or change something in
