Which of the below statements does NOT reflect the ideas of Trade and Globalization. In short, with which of the below statements, in one form or the other, DOES NOT match the ideas expressed? Group of answer choices Trade is a zero-sum game. If trade is good for the industrially advanced countries in western Europe and the U.S. it must be bad for the poorer countries in the world. In the late 1970s a major profit-seeking Korean textile producertrying to avoid quotas imposed by Europe and the U.S. upon South Korea, contracted out the production of shirts to a Bangladeshi garment producer. To ensure that the shirts produced would be of global quality the Korean company trained the Bangladeshi workers -thus creating human capital. In recent years, though Bangladesh is still one of the poorer countries in the world, it has also emerged as one of the world's leading garment producers. Cheap exports were the path to prosperity for many Asian economies such as Japan, Singapore,…

Economic thinking suggests that a nation in which middlemen are considered to be unproductive seekers of profit, and where their activities are heavily restricted by law, will a. gain by channeling people's efforts away from unproductive middleman activity toward physical output. b. lose the potential gains from trade that would result from lower transaction costs emanating from middleman activities. c. find that it is richer because the added transaction costs normally imposed by middlemen will be reduced. d. gain because the value of total output will rise.
Suppose that China and the US are considering international trade policies to either liberalise (i.e. open) or restrict (i.e. close) their import markets. Gains from trade for each country (in $bn) are given in the payoff matrix below: USA Close Оpen Close 3, 2 12, 8 China Орen 10, - 80 35, 20 a) Suppose that each nation knows the payoff matrix shown above, and believes that the other country will choose rationally (to maximise its own welfare): Does either country have a dominant strategy? Explain. ii. i. Is there any Nash equilibrium in this game? Explain. b) Now suppose that China is uncertain that the US will choose rationally. Specifically, China is concerned that President Grump and other like-minded US politicians may want to penalise China, even if it not in the US's best interest to do so. How might this concern affect China's choice of policy-strategy? How might this change the equilibrium? Explain.
!!! I need help with drawing graphs too !!! 1. Export Subsidies (under perfect competition) in a small countrya. For a small country, is the logic for why export subsidies provide negative gainsdifferent than the logic for why import tariffs provide negative gains? Explain2. Airbus and Boeing problem again. Suppose Boeing is more efficient at making airplanesthan Airbus. Starting from slide 33, Figure 10-9, let’s change the payoff matrix, so that if Boeingand Airbus both produce, Boeing gets +5, instead of -5. And, if Boeing produces, and Airbusdoes not produce, Boeing gets +125 instead of +100. Will there be a unique equilibrium in thiscase?

How did the U.S. emerge from World War Il as a superpower? O. Although the U.S. entered World War II late, it fought in two theatres, providing it with the largest footprint of any country during the war. And because combat did not occur on U.S. soil (with Pearl Harbor the exception), the U.S. emerged relatively unscathed. Growing tensions with the USSR over postwar borders made cetain that the United States would not retreat into isolationism after the war while the development of the atomic bomb cemented its place as the strongest military power on Earth. O. Because the U.S. entered the war late, it was more refreshed than any other country and was therefore able to engage in a swift and powerful offensive against the Nazis. FDR called for an invasion of Normandy within 6 months of joining the war and within less than a year had pushed Hitler's troops back to the Rhine. When American troops marched into Berlin, the Soviets were still defending Russia. Therefore, the U.S. came…

Suppose the domestic industry is a Monopoly, with which commercial policy instrument ( quota or tariff? - assuming both of them yields the same level of imports- ) would it prefer to be protected and why?
