Market demand for steel in Econland is given by the domestic demand function of QD-40-4P. The domestic supply of steel is given by QS-P. P is the price of steel per gram. For years, Econland has not traded with the world in the steel market. However, a new president has taken office, and she decides to open up trade agreements with the rest of the world. The world price of steel is $4 per gram. By how much do Producer, Consumer and Total Surplus change? PS decreases by 24. CS decreases by 64. Total surplus decreases by 88. PS decreases by 24. CS increases by 64. Total surplus increases by 40. PS increases by 32. CS increases by 8. Total surplus increases by 40 PS decreases by 32. CS increases by 8. Total surplus decreases by 26 None of the above

Price P1 D 01 Quantity The graph above shows domestic supply and demand with trade in a SMALL country. With trade, this country can purchase at the world price, Pw. Suppose that this country imposes a $5 per unit tariff on this good. Which of the following is true? O There will not be deadweight losses due to this tariff, since it is a small country. The domestic price will rise by $5. O Consumers will be better off. Producers will not increase domestic production.
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

4. A graphical comparison of tariffs and quotas Alagir and Ertil are small countries that protect their economic growth from rapidly advancing globalization by limiting the import of rugs to 20 million. To this end, each country imposes a different type of trade barrier when the world price (Pw) is $3,000. In Alagir, the government decides to impose a tariff of $2,000 per rug; in Ertil, the government implements a quota of 20 million rugs. Assume that Alagir and Ertil have identical domestic demand (Do) and supply (S) curves for rugs as shown on the following graph. Under these conditions, the price of rugs is $5,000 per rug in each country.

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…
What will a tariff and an import quota do to the quantity of imports and the domestic price? reduce the quantity of imports and lower domestic price increase the quantity of imports and raise domestic price increase the quantity of imports and lower domestic price reduce the quantity of imports and raise domestic price
Suppose you have the following for white t-shirts market:Market demand is P=125-(3/8)QMarket supply is P=5+(1/8)Q. Suppose it is now possible to obtain white t-shirts from the rest of the world at $15 per item at anygiven quantity. In other words, there is now a global supply that is horizontal at $15.a. Obviously the world price and domestic price will now be $15. Calculate the quantityproduced and demanded domestically. Calculate the difference as imports from the rest of theworld.b. Calculate the CS (Consumer Surplus) and PS (Producer Surplus) under free trade. Who gainswith free trade? Who loses?Hint: Use graphs first.
THE SHRINKING STEEL INDUSTRY Few industries have been harder hit by rising imports – and have made greater demands at the political level – than the steel industry. Its persistence apparently paid off when, in March 2002, George W. Bush agreed to impose a tariff of up to 30% on steel imports. The steel industry claimed that was barely enough to offset the combination of a stronger dollar and ‘‘dumping’’ by steel companies around the world because of a glut of excess capacity. It also requested, but did not receive, money from the government to pay the retirement and healthcare benefits for those pensioners who had received generous benefits when the industry was profitable. Without jettisoning this cost, the industry claimed, it could not consolidate and hence become competitive against worldwide competition. The positive impacts of such a move to employers and shareholders of the steel industry are obvious. But what about the negative impacts?…
