From an economic point of view, India and China are somewhat similar: Both are huge, low-wage countries, probably with similar patterns of comparative advantage, which until recently were relatively closed to international trade. China was the first to open up. Now that India is also opening up to world trade, how would you expect this to affect the welfare of China? Of the United States? (Hint: Think of adding a new economy identical to that of China to the world economy.) A. From China's perspective, the world relative supply curve will shift to the left. This shift will improve China's terms of trade. The U.S. purchases of Chinese exports will hurt the U.S. by decreasing the relative price of goods that the U.S. exports. B. From China's perspective, the world relative supply curve will shift to the right. This shift will worsen China's terms of trade. The U.S. purchase of Chinese exports will benefit the U.S. by increasing the relative price of goods that the U.S. exports. C. From…
Topic 3 Assignment The following graph shows the domestic supply of and demand for maize in Bangladesh. Bangladesh is open to international trade of maize without any restrictions. The world price (Pw) of maize is $245 per ton and is represented by the horizontal black line. Throughout this problem, 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. Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph. Note: Once you enter a value in a white field, the graph and any corresponding amounts in each grey field will change accordingly. 470 Supply 420 305 X I I Demand I PRICE (Dollars perton) 445 245 720 D P W 40 80 120 150 200 240 280 320 350…

Each of the following statements are arguments some people could make for restricting imports of cars into the United States. For each statement, identify the threat to the U.S. industry that the argument is trying to counter, and identify the opportunities that would be given up if the argument wins. SELECT THE CORRECT ANSWER a. “Foreign manufacturers are offloading their cheap cars onto the U.S. market. We should stop this so that consumers have access to higher-quality U.S. cars.” -National security requires that strategically important goods be produced domestically. -Protection can help infant industries develop. -Foreign competition may lead to job losses. -Anti-dumping laws prevent unfair competition. -Trade should not enable foreign firms to skirt U.S. regulations. b. “We must foster the innovation of small car companies, like Tesla.

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…
