Suppose a nation is considering two alternative policies to protect a domestic industry from world trade. The two policies are an import quota of Xunits and a per- unit tariff that would reduce imports to X units. Though either policy would result in only X imported units of this good, there is a fundamental difference in the outcome. Explain this difference.
A small country’s demand curve is given by Q=36-2P and its supply curve is given by Q=4P-12. Assume the world is currently in free trade and that the price under free trade is $4. What is the prohibitive specific import tariff for this economy (i.e. the tariff that would reduce net exports to zero)?Group of answer choices a.6 b.5 c.4 d.8
Price Pi P₂ S3 S₂ P2 Ꭰ Quantity What does S3 most likely represent? Multiple Choice ○ U.S. supply under quota-restricted trade ☐ the result of a foreign country dumping this good on the U.S. market ○ production possibilities under conditions of free trade U.S. supply under tariff-restricted trade
Consider a two country, two goods, one factor (labor) model of international trade. Suppose home country require 1 units of labor to produce a unit of cloth and 1 unit of labor to produce a unit of wine (regardless of output levels). Foreign country requires 2 unit of labor to produce 1 unit of cloth and 1.5 units of labor to produce 1 unit of wine (regardless of output levels). (a) Which country has the comparative advantage in producing wine? Justify your answer. (b) Which country has the absolute advantage in producing wine? (c) Which country will have higher autarky price of wine in terms of cloth?
A person or nation that has a comparative advantage in the production of a good, should A) Specialize in the production of that good B) Have the highest opportunity cost C) Not specialize in the production of that good D)Automatically has an absolute advantage
The United States and Canada have the production possibilities curves shown above. It is determined that the United States has the comparative advantage in peanuts. Will both nations gain from trade if the terms of trade that are offered are 1 Peanut= 3 Corn? Why or why not? Show your work.
1. Trade can happen at pre trade prices. True/False. Explain your answer theoretically and graphically. Also split trade gain into specialization gain and exchange gain.
Historical evidence suggests that, when technology matures and industrial production moves to countries with lower costs, products which in the past were exported will start being imported.The theory that foresaw this trade reversal goes under the name of:a. Factor endowment reversalb. Theory of overlapping demandc. Theory of product life cycled. Theory of dynamic comparative advantagee. None of the above
During the last 20 to 30 years, there have been a number of countries whose economies have experienced important economic expansion and development. One group of countries has been labeled the BRIC countries and the other the VISTA countries. Identify each of the nine countries and provide some insights about their economies and economic importance. The theories of absolute and comparative advantage have been offered as an economic rationale for trade between and among regions and countries. Compare and contrast the two concepts. Which of the two do you think is more important for explaining the growth in global trade during the last 25 years? Why”
While economic analysis shows that free trade increases consumption for all trading partners, criticism against free trade has been expressed by several policy makers and voters. Trade proponents emphasize the positive net benefits of trade, increasing the economic pie for each trading partner and benefiting each country as a whole. Critics point to the distributional effects of trade in primarily importing countries, benefiting consumers with lower prices and harming some producers. In the U.S. some manufacturing workers have been made worse off as their labor is demanded less. What is the best policy for the U.S. to follow to maximize the well-being of all U.S. workers? Explain your answer. Pull out of free trade agreements such as NAFTA that potentially harm U.S. manufacturing workers, in the hope that jobs in the manufacturing industries will return to the U.S. Impose tariffs on imported manufactured goods to protect domestic manufacturing jobs that will reemploy workers.
