S=20+20P and D = 100-20P are Home's supply and demand curves for wheat. * S = 40 + 20P and D = 80-20P are Foreign's supply and demand curves for wheat. With free trade the price of wheat is $ (Enter your response rounded to the nearest penny.) Suppose home imposes a specific tariff of $0.50 on wheat. Home consumers will now pay $ and foreign's export price is $ (Round your responses rounded to the nearest penny.) Now assume that foreign is a much larger country. Specifically, Foreign's demand curve for wheat is D = 800-200P. Its supply curve is S = 400 + 200P. * With free trade the price of wheat is $ (Round your response rounded to the nearest penny.) Suppose Home imposes a specific tariff of $0.50 on wheat. Home consumers will now pay $ (Round your response rounded to the nearest penny.) $ In which case does the tariff create the greatest terms of trade gains? When Home is and foreign's export price is

When NAFTA was being debated in the U.S. Congress, Representative Jerry Lewis of California said: “Bill Johnson owns the largest Caterpillar distributorship in the West. There is currently a 20% tariff on his products sold in Mexico. Caterpillar has a 50 percent share of the Mexican market. The other half is dominated by Komatsu Company of Japan. Bill says, 'Imagine what will happen when the 20 percent tariff comes off our tractors and it remains on the ones from Japan.' Under what circumstances will this effect of NAFTA be beneficial, and when will it be harmful, to (i) the U.S., (ii) Mexico, and (iii) Japan?
Suppose there are three countries, the EU, Mexico, and Asia, in the world and the EU imports electronics from either Mexico or Asia (or both). Assume that Mexico is a small supplier and Asia is a large supplier and the free-trade prices of electronics from Mexico and Asia are PMEXICO=$1,200 and PASIA=$1,000, respectively, and the EU initially imposes a 15% tariff on both Mexico and Asia. Now the EU forms an FTA with Mexico. Use a graph of import demand and export supply curves to show the impact of this FTA on EU’s consumer surplus, government revenue, and welfare. Is the EU better off or worse off with the FTA? In the above graph, identify the effect of the FTA on Mexico’s producer surplus. Suppose after the FTA with the EU, Mexico invests in its electronics industry and lowers its marginal cost such that its free-trade price is PMEXICO=$1,100. How would the graph and the answer in parts (a) and (b) change?

The United States imports a lot of cars, despite having its own auto industry. 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. Allowing foreign electric vehicle manufacturers…

Question: What are the explanations and advantages of free trade that the new theories of international trade give? The international monopoly of the drone market is held by an American firm. Its average production cost is given by the following function: CME = (5000-3Q) / 10 China is considering setting up a firm with the average cost function: CMC = (3500 - 3Q) / 10 The international request is written: DM = 1000 - p and the only Chinese request is written: DC = 500– 0.5 p A. Characterize the equilibrium in a monopoly situation when the American firm is alone in the world market. B. Describe the equilibrium in the event that China sets up a drone production industry (assume that Chinese production remains modest - close to 0 - in the event of entry). C. What policy would improve the balance for China and for the world as a whole, if the United States were excluded? Characterize this balance. Explain and comment. D. Represent all the equilibrium situations on a single graph.
