Suppose the domestic (American) soy market is described by: Qp = 600 – 25P Qs = 37.5P - 150 (The quantities are in tons and prices in $/ton.) There is a large world market with Pw = 16. For the purposes of this question assume the U.S. is a small country within this large, global soy market, even though that is not exactly true. How much soy does the U.S. export?. tons 18. (continued) Now suppose an export quota is imposed that limits exports to 125 tons. The point of this policy would be to limit the amount of wholesome soy leaving the country and effectively force Americans to use it. Let's figure out what it does in our trade model. What would be the new equilibrium price for soy in the U.S.? 19. (continued) How much soy would Americans consume at the new equilibrium price?

Question

Transcribed Image Text:17. Export quota. The U.S. is a net exporter of soy to the rest of the world, in part because most
Americans do not particularly like soy products like soy milk. Many people feel this is unfortunate as a
diet with more soy milk and less cow milk would probably improve our health. Perhaps some trade
policies could encourage people to eat more soy.
