e. Suppose the policy makers in the newly opened economy are concerned about the welfare of computer producers. Hence, they decide to impose a 30% tariff (a tax on imports) on imported computers. Show the price of computers in the newly opened economy after the tariff is imposed. Show the consumer surplus, producer surplus, equilibrium price and quantity traded after the tariff is imposed. Also make sure to show the government's tariff revenue. f.In this newly opened economy, who benefited from the tariff? The consumers, the producers, the government? QUESTION 3 a. What are some arguments discussed in your textbook for opening up to international trade? b. What are some arguments discussed in your textbook for restricting free trade?
The U.S. is an importer of ethanol, and let’s assume they are a price-taker in the world market. Suppose that a technological advance in ethanol production in Brazil, the world’s largest exporter, drives down the world price of ethanol by $5. Draw a graph and explain how this change in world price affects consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus in the U.S. market. Now suppose the U.S. government institutes an import tariff of $5 in response to the fall in the world price. On your graph label the revenue raised by the tariff and the deadweight loss created (if it exists). Who is likely to support this policy? Suppose that the fall in price is attributable not to a technological advance but to a subsidy from the Brazilian government to Brazilian ethanol producers. How would this affect your analysis?
7. For many years, various groups have accused China of "dumping" exports onto the US market. That is, they claim that the Chinese government subsidizes Chinese exporting firms to allow them to sell at lower prices than US firms and/or lower than sellers from other countries. Some trade policy analysts argue that the US is harmed by this dumping behavior and that the US should impose restrictions on imports from China. Use a supply and demand diagram to assess this argument. Do you agree with the argument made and policy prescribed by the trade analysts?
1. Gains from trade Consider two neighboring island countries called Dolorium and Contente. They each have 4 million labor hours available per week that they can use to produce jeans, rye, or a combination of both. The following table shows the amount of jeans or rye that can be produced using 1 hour of labor. Country Dolorium Contente Jeans Rye (Pairs per hour of labor) (Bushels per hour of labor) 20 16 Initially, suppose Contente uses 1 million hours of labor per week to produce jeans and 3 million hours per week to produce rye, while Dolorium uses 3 million hours of labor per week to produce jeans and 1 million hours per week to produce rye. Consequently, Dolorium produces 15 million pairs of jeans and 20 million bushels of rye, and Contente produces 8 million pairs of jeans and 48 million bushels of rye. Assume there are no other countries willing to trade goods, so, in the absence of trade between these two countries, each country consumes the amount of jeans and rye it produces.…
