Consider the following model of trade between Home and Foreign. Assume throughout that those two countries are the only two countries in the world, at least for purposes of trade. There are two goods: Corn and Radio. Consumers always spend one-third of their income on Corn and the remainder on Radios. The only factor of production is labour. Each home country worker can produce 2 units of Corn or 3 units of Radios per unit of time, while each foreign worker can produce 2 units of Corn or 4 units of Radios per unit of time. There are 30 workers in Home and 60 workers in Foreign. Which country has a comparative advantage in Radios? In Corn?

SCENARIO A: Estonia, a net importer of sugar, imposes a tariff on sugar. The following table provides the hypothetical information to Estonia's imports, consumption, and production of sugar following the tariff introduction. Without Tariff (free With Tariff trade) World price $12 $12 ($/pound) Domestic price $12 $15 ($/pound) Domestic Consumption 1500 1000 (million pounds/year) Domestic Production 100 300 (million pounds/year) Calculate the net welfare effect of the tariff introduction. Is Estonia better off or worse off?
Consider two countries, Home and Foreign. In the figure below, the import demand ("IDHome") curve depicts Home's demand for Foreign's flash drives, and the import supply curve ("ISForeign") depicts Foreign's supply of flash drives to Home. Assume Home is a "large" country that levies a tariff against Foreign imports of flash drives, thereby shifting the relevant supply curve from ISForeign to ISForeign +t. For the following questions, please refer to the figure below.

With a tariff of $ 12 per flash drive, Home's consumer surplus equals $72, Foreign's producer surplus equals $ 36, Home's tariff revenue equals $72, and Home's deadweight loss equals $45. Of the Home's tariff revenue, $36 comes from Foreign's producers, and the rest comes from Home's consumers.…
Which of the following best explains the concept of "Comparative Advantage" in international trade? a) A country should produce goods in which it has an absolute advantage and trade for those where it does not. b) A country should only export goods and import nothing to maintain a positive trade balance. c) A country should specialize in the production of goods for which it has the lowest opportunity cost compared to other countries. d) A country should diversify its production across various sectors to avoid dependence on a single export commodity.
Suppose Colombia is open to free trade in the world market for soybeans. Because of Colombia’s small size, the demand for and supply of soybeans in Colombia do not affect the world price. The following graph shows the domestic soybeans market in Colombia. The world price of soybeans is PW=$400 per ton.
China placed tariffs on the importation of US soybeans. Assume that the domestic market for soybeans in China is described by the following equations: Demand: P = 11.5 – Q Supply: P = 5.5 + Q Price is in 10 Yuan (¥) per bushel of soybeans and the units for Quantity are 100 million bushels per year. This is to make graphing simpler. This does NOT mean that the price is 10 and quantity is 100. Rather it means that if the price was 40¥ and the quantity was 7,500,000,000 bushels, this would plot as 4 and 7.5 respectively. The world price for soybeans is ¥65/bushel (this would graph as a horizontal line at 6.5). Graph the soybean market in China showing equilibrium both with no barriers to trade and with a ¥15/bushel tariff. Be sure to fully and clearly label the graph including: Domestic Demand curve (D), Domestic Supply curve (S), the World Price (WP), and the Price with tariffs (PT), along with the quantities imported both with and without the tariff. Based on your graph, what…
[India is the world’s largest consumer of sugar. Assume the world price for sugar is $750 per ton.] [Assume India currently has a tariff of $50 per ton on sugar and imports 7 million tons of sugar. Show this situation in a graph. Label the quantity demanded and the quantity supplied domestically and imports clearly on a graph. Explain your graph in 3-4 sentences. How to draw the graph?
Given the information as follows: Consider the following model of trade between Vietnam and France. Assume throughout that those two countries are the only two countries in the world, at least for purposes of trade. There are two goods: Rice and Beef. Consumers always spend 1/4 of their income on rice and the remainder on beef. The only factor of production is labor. Each Vietnamese worker can produce 2 unit of Rice or 1 unit of beef per unit of time, while each French worker can produce 1 units of rice or 3 units of beef per unit of time. There are 100 million workers in Vietnam and 70 million in France. a. Determine the product brings higher wealth to each country. b. Determine the pattern of trade for both countries using Ricardian model. Draw the world relative supply curve. c. What is the benefit of each country when joining international trade following Ricardian model? Draw the graph to clarify your idea.
The following graph shows the domestic supply of and demand for maize in Burundi. The world price (Pw) of maize is $270 per ton and is represented by the horizontal black line. Throughout the question, 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. 450 Domestic Demand Domestic Supply 430 410 390 370 350 330 310 290 P 270 250 40 80 120 180 200 240 280 320 360 400 QUANTITY (Tons of maize) If Burundi is open to international trade in maize without any restrictions, it will import tons of maize. Suppose the Burundian government wants to reduce imports to exactly 160 tons of maize to help domestic producers. A tariff of per ton will achieve this. A tariff set at this level would raise $ in revenue for the…
