On the previous graph, use the purple point (diamond symbol) to indicate the new equilibrium exchange rate and quantity under a system of flexibleexchange rates.Under a system of flexible exchange rates, the dollar will appreciate until the foreign exchange market reaches an equilibrium exchange rate of$1 per euroNow suppose that Canada wants to maintain the initial equilibrium exchange rate of $1 per euro.On the previous graph, use a grey point (star symbol) to indicate the new equilibrium under a system of fixed exchange rates.Under a system of fixed exchange rates, which of the following policies could the Canadian government use to prevent the change in demand for eurosfrom driving the exchange rate to the new equilibrium? Check all that apply.✓ Reduce income taxes in Canada✓ Place import restrictions on European goodsLower interest rates by way of monetary policy 5.

Suppose that a worker in Country A can produce either 6 units of corn or 2 units of wheat per year, and a worker in Country B can produce either 2 units of corn or 6 units of wheat per year. Each nation has 10 workers. Without trade, Country A produces and consumes 30 units of corn and 10 units of wheat per year. Country B produces and consumes 10 units of corn and 30 units of wheat. Suppose that trade is then initiated between the two countries, and Country A sends 30 units of corn to Country B in exchange for 30 units of wheat. Country A will now be able to consume a maximum of Select one: a.30 units of corn and 30 units of wheat. b.40 units of corn and 20 units of wheat. c.40 units of corn and 30 units of wheat. d.10 units of corn and 40 units of wheat.
Consider a simple exchange economy with two people: Bob and Jake. Bob and Jake both have 10 hours of time available. They can use their time to do one of 2 things: make pancakes or make hamburgers. Bob can make 2 hamburgers in an hour or 1 pancake in an hour. Jake can make 3 pancakes in an hour and 2 hamburgers in an hour. Use this information to answer the following question: Who has comparative advantage in the production of hamburgers and who has comparative advantage in the production of pancakes?

According to the foreign trade effect, when the price of American-made cars falls, U.S. consumers are likely to buy: More American-made cars. More foreign-made cars. Fewer total cars. More foreign-made cars
What is the trade balance between the U.S. and China from 2018 to 2020?Graph the year and trade balance (exports – imports) using year for horizontal axis and trade balance for vertical axis. What is the difference between absolute advantage and comparative advantage? Which among these 2 concepts is the basis of trade? Suppose that an American worker can produce 1000 shirts or 200 computers, while a Chinese worker can produce 1000 shirts or 100 computers.In the US, what is the opportunity cost of producing an additional shirt (measured in terms of foregone computers)?
The U.S. economy relies heavily on international trade. Choose two transactions at random that result from international trade; one where purchases are made from another country and one where the U.S. sends a product to another country. Identify the impact of each of these on imports, exports, net imports, and net exports at the time the transaction takes place. For example, if you purchase a product online that is made in and shipped from Italy to you in the United States what is the effect on the U.S. economy in these four categories at the time of the transaction? In addition, there has been a lot of news in recent years surrounding tariffs. Exactly what is a tariff and what is the impact of tariffs on international trade? Who pays the cost of tarffs?
3. Gains from trade Suppose there exist two imaginary countries, Glacier and Everglades. Their labor forces are each capable of supplying four million hours per week that can be used to produce shorts, almonds, or some combination of the two. The following table shows the amount of shorts or almonds that can be produced by one hour of labor. Country Glacier Everglades Shorts Almonds (Pairs per hour of labor) (Pounds per hour of labor) 8 16 5 20 Suppose that initially Glacier uses 1 million hours of labor per week to produce shorts and 3 million hours per week to produce almonds, while Everglades uses 3 million hours of labor per week to produce shorts and 1 million hours per week to produce almonds. As a result, Glacier produces 8 million pairs of shorts and 48 million pounds of almonds, and Everglades produces 15 million pairs of shorts and 20 million pounds of almonds. Assume there are no other countries willing to engage in trade, so, in the absence of trade between these two…
Suppose that the U.S. increases its tariffs on all imported goods. Obviously, this will have an impact on the amount of U.S. imports. What indirect effect will this have on U.S. exports – and why?
[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?
1) Suppose the U.S. government wants to stop importing foreign cars. They believe by not importing cars from other countries they will have absolute advantage in manufacturing cars, and this will help the U.S. economy. Explain what is wrong with this idea. Use a graph to illustrate your point.
In the Heckscher-Ohlin model, suppose the two factors of production are: high-skilled labor (H) and regular labor (L). The two sectors are manufacturing and business services. Manufacturing uses regular labor more intensively, and business services uses high-skilled labor more intensively. The two countries are the U.S. and China, and the U.S. has a comparative advantage in business services. a. Illustrate the effect of opening up to trade on the U.S. with the PPF and indifference curve diagram. Make sure you clearly label everything. What happens to the relative price of business services in the U.S.? Show clearly the gains from trade. b. What happens to the relative wage of high-skilled labor? Does inequality (the skill premium) increase? Show all work and explain. 2. Evidence for or against Heckscher-Ohlin model Leontieff Paradox i.

Consider two neighboring island countries called Contente and Felicidad. They each have 4 million labor hours available per month 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. Jeans Rye Country (Pairs per hour of labor) (Bushels per hour of labor) Contente 12 24 Felicidad 8 32 Initially, suppose Contente uses 1 million hours of labor per month to produce jeans and 3 million hours per month to produce rye, while Felicidad uses 3 million hours of labor per month to produce jeans and 1 million hours per month to produce rye. Consequently, Contente produces 12 million pairs of jeans and 72 million bushels of rye, and Felicidad produces 24 million pairs of jeans and 32 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.…
