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. Balance of payments and the foreign exchange marketThe following graph shows the market for euros, which is initially in equilibrium. Suppose an economic expansion in Canada leads to an increase in theincomes of Canadian households, causing imports from Europe to rise.On the graph, illustrate the effect of an economic expansion on the market for euros by shifting the appropriate curve or curves.Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position.

4. Specialization and trade When a country has a comparative advantage in the production of a good, it means that it can produce this good at a lower opportunity cost than its trading partner. Then the country will specialize in the production of this good and trade it for other goods. The following graphs show the production possibilities frontiers (PPFS) for Yosemite and Denali. Both countries produce peas and pistachios, each initially (i.e., before specialization and trade) producing 24 million pounds of peas and 12 million pounds of pistachios, as indicated by the grey stars marked with the letter A.

Consider a small country that exports steel. Suppose the following graph depicts the domestic demand and supply for steel in this country. One of the two price lines represents the world price of steel. Use the following graph to help you answer the questions below. You will not be graded on any changes made to this graph. Because this country exports steel, the world price is represented by ________ . Suppose that a “pro-trade” government decides to subsidize the export of steel by paying $10 for each ton sold abroad. With this export subsidy, the price paid by domestic consumers is _________ per ton, and the price received by domestic producers is ___________ per ton. The quantity of steel consumed by domestic consumers _______ , the quantity of steel produced by domestic producers ______ , and the quantity of steel exported ________ . True or False: With the export subsidy, domestic producers will sell steel to domestic consumers and sell the rest…
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?
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)?
Suppose that there are 10 workers in each country and real GDP includes just televisions and cell phones. The U.S. produces 40 cell phones and 30 televisions, while South Korea produces 20 cell phones and 15 televisions. The two countries decide to specialize in the production of just one good based on the comparative advantage and trade the goods each other. They want to sell only excess of the units of the good they produced initially. Please draws the post-trade Production Possibility Set and mark the all combination output at pre and post trade equilibrium. What is the gains from trade for each country? (Exchange ratio in the market: 1 television = 3 cell phones)
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…

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. Briefly describe the paradoxii.We discussed several explanations for the paradoxical result in class. Briefly describe two explanations. Inequality…
