3. Gains from trade Suppose there exist two imaginary countries, Everglades and Denali. 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 Shorts Almonds (Pairs per hour of labor) (Pounds per hour of labor) Everglades 5 20 Denali 8 16 Suppose that initially Denali 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, Everglades produces 15 million pairs of shorts and 20 million pounds of almonds, and Denali produces 8 million pairs of shorts and 48 million pounds of almonds.

3. Trade creation and trade diversion Suppose that with free trade, the cost to the United States of importing a sweater from Mexico is $20.00, ard the cost of importing a sweater from China is $18.00. A sweater produced in the United States costs $25.00. Suppose further that before NAFTA, the United States maintained a tariff of 50% against all sveater imports. Then, under NAFTA, all tariffs between Mexico and the United States are removed, while the tariff against imports from China remains in effect. Assume that the tariff does not affect the world price of sweaters. In the following table, indicate which country the United States imported sweaters from before NAFTA. Then indicate which country the United States imported sweaters from under NAFTA. Check all that apply.
