The small happy Kingdom of Pollyanna does not trade with the rest of the world, but uses U.S dollars for its currency. Its domestic price of tofu is $1 per pound and the Kingdom produces and consumes 5 tons of tofu. The world price of tofu is just $0.50 per pound. At this price, the Kingdom would produce only 2 tons of tofu and would consume 8 tons of tofu, and thus have to import 6 tons of tofu. What is the deadweight loss in the tofu market associated with the Kingdom staying closed to trade? (Note: 1 ton = 2000 lbs.)

Suppose that one country (Country A) subsidizes its exports and the other country (Country B) imposes a "countervailing" tariff that offsets its effect, so that in the end relative prices in the second country are unchanged. What happens to the terms of trade? What about welfare in the two countries? O A. From Country A's perspective, world relative supply will increase and world relative demand will increase. This will improve its terms of trade. The countervailing tariff exacerbates this effect so Country A will definitely gain and Country B definitely loses. O B. From Country A's perspective, world relative supply will decrease and world relative demand will increase. This will improve its terms of trade. The countervailing tariff exacerbates this effect so Country A will definitely gain and Country B definitely loses. C. From Country A's perspective, world relative supply will decrease and world relative demand will increase. This will worsen its terms of trade. The countervailing…

In free trade, the world price of goods directly imported by China is 400 US dollars; the price of the key components of imported goods is 160 dollars. In order to protect domestic production, China has decided to impose 90 % tariff rate on imported goods and 60% tariff rate on key components of the goods. How much is the effective tariff protection rate(ERP) for the goods calculated by two methods respectively?
A small country imports T-shirts. With free trade at a world price of $10, domestic production is 10 million T-shirts and domestic consumption is 42 million T-shirts. The country's government now decides to impose a quota to limit T-shirt imports to 20 million per year. With the import quota in place, the domestic price rises to $12 per T- shirt and domestic production rises to 15 million T-shirts per year. The quota on T- shirts causes domestic consumers to A) gain $7 million. B) lose $7 million. C) lose $70 million. D) lose $77 million
How will future trade flows and the current deal be affected by the latest pandemic? Discuss some of the products that US/Chinese consumers might see increase in price and the producers who might gain or lose from the latest developments.
In the following table, select the amount of each good that each country exports and imports in the boxes across the row marked "Trade Action," and Activity Frame enter each country's final consumption of each good on the line marked "Consumption." When the two countries did not specialize, the total production of pistachios was 23 million pounds per week, and the total production of chinos was 68 million pairs per week. Because of specialization, the total production of pistachios has increased by million pounds per week, and the total production of chinos has increased by million pairs per week. Because the two countries produce more pistachios and more chinos under specialization, each country is able to gain from trade. Calculate the gains from trade-that is, the amount by which each country has increased its consumption of each good relative to the first row of the table. In the following table, enter this difference in the boxes across the last row (marked "Increase in…
