3. Welfare effects of a tariff in a small country Suppose Bolivia is open to free trade in the world market for wheat. Because of Bolivia's small size, the demand for and supply of wheat in Bolivia do not affect the world price. The following graph shows the domestic wheat market in Bolivia. The world price of wheat is Pw = $250 per ton. On the following graph, use the green triangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing consumer surplus (CS) when the economy is at the free-trade equilibrium. Then, use the purple triangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing producer surplus (PS).

Now suppose the Bolivian government decides to impose a tariff of $30 on each imported ton of wheat. After the tariff, the price Bollvian consumers…
South Korea to Resume US Beef Imports South Korea will open its market to most U.S. beef. South Korea banned imports of U.S. beef in 2003 amid concerns over a case of mad cow disease in the United States. The ban closed what was then the third-largest market for U.S. beef exporters. Source: CNN, May 29, 2008 The graph shows the market for beef in the United States. Assume that South Korea is the only importer of U.S. beef. Draw a point of the quantity demanded and the price when South Korea allows imports of beef from the United States. Label this point 1. Draw a point at the quantity supplied by U.S. beef farmers and the price when South Korea allows imports of beef from the United States. Label this point 2.

Economics Question
Consider the case of the following large country (all prices are measured in euros, and quantities are measured in single units): – Domestic demand curve: P = 3600 –3Q – Domestic supply curve: P = 2Q – World free trade price of imports = 140 euros per unit – When the tariff is introduced, domestic prices rise by exactly one third of the amount of the tariff. Calculate the following. Also show your workouts, draw a diagram depicting the importing country market under free trade and with a tariff. With a 30 euro specific tariff: The change in consumers' surplus going from free trade to the tariff, in euros: __________________________________________________________________________________ The change in producers' surplus going from free trade to the tariff, in euros: __________________________________________________________________________________ The amount of tariff revenue, in euros: __________________________________________________________________________________ The change…
Below is a domestic supply and demand graph for cotton. Label the free trade equilibrium point (FTE). Assume a tariff is placed on imported cotton that eliminates all imports. 1. Label the tariff equilibrium point (TE). 2. Shade in the lost gains from trade (LGT) because of this tariff. Lost gains from trade are also called deadweight loss. 3. Shade in the area representing the wasted resources (WR) created as a result of the restriction on imported cotton.

Before the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) gradually eliminated import tariffs on goods, the autarky price of tomatoes in Mexico was below the world price and in the United States was above the world price. Similarly, the autarky price of poultry in Mexico was above the world price and in the United States was below the world price. Draw diagrams with domestic supply and demand curves for each country and each of the two goods. As a result of NAFTA, the United States now imports tomatoes from Mexico and the United States now exports poultry to Mexico. How would you expect the following groups to be affected? a. Mexican and U.S. consumers of tomatoes. Illustrate the effect on consumer surplus in your diagram. b. Mexican and U.S. producers of tomatoes. Illustrate the effect on producer surplus in your diagram. c. Mexican and U.S. tomato workers. d. Mexican and U.S. consumers of poultry. Illustrate the effect on consumer surplus in your diagram. e.

Economic Use the graph below and the following information to answer the next question. The world price of soybeans is five dollars per bushel and the importing country is small enough to not affect the real price. Suppose the government puts a tariff of one dollars per bushel on soybean imports how much revenue will the government raise from a one dollar per bushel tariff on soybean imports.
4. Effects of a tariff on international trade The following graph shows the domestic supply of and demand for maize in Guatemala. The world price (PW) of maize is $250 per tonne 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
Suppose Home is a small country and instead of a tariff, Home applies an import quota limiting the amount foreign can sell to 2 units. The free trade price was at $6. Graphs for Home market and International market are as below: Price Home market Price International market 18 8. 4 M 2 4 5 6 8 Quantity Import 1. With import quota, the new price that consumers need to pay become $ 2. If the quota licenses are allocated to domestic producers, comparing with free trade, change in consumer surplus will be S change in producer surplus will be $ quota rents earned at Home will be $ and net effect on Home total welfare will be $ (Please use the negative sign if there is a decrease in welfare) 3.

Suppose Guatemala is open to free trade in the world market for wheat. Since Guatemala is small relative to the international market, the demand for and supply of wheat in Guatemala have no impact on the world price. The following graph shows the domestic market for wheat in Guatemala. The world price of a ton of wheat is Pw = $400. On the following graph, use the green triangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing consumer surplus (CS) when the economy is at the free-trade equilibrium. Then, use the purple triangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing producer surplus (PS). (?)
