A. Michael Porter
B. David Ricardo
C. Adam Smith
Potato SA's head of marketing Willie Jacobs has explained that the practice of potato dumping holds some harmful consequences. These include further economic decline and hitting where it hurts most, the livelihoods of South African farmers and workers and their families. He added that irregular imports are detrimental to a viable local economy; hence the implementation of consistent anti-dumping measures is essential." If demand theory is used to explain why South African farmers feel their businesses are under threat, it is because they believe that... A. They would have to sell their produce at a low price resulting in losses. B. They are expecting prices to rise in the future. C. There is not enough demand for potatoes in the market. D. The dumped potatoes shift the supply curve outwards resulting in price that is too high for consumers to afford.

Suppose that a technological advance in ethanol production in Brazil, the world’s largest exporter, drives down the world price of ethanol by $5. Draw a graph and explain how this change in world price affects consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus in the U.S. market. Now suppose the U.S. government institutes an import tariff of $5 in response to the fall in the world price. On your graph label the revenue raised by the tariff and the deadweight loss created (if it exists). Who is likely to support this policy? Suppose that the fall in price is attributable not to a technological advance but to a subsidy from the Brazilian government to Brazilian ethanol producers. How would this affect your analysis?arrow_forwardIn the picture below is the full question. The highlighted one is my guess which is wrong. Which of the following best explains how subsidies work as a trade restriction? A)They increase competition for a new business, forcing it to be more productive, and lowering prices for consumers. B)They limit the import of foreign goods and create shortages. C)They place a tax on foreign goods, making foreign good expensive, increasing demand for domestic goods(this one is wrong) D)Governments pay producers, offsetting costs, increasing supply, lowering prices, and reducing foreign competition.arrow_forward
- Under what circumstances can a state impose a tax on goods that are imported into the state from another nation?arrow_forward5. Agricultural export subsidies in a small nation The following graph shows the market for wheat in Canada, where Do is the demand curve, Sc is the supply curve, and Pw is the free trade price of wheat. Assume that Canada is a relatively small producer of wheat, so changes in its output do not affect the world price of wheat. Also assume that Canada is currently open to free trade, and domestic consumers are able to purchase wheat at the world price with negligible transportation costs. Suppose a subsidy of $80 per ton is granted to exporters in Canada, allowing them to sell their products abroad at prices below their costs. Assume that trade restrictions are also put in place in order to prevent domestic consumers from buying wheat abroad at the world price. Use the grey line (star symbols) to indicate the world price of wheat plus the subsidy on the following graph. Then use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the price of wheat in Canada and the quantity demanded at that…arrow_forwardConsider a small country that exports steel. Suppose that a “pro-trade” government decides to subsidize the export of steel by paying a certain amount for each ton sold abroad. How does this export subsidy affect the domestic price of steel, the quantity of steel consumed, and the quantity of steel exported? How does it affect consumer surplus, producer surplus and government revenue? (Hint: The analysis of an export subsidy is like the analysis of a tariff.)arrow_forward

- In 1932, U.S. manufacturers, which used to enjoy steady relationships with their foreign distributors and export nearly 60% of their output, realized that their exports had fallen to only 20% of total output.
