- There are two countries Home and Foreign. Home has 1,200 units of labor available. It can produce two goods, apples and bananas. The unit labor requirement in apple production is 3, while in banana production it is 2.

"Let us suppose, for a moment, that the Japanese flood us with steel. That will reduce employment in the American steel industry, no doubt. However, it will increase employment elsewhere in America. We will pay for that steel with dollars. What will the Japanese do with the dollars they get for the steel? They aren't going to burn them. They aren't going to tear them up. If they would, that would be best of all, because there's nothing we can produce more cheaply than green pieces of paper. And if they were willing to send us steel, and just take back green pieces of paper, I can't imagine a better deal!" 16.

- Steel Industry 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. 1. Because this country exports steel, the world price is represented by P1 or P2. Suppose that a “pro-trade” government decides to subsidize the export of steel by paying $10 for each ton sold abroad. 2. With this export subsidy, the price paid by domestic consumers is $???? per ton, and the price received by domestic producers is $???? per ton. 3. The quantity of steel consumed by domestic consumers INCREASES or REMAINS UNCHANGED or DECREASES, the quantity of steel produced by domestic producers INCREASES or REMAINS UNCHANGED or DECREASES, and the quantity of steel exported INCREASES or REMAINS UNCHANGED or DECREASES. 4.
