Suppose that Yosemite and Congaree agree to trade. Each country focuses its resources on producing only the good in which it has a comparative
advantage. The countries decide to exchange 6 million pounds of corn for 6 million pounds of lentils. This ratio of goods is known as the price of
trade between Yosemite and Congre
The following graph shows the same PPF for Yosemite as before, as well as its initial consumption at point A Place a black point (plus symbol) on the
graph to indicate Yosemite's consumption after trade.
Note: Dashed drop lines will automatically extend to both axes.

The New York Times (Nov. 30, 1993) reported that “the inability of OPEC to agree last week to cut production has sent the oil market into turmoil . . . [leading to] the lowest price for domestic crude oil since June 1990.”
Statements
True
False
The members of OPEC were trying to agree to cut production so they could save more oil for the future.
OPEC was unable to agree on cutting production because each country has an incentive to cheat on any agreement.
The newspaper also noted OPEC's view “that producing nations outside the organization, like Norway and Britain, should do their share and cut production.”
What does the phrase “do their share” suggest about OPEC's desired relationship with Norway and Britain?
OPEC would like Norway and Britain to act competitively.
OPEC would like Norway and Britain to keep their production levels high.
OPEC would like Norway and Britain to join the cartel.

The matrix given below represents the pay offs to two large countries, Zombec and Firan, each importing different set of
products from the other. Each country's government must choose between two distinct trade policies, free trade and optimal
tariffs. Each policy choice represents a game strategy.

Determine the Nash equilibrium (if any) in the trade policy game described above.
O a. The Nash cquilibrium cannot be determined.
O b.Zombec will choose free trade and Firan will choose optimal tariff
Oc Zombec will choose optimal tariff and Firan will choose free trade.
Od. Both the countries will choose free trade.

- When a country speciallizes in the production of a good, this means that it can produce this good at a lower opportunity cost than Its trading partner. Because of this comparative advantage, both countries benefit when they specialize and trade with each other. The following graphs show the production possibilitles frontlers (PPFS) for Maldonia and Sylvanla. Both countries produce lemons and coffee, each Initlally (that is, before specialization and trade) producing 18 million pounds of lemons and 9 million pounds of coffee, as Indicated by grey points (star symbols) labeled point A.

Two large countries are "players" in a game in which they each choose the tariff that maximizes welfare within their own country given what tariff the other country is charging. a. The tariff charged by each country is a decreasing function of the tariff the other country is charging. Why? b. Is the same thing true for a small country? That is, will a small country's optimal tariff depend upon the tariffs other countries charge? Why or why not?

- In the "Krugman model" of New Trade Theory, increasing returns to scale and network effects play a significant role in international trade patterns. Suppose two countries are identical in every respect except for the fact that one country has a slightly larger initial market for a particular industry. According to the model, what is the likely long-term outcome for the industry? A) The industry will be evenly distributed between the two countries due to comparative advantage. B) The industry will eventually concentrate in the country with the larger initial market, leading to monopolistic competition and economies of scale. C) Both countries will experience identical growth rates in the industry due to constant returns to scale. D) The industry will disappear in both countries due to competitive pressures from other industries.arrow_forwardWhich of the below statements does NOT reflect the ideas of Trade and Globalization. In short, with which of the below statements, in one form or the other, DOES NOT match the ideas expressed? Group of answer choices Trade is a zero-sum game. If trade is good for the industrially advanced countries in western Europe and the U.S. it must be bad for the poorer countries in the world. In the late 1970s a major profit-seeking Korean textile producertrying to avoid quotas imposed by Europe and the U.S. upon South Korea, contracted out the production of shirts to a Bangladeshi garment producer. To ensure that the shirts produced would be of global quality the Korean company trained the Bangladeshi workers -thus creating human capital. In recent years, though Bangladesh is still one of the poorer countries in the world, it has also emerged as one of the world's leading garment producers. Cheap exports were the path to prosperity for many Asian economies such as Japan, Singapore,…arrow_forwardThe two countries decide to trade with each other, which allows them to be able to specialize in the good in which they have a comparative advantage. , Derryland should specialize in the production of Group of answer choices cheese and Whetonia should specialize in the production of bread. bread and Whetonia should specialize in the production of cheese. both goods and Whetonia should specialize in the production of neither good. neither good and Whetonia should specialize in the production of both goods.arrow_forward
