A Senator announces his past support for protectionism. “The U.S. trade deficit must be reduced, but import quotas only annoy our trading partners. If we subsidize U.S. exports instead, we can reduce the deficit by increasing our competitiveness.” Using a three-panel diagram from Chapter 19 in the Mankiw textbook, show the effects of an export subsidy on U.S. net exports, national saving, domestic investment, net capital outflows, the interest rate, and the real exchange rate. Do you agree with the senator?
You work for a Nova Scotia Company trying to successfully enter the cranberry market in Australia. Analyze the entry country (Australia) based on the following;
What are the major exports, dollar value, and trends? What are the major imports, dollar value, and trends? Does the entry country have a surplus or deficit for trade? What are the exchange rates? Are there any restrictions on currency trade?
You should also consider sweat shops, skilled labor, employee unrest, political and social activists and labor unions in your analysis.
The value of dollars in the market for foreign-currency exchange (falls, rises) as a result of this export subsidy.
True or False: The export subsidy reduces the trade deficit.
