Concept Introduction:

World Price: It is the equilibrium price at which export demand curve intersects import supply curve. It is equilibrium price with trade.

Domestic Demand Curve: The curve which shows how the quantity demanded by changes due to change in the price when there is no trade. It is negatively sloped curve.

Domestic Supply Curve: The curve which shows how the quantity supplied changes due to change in the price when there is no trade. It is positively sloped curve.

Tariff: It imposes restriction on the goods that are imported. It is an indirect tax levied on the goods in case of import and export.

Consumer Surplus: It is difference between the amount that a consumer wants to pay and the real amount which he pays for goods and services.

Producer Surplus: It is difference between the amount which the producer wants to receive and the real amount which he receives for goods and services.

Explanation of Solution

U.S. Consumer

  • In the figure 1 the equilibrium without trade is at point A where domestic price and quantity of tomato is PAand QArespectively. The world price is PW. The quantity demanded at world price is QDand the quantity supplied at the world price is QS.and U.S imports the deficit from Mexico.
  • Due to import, the price has decreased in U.S and the consumer surplus has increased by the shaded area equal to LL+ SAPLINGPLUS ACCESS MACRO 1TERM, Chapter 5, Problem 6P , additional homework tip  3

Mexican Consumer

  • In the figure 2 the equilibrium without trade is at point A where domestic price and quantity of tomato is PAand QArespectively. The world price is PW. The quantity demanded at world price is QDand the quantity supplied at the world price is QS.and Mexico exports the surplus to U.S.
  • Due to export the price has increased in Mexico and the consumer surplus has decreased by the shaded area equal to LL+ SAPLINGPLUS ACCESS MACRO 1TERM, Chapter 5, Problem 6P , additional homework tip  4

U.S. Producer

  • In the figure 3 the equilibrium without trade is at point A where domestic price and quantity of tomato is PAand QArespectively. The world price is PW. The quantity demanded at world price is QDand the quantity supplied at the world price is QS.and U.S imports the deficit from Mexico.
  • Due to import the price has decreased in U.S and the producer surplus has decreased by the shaded area equal to (X).

Mexican Producer

  • In the figure 4, the equilibrium without trade is at point A where domestic price and quantity of tomato is PAand QArespectively. The world price is PW. The quantity demanded at world price is QDand the quantity supplied at the world price is QS.So, Mexico exports the surplus to U.S.
  • Due to export the price has increased in Mexico and the producer surplus has decreased by the shaded area equal to LL+ SAPLINGPLUS ACCESS MACRO 1TERM, Chapter 5, Problem 6P , additional homework tip  7

c. Effect of trade on Mexican and U.S tomato workers.

Tomato workers in U.S are negatively affected but the workers in Mexico will benefit.

  • Due to international trade, U.S. imports tomatoes. As a result, the demand for domestic potatoes decreases and the wage of U.S. workers who are involved in the production of tomatoes decreases.
  • Due to international trade Mexico exports tomatoes. As a result, the demand for domestic potatoes increases and the wage of Mexican workers who are involved in the production of tomatoes increases.

Consider the table below, which has data on insurance status and medical expenditures for different types of professors at Hypothetical University (HU), economics & criminology professors. Assume that there are an equal number of economics and criminology professors. Assume further that econ professors all have the same level of health and criminology professors all have the same level of health. In 2020, every professor was offered a full insurance contract with no premium. In 2021, HU charged any employee who wanted to keep health insurance the actuarially fair premium based on 2020 expenditures. This premium would be equal to and, as a result,professors dropped their coverage in 2021. _ 2020 2021 Insured? Avg. Expenditures Insured? Avg.
