Nearly all theory and evidence suggest that the benefits of international trade far exceed the costs.
Tariffs and other barriers to imports will bring manufacturing jobs back into the U.S., exactly as President Trump promised.
Trade creates losers, like any kind of market.
According to the Sachs & Warner study discussed on several slides in class, do economies that
were always closed to trade grow faster, slower or at the same rate as those that were always
open to trade? What does their study suggest about convergence in closed and open economies?
Be sure to answer these questions, and also explain what we mean by "convergence" in this class.

- In a small open economy, the government decides to remove all trade barriers, transitioning from a protectionist stance to a completely free trade policy. Consider the Heckscher - Ohlin model in this context. A) How is this policy shift likely to affect the country's production and consumption patterns in the short term? B) What would be the expected impact on the distribution of income between the owners of the country's abundant and scarce factors of production? C) Discuss the potential long - term dynamic effects on the economy's growth and development. D) If the economy has a comparative advantage in labor - intensive goods, what kind of structural changes might you anticipate in the domestic industries as a result of this policy shift?arrow_forwardAs international businesses look to emerging markets for growth opportunities and access to resources, they will evaluate the business environments of the countries under consideration. Argentina is the largest country in South America, and its terrain includes mountains, lakes, glaciers, and grasslands. It is resource rich—producing soybeans, wheat, wine, and beef. It has more arable land per person than all but five nations in the world. Argentina has the world’s third largest shale-oil and gas fields. With a population of more than 45 million and rich natural resources, Argentina might seem to be a desirable market for international businesses. Despite this, Argentina is known as a rich country made poor. Consider these points of interest about Argentina. In 1913, Argentina was the 10th wealthiest country in the world, ahead of Norway, France, Germany, and Japan. Today, it is in 85th place, behind Russia and China, with a per-capita income of $10,000.

The model we will be using for trade is a simple supply and demand diagram where any amount can be bought or sold at the world price. If the world price is above the 'no trade' (autarky) price, there are exports, and if it is below there are imports. Both countries are small, so their actions do NOT have an impact on the world price. Question A: Suppose the demand in the poor country is P=100- 9Q and supply is P=Q. Suppose the supply in the poor country is different from the one in country A only because it faces less strict environmental regulations. That is, in country B it costs firms Q to produce Q units, whereas it costs 2Q in country A to produce quantity Q. Draw country B’s demand and supply diagram in 'autarky' with the standard axes (P vertical, Q horizontal) and then work out the equilibrium. How large is welfare under…arrow_forward
- Aniva and kartaly are small countries that protect their economic growth from rapidly advancing globalization by limiting the import of televisions to 20 million. To this end, each country imposes a different type of trade barrier when the world price (Pw) is $3,000. In Aniva, the government decides to impose a tariff of $2,000 per television; In Kartaly, the government implements a quota of 20 million televisions. Assume that Aniva and Kartaly have identical domestic demand (D₁) and supply (S) curves for televisions as shown on the following graph. Under these conditions, the price of televisions is $5,000 per television in each country.

Chose a country, and discuss the following: What are the political, cultural, environmental, economic, and trade risks present when doing business in the country as an outsider? What type of business would you do there in light of the risks? For example, would it be labor or capital intensive? Would it be a manufacturing or distribution center, etc.? Would it be a representative office or a full-fledged operation? Why should you as a manager be concerned with all this?arrow_forward
- Consider an international trade model consisting of three countries X, Y, and Z. Suppose X uses domestically, sends of its production to Y, and sends of its production to Z. Suppose Y uses domestically, sends of its production to X, and sends of its production to Z. Suppose Z uses sends of its production to X and sends of its production to Y. Assume this is a closed Leontief model.

- Can part F be answered/further explained?arrow_forwardSome people argue for protectionism by pointing out that other countries with whom we trade engage in “unfair trade practices,” and that we should retaliate with our own protectionist measures. One such policy is the policy of some countries to subsidize exporting industries. India, for example, subsidizes its steel industry. Obviously, U.S. steel producers are hurt by this policy and would like to restrict imported steel from India. Is this a good reason to place tariffs on Indian steel? Why or why not?arrow_forwardEconomic integration is now a common practice around the world. The world is currently divided into four blocs – namely North American Free Trade Alliance, European Union, Asian Pacific Rim, and the rest of the world. The rest of the world are those countries that have no power to impact the world market. Explain why the rest of the world may affect trade given the recent wave of technology and COVID-19. Do you think trade diversification, creation, and retaliation may have an impact on trade flows? If so explain.arrow_forward
