The supply and demand for wheat in the small country Tinyland are: Qs = P and Qd = 400 – P,
respectively. The world price of wheat is Pw = 100.
a. Suppose the government imposes an import quota on wheat Q = 100.
Find the price of wheat in Tinyland.
Find the tariff per unit that generates the same volume of trade as the quota.
Next suppose that instead of a quota or a tariff, the government levies a
specific (per unit) consumption tax on wheat. Find the price of wheat in
Tinyland when the tax is equal to the tariff you found in part ii and the quantity
of wheat imported.
NB: In contrast to a tariff, which is levied on all units produced abroad (imported),
i.
ii.
a consumption tax is levied on all units sold in the domestic market regardless of
where they were produced.
b. Which of these three policies, i.e., quota, tariff, and consumption tax, do consumers and
producers prefer? Give precise answers by evaluating the welfare of each group.
Assuming that the government allocates quota…
In the picture below is the full question. The highlighted one is my guess which is wrong.
Which of the following best explains how subsidies work as a trade restriction?
A)They increase competition for a new business, forcing it to be more productive, and lowering prices for consumers.
B)They limit the import of foreign goods and create shortages.
C)They place a tax on foreign goods, making foreign good expensive, increasing demand for domestic goods(this one is wrong)
D)Governments pay producers, offsetting costs, increasing supply, lowering prices, and reducing foreign competition.
Consider the market for sugar in the United States depicted in the figure to the
right. Assume the world price of sugar is $0.04 per pound, and at that price the
United States can buy as much sugar as it wants without causing the world price
to rise.
Now suppose a tariff imposed by the government completely eliminates trade.
As a result of the tariff, consumers will be
surplus, and producers will be
off in terms of consumer
off in terms of producer surplus.
Use the traingle drawing tool to indicate the total loss of surplus for the United
States as a result of the tariff by shading in domestic dead weight loss. Property

For a Tariff-Rate Quota, the government imposes an import tariff and an import quota. The formation of Free Trade Areas and Custom Unions leads to free trade between all countries. Immiserizing growth takes place when there is an increase in growth and trade of a country. In the U.S, countervailing duties are levied on imported goods if they receive an export subsidy from the foreign government.arrow_forwardB. If Oman imposing an import tariff on the used car imports from UAE (Foreign), explain the cost and benefits tariff as an importing country to Oman and an exporting county to UAE(Use appropriate diagram to explain your answer). Your answer can limit based on following theoretical assumptions: Suppose that there are two countries Home (Oman) and Foreign. Both countries consume and produce used cars which can be costless transported between these countries. In each country, it is a competitive industry. Suppose that in the absence of trade the price of used cars at Home exceeds the corresponding price at Foreign. C.

- A small country can import a good at a world price of 10 per unit. The domestic supply curve of the good is Q = 50+ 5P. The demand curve is Qd = 400-10P. Suppose for political reasons the government counts a dollar's worth of gain to producers as being worth $2 of either consumer gain or government revenue. Assume the government's objective is to maximize national welfare. The change in the government's objective of a tariff of $5 per unit is $.

- Suppose a small country Neverland exports only silver and gold. These two industries employ 40% of the population of Neverland. Export is equal to 50% of Neverland's GDP. 60% of all the export revenue Neverland obtains from silver export. Other things being equal, if the price of silver on the world market goes up by 20%, by how much Neverland's welfare will change?

The EU, a former major importer of gas from Russai, went ahead with sanctions. Imagine, if you will, that the respective heads of state get together and try to negotiate a trade agreement to end sanctions. They each have three possible choices: (a) Maintain tariffs against the other nation (T); (b) Seek mediation from the WTO, which would implement an international trade agreement at a small cost (M); (c) Unilaterally remove tariffs (F). The payoff matrix is as given below. Is there a dominant strategy for either player? Find all the (pure strategy) Nash equilibria in the game. How would this change if, instead, the mediation is costless and yields a payoff of 50 to each nation (assuming mutually successful mediation) and a payoff of 0 (if the other nation chooses otherwise)? **arrow_forward
