The model (graph) below represents a small country trade of good X after the government decided to impose tariffs on import. Consider the case of trade after tariffs. Please answer the following questions: What area(s) represent the gain of surplus to producers? What area(s) represent government revenue? What area(s) represent the loss of surplus to consumers? What area(s) represent consumers surplus? What's the quantity imported? Describe the impact of a tariff on social welfare. Refer to the graph to support your answer.

Which of the following is predicted by the models of intraindustry trade we have studied? Countries will export what they have a relatively low opportunity cost of producing and import what they have a high opportunity cost of producing. Trade will either help consumers or help producers in a given industry but never both. Trade may decrease the price and increase the variety in the same industry for two countries that begin to trade.
Suppose an economist develops an international trade model based on the assumption that there are only two countries and two goods. We can say that the model is worthless, since the actual world has many countries trading many goods. can be useful in the classroom, but has no use in the real world. can be useful only in situations involving two countries and two goods. can be useful in helping economists to understand the complex world of international trade involving many countries and many goods.
CENGAGE MINDTAP MindTap Assignment 4 (Chapters 9,13) Q s The following graph shows the same domestic supply and demand curves for pears in Zambia. Now, suppose that the Zambian government changes its stance on international trade, deciding to allow free trade in pears. The horizontal black line (Pw) represents the world price of pears at $350 per ton. Assume that Zambia's entry into the world market for pears has no effect on the world price and there are no transportation or transaction costs associated with international trade in pears. Also assume that domestic suppliers will satisfy domestic demand as much as possible before any exporting or importing takes place. Use the green triangle (triangle symbol) to shade in the area representing consumer surplus, and then use the purple triangle (diamond symbol) to shade in the area representing producer surplus.

When was the concept of “demand” formally introduced in international trade models? Who did that?
Please no written by hand and no emage Countries use a variety of ways to protect their trade. One way is to enact tariffs, which tax imports. This immediately raises the price of imported goods, making them less competitive when compared to locally produced goods. This works especially well for a country like the U.S., which imports a lot of consumer products and oil. The most famous example is the Smoot-Hawley Tariff of 1930. It was originally designed to protect farmers from agricultural imports from Europe, which was stepping up farming after the destruction of World War I. Go online and find out about the Smoot-Hawley Act. What role did the Smoot-Hawley Act play in the Great Depression? Into which ideological perspective would you classify the Smoot-Hawley Act? Explain your reasoning.
Explain the difference between absolute advantage and comparative advantage. Which is the basis for international trade, and why? The graph below represents the market for sugar in the U.S. The domestic supply and demand curves are drawn, the world price for sugar is indicated, and the effect of a tariff the US is imposing on sugar imports is shown. Use the graphic to calculate consumer surplus, producer surplus, economics surplus, government revenue, and deadweight loss. Do so under each of the following three situations: 1) no trade, 2) free trade, and 3) the sugar tariff. A friend tells you the following: “Free trade sounds good, but a country like Honduras doesn’t have any comparative advantage compared to the United States. Therefore, trade with us will exploit them and make their economic situation worse.” Explain to your friend the error in his thinking.
Subject 3: Protectionism The supply and demand for wheat in the small country Tinyland are: Q$ = P and Qª 400 – P, respectively. The world price of wheat is Py = 100. a. Suppose the government imposes an import quota on wheat Q i. Find the price of wheat in Tinyland. ii. Find the tariff per unit that generates the same volume of trade as the quota. iii. 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), a consumption tax is levied on all units sold in the domestic market regardless of where they were produced, = 100. 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…
During the last 20 to 30 years, there have been a number of countries whose economies have experienced important economic expansion and development. One group of countries has been labeled the BRIC countries and the other the VISTA countries. Identify each of the nine countries and provide some insights about their economies and economic importance. The theories of absolute and comparative advantage have been offered as an economic rationale for trade between and among regions and countries. Compare and contrast the two concepts. Which of the two do you think is more important for explaining the growth in global trade during the last 25 years? Why”
Macmillan Learning The Power of Trade and Comparative Advantage: Work It Out 5 Here's another specialization and exchange problem. This problem is wholly made-up, so that you won't be able to use your intuition about the names of countries or the products to figure out the answer. Consider the following productivity table: Mandovia Ducennia Number of Hours to Make One Rotid Output of rotids for Mandovia: Total rotid output: 50 150 Number of Hours to Make One Tauron d. Now allow specialization. One billion hours of labor are available for making products in Mandovia, and 2 billion hours of labor are available for making products in Ducennia. If each country completely specializes in the product in which it holds the comparative advantage, what will the total output of rotids be? Of taurons? Is the total output of each product higher than before? million 100 million 200 Output of rotids for Ducennia: million
