- Using the graph, assume that the government imposes a $1 tariff on hammers, Answer the following questions given this information, (see the attached pictures.)pAutarky- pw Tariff d a b Whatt is the level of imports with and without the tariff? O With: Q³-Q2; without: Q¹-Q¹ O With: Q1-Q¹; without: Q³-Q² O With: Q-Q²; without: Q³-Q² O With: Q³-Q¹; without: Q1-Q¹ C S pw+tariff DSometimes governments use the 'national security' argument to justify protecting an industry with tariffs. (Choose the best answer) O Stockpiling the product is a plausible alternative to ensure national security interests without risking a trade war. O An export subsidy would always be the first best option Most countries are much weaker than the USA and therfore would never retaliate. O This argument is always plausible since tarrifs are the best way to ensure the industry is able to survive.
- Suppose that Congress imposes a tariff on importedautomobiles to protect the U.S. auto industry fromforeign competition. Assuming that the United Statesis a price taker in the world auto market, show thefollowing on a diagram: the change in the quantityof imports, the loss to U.S. consumers, the gainto U.S. manufacturers, government revenue, andthe deadweight loss associated with the tariff. Theloss to consumers can be decomposed into threepieces: a gain to domestic producers, revenue forthe government, and a deadweight loss. Use yourdiagram to identify these three pieces.The nation of Theopolis recenty put a tariff on the importation of washing machines.

- 5. You have been asked to quantify the effects of removing a country's tariff on sugar. The ompute its value? nard part of the work is already done: Somebody has estimated how many pouncs Sugar would be produced, consumed, and imported by the country if there were no saber duty. You are given the information shown in the table. Estimated Situation without Tariff Situation with Import Tariff World price $0.10 per pound $0.10 per pound $0.02 per pound $0.12 per pound Tariff $0.10 per pound Domestic price Domestic consumption (billions of pounds per year) Domestic production (billions of pounds per year) Imports (billions of pounds per year) 22 20 8. 16 12 Calculate the following measures: a. The domestic consumers' gain from removing the tariff. b. The domestic producers' loss from removing the tariff. C. The government tariff revenue loss. d. The net effect on national well-being.Quota O people who favor trade barriers that protect domestic industries O tax placed on imports to increase their price in the domestic market O limit placed on the quantities of a product that can be imported O people who favor few or no trade restrictionsAssume two countries, Thailand (T) and Japan (J), have one good: cameras. The demand (d) and supply (s) for cameras In Thailand and Japan is described by the following functions: QsT=-5+14P QsJ=-10+14P QdT=60-P QdJ=80-P P is the price measured in a common currency used in both countries, such as the Thai Baht. Compute the equilibrium price (P) and quantities in each country without trade. Now assume that free trade occurs. The free-trade price goes to 56.36 Baht. Who exports and Imports cameras and in what quantities?
- The country of Pepperland exports steel to the Land of Submarines. Information for the quantity demanded (Qd) and quantity supplied (Qs) in each country, in a world without trade, are given in Table 34.6 and Table 34.7. What would be the equilibrium price and quantity in each country in a world without trade? How can you tell? What would be the equilibrium price and quantity in each country if trade is allowed to occur? How can you tell? Sketch two supply and demand diagrams, one for each country, in the situation before trade. On those diagrams, show the equilibrium price and the levels of exports and imports in the world after trade. If the Land of Submarines imposes an anti- dumping import quota of 30, explain in general terms whether it will benefit or injure consumers and producers in each country. Does your general answer change if the Land of Submarines imposes an import quota of 70?Trade has income distribution effects. For example, suppose that because of a government-negotiated reduction in trade barriers, trade between Germany and the Czech Republic increases. Germany sells house paint to the Czech Republic. The Czech Republic sells alarm clocks to Germany. Would you expect this pattern of trade to increase or decrease jobs and wages in the paint industry in Germany? The alarm clock industry in Germany? The paint industry in Czech Republic? The alarm clock industry in Czech Republic? What has to happen for there to be no increase in total unemployment in both countries?
