2. Winners and losers from free trade Consider the imaginary economy of Meekerton and the market for meekies, a hypothetical good. Without international trade the domestic price of meekies is $25. Suppose that the world price of meekies is $28. Assume that if it were to enter the international market for meekies, Meekerton is too small to influence the world price. If Meekerton decides to participate in free trade, then it will export meekies. Given current economic conditions in Meekerton, complete the following table by indicating whether each of the statements is true or false. Statement Meekertonian producers were better off without free trade than they are with it. Meekertonian consumers are better off under free trade than they were before. True o False True False O O True or False: When a nation is too small to affect world prices, allowing free trade will sometimes decrease total surplus in that country, regardless of whether it imports or exports as a result of international trade.

Based on the information from the previous graph, absent international trade total surplus is $ The following graph shows the same domestic supply and demand curves for melons in Bangladesh. Now, suppose that the Bangladeshi government changes its stance on international trade, deciding to allow free trade in melons. The horizontal black line (Pw) represents the world price of melons at $500 per ton. Assume that Bangladesh's entry into the world market for melons has no effect on the world price and there are no transportation or transaction costs associated with international trade in melons. Also assume that domestic suppliers will satisfy domestic demand as much as possible before any exporting or importing takes place.

Instead of textiles, let us consider the case of computers. Suppose by developing a domestic computer industry, Cambodia can encourage entrepreneurship in the tech sector and hence, the social marginal cost in this industry is lower than private marginal cost.
