Assume two countries: H and F. If the world terms of trade for a country are somewhere between the domestic cost ratio of H and that of F, then

Assume that the comparative-cost ratios of two products-baby formula and tuna fish-are as follows in the nations of Canswicki and Tunata: Canswicki: 1 can baby formula = 3 cans tuna fish Tunata: 1 can baby formula = 5 cans tuna fish a. In what product should each nation specialize? Canswicki should produce [(Click to select), and Tunata should produce [(Click to select) ♥ b. Would the following terms of trade be acceptable to both nations? i. 1 can baby formula = 2 cans tuna fish: (Click to select) ii. 1 can baby formula = 3.5 cans tuna fish: (Click to select) iii. 1 can baby formula = 6 cans tuna fish: (Click to select)

From an economic point of view, India and China are somewhat similar: Both are huge, low-wage countries, probably with similar patterns of comparative advantage, which until recently were relatively closed to international trade. China was the first to open up. Now that India is also opening up to world trade, how would you expect this to affect the welfare of China? Of the United States? (Hint: Think of adding a new economy identical to that of China to the world economy.) A. From China's perspective, the world relative supply curve will shift to the left. This shift will improve China's terms of trade. The U.S. purchases of Chinese exports will hurt the U.S. by decreasing the relative price of goods that the U.S. exports. B. From China's perspective, the world relative supply curve will shift to the right. This shift will worsen China's terms of trade. The U.S. purchase of Chinese exports will benefit the U.S. by increasing the relative price of goods that the U.S. exports. C. From…

Would the U.S. government gain any advantage from using tariffs or quotas to restrict imports?

Choose four countries. One country in North America, another country in Central America, another country in the Caribbean and another country in South America and indicate, using the gravity model, which factors should increase or reduce trade between those countries. After that, choose a country in Europe and indicate, using the Gravity Model, how the intensity of trade changes with five countries. You must take into account the concept of the gravity model and the factors that affect trade such as language, culture, trade agreements, among others. Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer. Take care of plagiarism. Answer completely. You will get up vote for sure.

Which of the following has not been a facilitating factor in world trade? general declines in tariffs import quotas dramatic improvements in communications technology O improvements in transportation technology.

American firms outsource many jobs to other, lower cost countries. How can this outsourcing actually lead to increased employment here in the USA?  How can there be any economic gains for a country from both importing and exporting the same good, like cars?

Finally, Canada and Australia are both English-speaking countries with not-too dissimilar population sizes. However, Canada’s trade is twice as large as that of Australia’s. to what extent, does comparative advantage help explain this?

Describe benefits from international trade.

As you may have heard, Russia decided to invade its neighbor, which has led to international condemnation (albeit not on all fronts). 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)? **
