Consider the domestic steel market. Under autarky, the domestic equilibrium is such that 8 million pounds of steel are produced and sold at a price of $12 per pound. International producers, generally, are able to produce at a lower cost than domestic producers. Under an open trade policy, the world price of $6 enters the domestic market as an exogenous variable. For the questions below, assume that the domestic market is beginning in the equilibrium that exists under an open trade policy and consider the impact of a $3 per pound tariff on imported steel. What is the gain in producer surplus from the tariff? $ (round your answer to two decimal palces) million. What import quota, Q, would produce the same gain in producer surplus as the tariff?

This assignment assumes demand and supply schedules for widgets P=120-3Qd and P = 40 +2QS Please record your answers without dollar signs. Now suppose this country can purchase all the widgets it wants at a world price of P = 48. When the country opens up to trade, the price that will prevail in this marketplace will be the world price, P= 48. This assumption applies for the remainder of the questions. Consumer Surplus for buyers (consumers) in this country will now equal QUESTION 9 Producer Surplus for sellers in this country will now equal QUESTION 10 Total Consumer and Producer Surplus will be dollars. dollars dollars
The demand for cameras in a certain country is given by D = 8000 - 30P, where P is the price of a camera. Supply by domestic camera producers is S 4000 + 10P. Suppose that world price of a camera is $150. If this country decides to trade, which of the following is true? 3000 cameras will be exported Domestic production of cameras will decrease by 500 Domestic production of cameras will increase by 500 2000 cameras will be imported
Consider two countries, Home and Foreign. In the figure below, the import demand ("IDHome") curve depicts Home's demand for Foreign's flash drives, and the import supply curve ("ISForeign") depicts Foreign's supply of flash drives to Home. Assume Home is a "large" country that levies a tariff against Foreign imports of flash drives, thereby shifting the relevant supply curve from ISForeign to ISForeign +t. For the following questions, please refer to the figure below.

With a tariff of $ 12 per flash drive, Home's consumer surplus equals $72, Foreign's producer surplus equals $ 36, Home's tariff revenue equals $72, and Home's deadweight loss equals $45. Of the Home's tariff revenue, $36 comes from Foreign's producers, and the rest comes from Home's consumers.…

Use a demand-supply graph to discuss the welfare implication of free trade. Suppose the country discussed is very large who has influence on the world market price in the world market, and the domestic equilibrium is lower than the international market price.
Suppose Jordan is open to free trade in the world market for oranges. Because of Jordan's small size, the demand for and supply of oranges in Jordan do not affect the world price. The following graph shows the domestic oranges market in Jordan. The world price of oranges is Pw = $800 per ton. Throughout this problem, assume that changes in trade policies in other nations do not significantly affect the world market for oranges and that there are no transportation or transaction costs associated with international trade in oranges. Also assume that domestic supplies will satisfy domestic demand as much as possible before any exporting or importing takes place. On the following graph, use the green triangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing consumer surplus (CS) when the economy is at the free-trade equilibrium. Then, use the purple triangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing domestic producer surplus (PS). PRICE (Dollars per ton) 1280 1220 1160 1100 1040…
Consider a region with two export products (gloves and socks) and two local goods (tattoos and manicures). The production of each export good is subject to localization economies, so each city specializes in one export good. According to Mr. Wizard, “If my two assumptions (one for export products and one for local goods) are correct, all the cities in the region will be the same size.” Assume that Mr. Wizard’s logic is correct. List his assumptions and explain why together they imply the region’s cities will be the same size.
Suppose Colombia is open to free trade in the world market for soybeans. Because of Colombia’s small size, the demand for and supply of soybeans in Colombia do not affect the world price. The following graph shows the domestic soybeans market in Colombia. The world price of soybeans is PW=$400 per ton.

The supply of wheat in a small open economy is given by S= -100+10p and its imports demand function is given by M= 900-15p, where p is the price, S is the quantity supplied and M is the amount of imports. Calculate the equilibrium price and quantities of wheat produced and consumed in autarky. Suppose the country enters free trade and that the world price is pF = 30 euros. Calculate the new quantities produced and consumed in the country. Following complains by local producers that free trade imports hurt domestic production, the country’s government decides on the imposition of an import tariff t=15 euros per unit of imports. Calculate the after-tariff quantities produced and consumed in the country as well as the change in the country’s aggregate welfare, relative to free trade. Briefly comment on your answer.
