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.

Kazakhstan is an apple producer, as well as an importer of apples. Suppose the following graph shows Kazakhstan's domestic market for apples, where SK is the supply curve and Dx is the demand curve. The free trade world price of apples (Pw) is $200 per ton. Suppose Kazakhstan's government restricts imports of apples to 200,000 tons. The world price of apples is not affected by the quota. Analyze the effects of the quota on Kazakhstan's welfare. On the following graph, use the purple line (diamond symbol) to draw the Kazakhstan's supply curve including the quota SK+Q. (Hint: Draw this as a straight line even though this curve should be equivalent to the domestic supply curve below the world price.) Then use the grey line (star symbol) to indicate the new price of apples with a quota of 200,000 apples.

Suppose Kenya is open to free trade in the world market for wheat. Because of Kenya's small size, the demand for and supply of wheat in Kenya do not affect the world price. The following graph shows the domestic wheat market in Kenya. The world price of wheat is Pw = $250 per ton. Throughout this problem, assume that changes in trade policies in other nations do not significantly affect the world market for wheat and that there are no transportation or transaction costs associated with international trade in wheat. 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) 490 400 430 400 370 340 310 280 250 220…
A small country imports salt. With free trade at the world price of $10 per pound, the country's national market is as follows: Domestic production: 100 million pounds per year Domestic consumption: 200 million pounds per year The country's government now decides to impose a $3 tariff per pound that limits salt imports to 40 million pounds per year. With the tariff in effect, the domestic production increases to 130 million pounds per year. Answer the following 3 questions according to this information. How much is the domestic producers gain or loss from the quota? How much is the domestic consumers' gain or loss after tariff? What is the government revenue from tariff?
Two countries, Home (H) and Foreign (F) trade agricultural and manufacturing goods (A and M, respectively). Production of either good requires skilled and unskilled labor. Unskilled workers can freely move from one sector to another, while skilled workers cannot. Identify mobile and industry-specific factors of production (b) Suppose Home is relatively more productive in agriculture than Foreign. Draw two diagrams, one for H one for F, which illustrate no-trade equilibrium in each county. Compare relative price of agricultural goods in two countries.
Suppose a large country A initially imposed a tariff on its imports and is now considering removing its tariff. Use a domestic-market graph to a) show the effect of country A’s tariff removal on the world’s price, country A’s import price, import quantity, consumer surplus, producer surplus, and government revenue. b) identify country A’s net welfare change as a result of its tariff removal. Is country A unambiguously better off? c) Use a different graph to show how foreign producers will be affected by country A’s tariff removal? d) What factor determines the level of optimal tariff for country A? Please make sure to graph fpr both parts "a" and "c"

Consider the case of the following large country (all prices are measured in euros, and quantities are measured in single units): – Domestic demand curve: P = 3600 –3Q – Domestic supply curve: P = 2Q – World free trade price of imports = 140 euros per unit – When the tariff is introduced, domestic prices rise by exactly one third of the amount of the tariff. Calculate the following. Also show your workouts, draw a diagram depicting the importing country market under free trade and with a tariff. With a 30 euro specific tariff: The change in consumers' surplus going from free trade to the tariff, in euros: __________________________________________________________________________________ The change in producers' surplus going from free trade to the tariff, in euros: __________________________________________________________________________________ The amount of tariff revenue, in euros: __________________________________________________________________________________ The change…

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
What would be the effect of ANWR production on the world price of oil given that ɛ = - 0.50, 1 = 0.40, the pre-ANWR daily world production of oil is Q, = 82 million barrels per day, the pre-ANWR world price is p, = $100 per barrel, and daily ANWR production would be 0.8 million barrels per day? For simplicity, assume that the supply and demand curves are linear and that the introduction of ANWR oil would cause a parallel shift in the world supply curve to the right by 0.8 million barrels per day. Determine the long-run linear demand function that is consistent with pre-ANWR world output and price. The long-run demand function is Q = 123 – 0.41p`. Determine the long-run linear supply function that is consistent with pre-ANWR world output and price. The long-run supply function is Q = 49.2 + 0.328p`. Determine the post-ANWR long-run linear supply function. The long-run supply function with ANWR oil production is Q= 50 + 0.328p'. Use the demand curve and the post-ANWR supply function to…
Suppose that under free trade a final good F has a price of $1,000 and that the prices of two inputs, A and B, used in the production of F are PA = $300 and PB = 500 and that one unit each of A and B is used in producing one unit of F. Suppose also that a tariff of 20 percent is placed on good F, while imported inputs had tariffs of 20 percent and 30 percent respectively. Calculate the effective rate of tariff protection for domestic industry producing good F and interpret the meaning of your result (All steps must be shown to obtain full credit). Note: v = value added without tariff and v' = value added with tariff.
