Continue with Questions #2 and #3:
Suppose the WTO does not impose a penalty on the countries that offer the subsidy. Out of the four possible outcomes, the world has the
highest level of welfare or total surplus under the
outcome, which is equal to
O a. (ES, ES): $2,500
O b. (ES, ES); $2,700
O c. (FT, FT): $3,500
O d. None of the answers above is correct.

Consider the following Cournot-Stackelberg duopoly model on export subsidies: There are three countries, H, F and the rest of the world
(ROW). Both H and F produce and export a product to the ROW. Let the exports of the H firm be x units and the exports of the F firm be y
units. For simplicity, assume that x and y are produced only for exports and are not consumed domestically in these two countries. Both
countries have the same constant marginal cost C. All assumptions and notations are the same as those in our lecture notes.
Import Demand from the ROW: P(x+y) = 100 - x - y
Marginal cost: C = 25
The Nash equilibrium levels of subsidies are sH =
and sF =
O a 0:0
Ob. 15: 15
O. 20, 20
O d. None of the answers above is correct.
Continue with Question #2:
and for F is
Given the equilibrium subsidy values, the associated Nash equilibrium welfare level of H is
O a $450; $450
O b. $500; $500
O. $550; $550
O d. None of the answers above is correct.
