In 2000, the President of the United States gathered relevant parties together for peace negotiations at Camp David, the presidential retreat in Maryland. He hoped to move Israel and Palestine closer to peace. In the end, the negotiations were unsuccessful for a few reasons. First, neither side was willing to end their demand for full control of the city of Jerusalem, which both parties wanted as their capital under a two-state solution. Second, violent groups targeted regular civilians to protest the negotiations in the hopes that the talks would be derailed. Ultimately, because of these and other reasons, the negotiations failed. The violent groups who targeted civilians engaged in which strategy? A. Outbidding B. Coercion C. Provocation D. Spoiling

After seven years of negotiations, 12 countries—including the United States, Japan, Vietnam, and nine other Pacific Rim countries—signed the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). A key feature of the TPP is the lifting of tariffs on many products traded between the member countries, ranging from agriculture to footwear. As each member country went through the process of ratifying the agreement, numerous domestic firms and collective interests voiced opposition. In the United States, New Balance was one of these opposing firms, specifically stating its disapproval of phasing out U.S. tariffs on shoes made in Vietnam. What would a reduction of U.S. tariffs on Vietnamese shoes do to the supply of Vietnamese shoes in the United States? What impact would this have on the equilibrium quantity of shoes sold in the United States? Would the tariff reduction cause the equilibrium price for shoes in the United States to increase or decrease? Explain.

Suppose that the world is comprised of two countries: X and Y. Because of the absence of centralized world governance, the control of global externalities is particularly challenging, which is the case with greenhouse gases linked to climate change. The entries in the following Payoff Table describe each country's well-being under different abatement patterns: If both countries were able to enforce a binding agreement, they would agree on an efficient arrangement (or strategy profile) that also is equitable. We will refer to such arrangement as a cooperative solution. However, absent an appropriate global enforcement mechanism, they would engage in non-cooperative behavior. Define the appropriate concepts of Efficiency and (non-cooperative) equilibrium, find the equilibrium and verify that it is not efficient in the context of a static strategic game in which both countries select their abatement levels simultaneously. Taking into account the common resource nature of the problem,…
Two countries decide to specialize in producing certain goods to export to other countries, and in return they import different goods from these other countries. The advantage of these exports and imports is: Group of answer choices the country will be able to produce at a point outside your production possibilities frontier. the country will be able to consume at a point outside your production possibilities frontier. the countries will be able to produce and consume at a point outside your production possibilities frontier. the country's production possibilities frontier will shift outward.
Recall that the 1945 UN Security Council had five permanent members (P) and six non-permanent members (NP). A coalition could pass a measure if it included all five P and at least two NP members. On the grid below, the x-axis shows the number of NP, and the y-axis shows the number of P members in a coalition. Exactly one picture includes only one type of coalitions (losing, blocking, or winning - the other pictures include two different types of coalitions). This picture showing this selected set of coalitions is: (a) (b). 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 non-permanent members 0 1 2 3 4 S 6 non-permanent members (c) (d) O 1 2 3 4 5 6 0 1 2 3 4S 6 non-permanent members non-permanent members a permanent members permanent members 0 1 2 3 4 permanent members 012 3 4 5 permanent members 01 2 3 45

The Battle of the Bismarck Sea (named for that part of the southwestern Pacific Ocean separating the Bismarck Archipelago from Papua New Guinea) was a naval engagement played between the United States and Japan during World War II. In 1943, a Japanese admiral was ordered to move a convoy of ships to New Guinea; he had to choose between a rainy northern route and a sunnier southern route, both of which required three days' sailing time. TheAmericans knew that the convoy would sail and wanted to send bombers after it, but they did not know which route it would take. The Americans had to send reconnaissance planes to scout for the convoy, but they had only enough reconnaissance planes to explore one route at a time. Both the Japanese and the Americans had to make their decisions with no knowledge of the plans being made by the other side. If the convoy was on the route that the Americans explored first, they could send bombers right away; if not, they lost a day of bombing. Poor weather…
Assume that the countries of Irun and Urun are the only two producers of crude oil. Further assume that both countries have entered into an agreement to maintain certain production levels in order to maximize profits. In the world market for oil, the demand curve is downward sloping. Refer to Scenario 16-1. The fact that both countries have colluded to earn higher profit shows their desire to keep production levels above the monopoly level of output. below the Nash equilibrium level of output. equal to the Nash equilibrium level of output above the Nash equilibrium level of output.

The Cartel Model: Iran and Iraq. For simplicity, let’s look at the production of just two members of the OPEC: Iran and Iraq. For further simplicity, let’s assume that there are only two production levels available: 2 or 4 million barrels of crude oil per day. Depending on their decision, the total output on the world market could be 4, 6, or 8 million barrels. Suppose the price could be $25, $15, and $10 per barrel respectively. Extraction costs are $2 per barrel in Iran and $4 per barrel in Iraq. a. Complete the payoff matrix (values in 000,000). Round up your answers to no decimals.

Problem 1. In planet Krugman there are only two large countries, A and B. Demand (D) and supply (S) of a given good in each country are characterized by the following conditions: DA: P = 600 – 5Q SA: P = 400 – 5Q DB : P = 600 – 6Q SB : P = 300 + 2Q Assume all production is consumed. Pay also attention to the fact that the setup here involves just one good. a) Derive the autarky equilibrium prices and quantities in both country A (PA, QA), and B (PB, QB), separately. b) Derive the the free trade equilibrium price (PFT).
