SCENARIO A: Estonia, a net importer of sugar, imposes a tariff on sugar. The following table provides the hypothetical information to Estonia's imports, consumption, and production of sugar following the tariff introduction. Without Tariff (free With Tariff trade) World price $12 $12 ($/pound) Domestic price $12 ($/pound) $15 Domestic Consumption 1500 1000 (million pounds/year) Domestic Production 100 300 (million pounds/year) Calculate the change in producer surplus from introducing the tariff on sugar. Are producers better off or worse off?

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.

Before the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) gradually eliminated import tariffs on goods, the autarky price of tomatoes in Mexico was below the world price and in the United States was above the world price. Similarly, the autarky price of poultry in Mexico was above the world price and in the United States was below the world price. Draw diagrams with domestic supply and demand curves for each country and each of the two goods. As a result of NAFTA, the United States now imports tomatoes from Mexico and the United States now exports poultry to Mexico. How would you expect the following groups to be affected? a. Mexican and U.S. consumers of tomatoes. Illustrate the effect on consumer surplus in your diagram. b. Mexican and U.S. producers of tomatoes. Illustrate the effect on producer surplus in your diagram. c. Mexican and U.S. tomato workers. d. Mexican and U.S. consumers of poultry. Illustrate the effect on consumer surplus in your diagram. e.
