Suppose Japan is a small rice importer. At the world free trade price, Japan's domestic production of rice is Q1. In autarky, Japan's domestic production of rice will be Q2. The Japanese government believes that to preserve Japanese rice growing culture, the domestic rice production should be at Q3 and Q1

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"

Questions 12-15 refer to the simple (free) trade model graph of country A on the right that shows what happens to welfare of consumers, producers, and total, when country A opens its border to trade. The domestic price and world price are Pp and Pw, respectively. The equilibrium quantity under autarky (no trade) is Qp. After trade, domestic producers supply Qa and (Qw Qa) is imported from the rest of the world. Domestic Supply (S) Price (in US $) ↑ G PD H Pw Export Supply K Domestic Demand (D) 12.

If a country's domestic price of lumber is below the world price of lumber, the country will likely: import lumber. export lumber. have an absolute advantage in lumber production. have a surplus of lumber.

Based on the information from the previous graph, absent international trade total surplus is $ The following graph shows the same domestic supply and demand curves for melons in Bangladesh. Now, suppose that the Bangladeshi government changes its stance on international trade, deciding to allow free trade in melons. The horizontal black line (Pw) represents the world price of melons at $500 per ton. Assume that Bangladesh's entry into the world market for melons has no effect on the world price and there are no transportation or transaction costs associated with international trade in melons. Also assume that domestic suppliers will satisfy domestic demand as much as possible before any exporting or importing takes place. Use the green triangle (triangle symbol) to shade in the area representing consumer surplus, and then use the purple triangle (diamond-symbol) to shade in the area representing producer surplus. PRICE (Dollars per ton) 660 Domestic Demand Domestic Supply 620 580 540…

If Indonesia (which is a small country) imposes an import tariff on textile imports, we can conclude that:(a) The world price of textile rises, and Indonesia imports less.(b) The world price of textile stays constant, and Indonesia imports less.(c) The world price of textile falls, and Indonesia imports less.(d) The world price of textile stays constant, and Indonesia imports the same as before.  Explain why.

Vietnam has a policy of free trade in motorcycles which are sold in world markets at a price of 10,000 per motorcycle. Under free trade, Vietnam produces 100,000 motorcycles and imports 100,000 motorcycles. To provide some protection to the domestic industry, Vietnam imposes an import tariff of $1500 per motorcycle. With this tariff in place, production in Vietnam rises by 5,000 motorcycles and consumption drops by the same amount. Calculate the effects of the tariff on: a. Consumer Surplus b. Producer Surplus c. Government Revenues d. Overall Welfare e. If the tariff imposed by the Vietnamese had led to small reduction in world prices of, say, 250 dollars, how, qualitatively, would the welfare calculations (a), (b), (c) and (d) above change?

A country decides to impose higher tariffs on imported goods to encourage domestic production. This policy change impacts the circular flow of income and expenditure by altering the dynamics of international trade. In this scenario, the imposition of tariffs on imports primarily:A) Acts as a leakage in the circular flowB) Functions as an injection into the circular flowC) Has no significant impact on the circular flowD) Reduces government expenditure in the circular flow   Note:- Please avoid using ChatGPT and refrain from providing handwritten solutions; otherwise, I will definitely give a downvote.

Suppose Zambia is open to free trade in the world market for soybeans. Because of Zambia's small size, the demand for and supply of soybeans in Zambia do not affect the world price. The following graph shows the domestic soybeans market in Zambia. The world price of soybeans is Pw = $400 per ton. Throughout this problem, assume that changes in trade policies in other nations do not significantly affect the world market for soybeans and that there are no transportation or transaction costs associated with international trade in soybeans. 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 perton) 1200 Domestic Demand…

The small nation of Capralia has an abundant stock of Pashmina goats, a breed that yields high-quality cashmere. Capralia's authorities are still debating whether to open their economy to international trade. The international price of cashmere is $70,000 per metric ton, and the Capralian cashmere sells for $50,000 per metric ton. Place the consumer surplus triangle (CS) and the producer surplus triangle (PS) to correctly depict consumer and producer surplus if Capralia chooses to open its borders to the international cashmere trade. 100 Price (metric ton) 90 80 70 80 50 40 30 20 10 10 0 Capralia's Domestic Cashmere Market 6 domestic supply domestic equilibrium 12 18 24 30 36 42 Quantity (thousands of metric tons) 48 54 60 CS Capralia will import 36,000 metric tons of cashmere.
