The economy of Ashville is currently in a macroeconomic equilibrium, as depicted by point E, in the accompanying figure. The main component of Ashville's exports consist of the raw materials that it derives from its natural resources. Suppose that the world demand for raw materials decreases sharply, resulting in a decrease in the price of raw materials throughout the world. The decrease in the world demand for raw materials, which is the major source of Ashville's exports, will the level of aggregate demand in Ashville, causing a the AD curve. shift in The decrease in the world demand for raw materials, which implies a decrease in the level of factor prices, leads to in the unit cost of production in Ashville, causing a shift in the AS curve. Use the three-point curve drawing tool twice to draw and label new AS and AD curves that shows the effect of this shock on Ashville's economy.

Consider a demand curve where Q = 20-3P and two supply curves where Q = P + 2 (closed economy) and P = 2 (open economy). a- Draw these three curves on the same captioned graph (add your graph to the appendix) b- What are the price and the equilibrium quantity in a closed economy. c- Evaluate the gains for consumers in an open economy as well as the gains and losses for local and foreign producers. (index: price, quantity consumed, quantity produced locally, imports. Make a comparison between closed economy and open economy.) Calculate the social surplus in an open economy. d- If the government establishes an import quota of 8 units, what will be the changes compared to the previous situation (open economy without protection); calculate the social surplus in this case. e- How much should the price per unit be fixed so that the results are the same as those obtained in question d. f- What should be the price so that the market is distributed one third, two thirds between local…
Suppose that the U.S. increases its tariffs on all imported goods. Obviously, this will have an impact on the amount of U.S. imports. What indirect effect will this have on U.S. exports – and why?
Consider the information in the file named HW5 - Green Paradox. Concentrate on the scenario called Green Paradox Case 1. Currently (prior to any GHG policies by the Group 1 countries) the world equilibrium price of oil is “？” dollars and the equilibrium quantity of oil transacted in the world market is “？” units. At this price, Group 1 countries are consuming "?" units of oil and Group 2 countries are consuming “？” units of oil. Group 1 countries reduce their demand for oil by 70 units through aggressive conservation policies as well investments in renewable sources of energy. They hope/predict that the global consumption and production of oil will decrease by the same amount. However, as a result of this policy, the world equilibrium price of oil will change to "?" dollars, and the equilibrium quantity of oil transacted in the market will change to "?" units. At this new price, Group 1 countries will be consuming "?" units of oil and Group 2 countries will be consuming "?" units of…
In 2019 worldwide food exports totaled $700 billion. In the same year, US food exports were $90 billion. In 2019, worldwide total exports were $20.5 trillion. In 2019, US total exports were $2.9 trillion. Calculate the Belassa index for US food exports. By this measure, does the US have comparative advantage in food products?
Consider a non-oil-exporting economy in its long-run equilibrium. Which of the following explains the ultimate long-run effect of a decrease in international oil price on the GDP of this economy? The GDP will ultimately increase. O The GDP will ultimately decrease. The GDP will ultimately be at potential output, in the absence of downward- sticky wages. The effect on GDP will be ambiguous.
Refer to the figure at right. Suppose the equilibrium moves from E' to E. An event that could have caused this movement is S A. an increase in the perceived stability of the U.S. economy. B. an increase in U.S. productivity. C. an increase in the real interest rate in the United States. D. an increase in demand for Japanese - produced goods by U.S. residents.

A country is considering restricting outward FDI. Domestic firms are arguing that establishing new affiliates or expanding existing affiliates in other countries will tend to decrease their exports sales. You have been hired as a consultant by the government to provide a report on the arguments for and against restricting outward FDI. (The report must also take into accounts the argument of the domestic firms).
Consider the following information pertaining to a country's imports, consumption, and production of t-shirts following the removal of Multi Fiber Agreement (MFA) quotas: Under After МFA МFA World Price ($/shirt) Domestic Price (S/shirt) Domestic Consumption (millions of shirts) Domestic Production (millions of shirts) 2.00 2.00 2.50 2.00 100 125 75 50 a. Use the information in the table above to graph the effects of the quota removal on domestic consumption and production. Include a companion graph for the world market like that shown in class. b. The deadweight loss associated with the quota is: c. The quota rents that were earned under the quota are: d. The gain in consumer surplus associated with quota removal is: e. The loss in producer surplus from the removal of the quota is: f. Assuming that the foreign government assigned the quota licenses, the amount the home country gained from removal of the quota is: 4.
AD/AS model. Country A is an oil exporting country. The aggregate demand and supply functions are given as below: AD : Y = 710 − 30P + 5G+3Poil AS : Y = 10 + 5P − 2Poil where Y is real GDP, P is the price level, G is the government purchases, and Poil is the world price of oil. Write down the equilibrium condition. Solve for the equilibrium value of real GDP and the price level (hint: take G and Poil as known variables). Draw the AD/AS graph to show when Poil rises in the world market, what will happen the AD and SAS curves. Explain the price level effect and the output effect due to the change of the oil price.
Aggregate Demand and Aggregate Supply - End of Chapter Problem A fall in the value of the dollar against other currencies makes U.S. final goods and services cheaper to foreigners, even though the U.S. aggregate price level remains the same. As a result, foreigners demand more U.S. aggregate output. Your study partner says that this represents a movement down the aggregate demand curve because foreigners are demanding more in response to a lower price. You, however, insist that this represents a rightward shift of the aggregate demand curve.
