Suppose that Yosemite and Congaree agree to trade. Each country focuses its resources on producing only the good in which it has a comparative
advantage. The countries decide to exchange 6 million pounds of corn for 6 million pounds of lentils. This ratio of goods is known as the price of
trade between Yosemite and Congre
The following graph shows the same PPF for Yosemite as before, as well as its initial consumption at point A Place a black point (plus symbol) on the
graph to indicate Yosemite's consumption after trade.

The matrix given below represents the pay offs to two large countries, Zombec and Firan, each importing different set of
products from the other. Each country's government must choose between two distinct trade policies, free trade and optimal
tariffs. Each policy choice represents a game strategy.

Determine the Nash equilibrium (if any) in the trade policy game described above.
O a. The Nash cquilibrium cannot be determined.
O b.Zombec will choose free trade and Firan will choose optimal tariff
Oc Zombec will choose optimal tariff and Firan will choose free trade.
Od. Both the countries will choose free trade.
e. Both countries will choose optimal tariff.
Glacier has a comparative advantage in the production of peas , while Denali has a comparative advantage in the production of . Suppose that Glacier and Denali specialize in the production of the goods in which each has a comparative advantage. After specialization, the two countries can produce a total of
million pounds of peas and
million pounds of lentils.
Suppose that Glacier and Denali agree to trade. Each country focuses its resources on producing only the good in which it has a comparative advantage. The countries decide to exchange 6 million pounds of peas for 6 million pounds of lentils. This ratio of goods is known as the price of trade between Glacier and Denali.
True or False: Without engaging in international trade, Glacier and Denali would not have been able to consume at the after-trade consumption bundles.

- Which of the below statements does NOT reflect the ideas of Trade and Globalization. In short, with which of the below statements, in one form or the other, DOES NOT match the ideas expressed? Group of answer choices Trade is a zero-sum game. If trade is good for the industrially advanced countries in western Europe and the U.S. it must be bad for the poorer countries in the world. In the late 1970s a major profit-seeking Korean textile producertrying to avoid quotas imposed by Europe and the U.S. upon South Korea, contracted out the production of shirts to a Bangladeshi garment producer. To ensure that the shirts produced would be of global quality the Korean company trained the Bangladeshi workers -thus creating human capital. In recent years, though Bangladesh is still one of the poorer countries in the world, it has also emerged as one of the world's leading garment producers. Cheap exports were the path to prosperity for many Asian economies such as Japan, Singapore,…arrow_forwardSuppose that Maldonia and Lamponia agree to trade.

The graph below represents the market for sugar in the U.S. The domestic supply and demand curves are drawn, the world price for sugar is indicated, and the effect of a tariff the US is imposing on sugar imports is shown. Use the graphic to calculate consumer surplus, producer surplus, economics surplus, government revenue, and deadweight loss. Do so under each of the following three situations: 1) no trade, 2) free trade, and 3) the sugar tariff. A friend tells you the following: “Free trade sounds good, but a country like Honduras doesn’t have any comparative advantage compared to the United States. Therefore, trade with us will exploit them and make their economic situation worse.” Explain to your friend the error in his thinking.arrow_forward

If these two countries specialize in trade according to their comparative advantage, which of the following would not be true? A) Grease will specialize in and export fish B) more of each good can be consumed in both countries C) Greece will benefit from trade more than Germany D) Some individuals in each country will be hurt Can you help me with thisarrow_forwardWhen a country specializes in the production of a good, this means that it can produce this good at a lower opportunity cost than its trading partner. Because of this comparative advantage, both countries benefit when they specialize and trade with each other. The following graphs show the production possibilities frontiers (PPFS) for Maldonia and Lamponia. Both countries produce lemons and sugar, each initially (i.e., before specialization and trade) producing 24 million pounds of lemons and 12 million pounds of sugar, as indicated by the grey stars marked with the letter A.
