- Suppose only two countries produce oil, Iran and Iraq. Both can produce either 2 or 4 million barrels a day (bbd). The decision is made simultaneously. This yields a total production of 4, 6 or 8 million bbd. At these production levels, world prices are $25, $15 and $10 per barrel. Assume production costs for Iran are $2/barrel and $4/barrel for Iraq. a. If Iran has a discount factor of .31, what is the minimum amount of time that Iraq has to threaten to punish them for high production to get them to cooperate on low production?arrow_forwardWhat would be the effect of ANVWR production on the world price of oil given that E = - 0.30, n= 0.40, the pre-ANWR daily world production of oil is Q, = 82 million barrels per day, the pre-ANWR world price is p, = $100 per barrel, and daily ANWR production would be 0.8 million barrels per day? For simplicity, assume that the supply and demand curves are linear and that the introduction of ANWR oil would cause a parallel shift in the world supply curve to the right by 0.8 million barrels per day. Determine the long-run linear demand function that is consistent with pre-ANWR world output and price. The long-run demand function is Q= 106.6 - 0.246p . Determine the long-run linear supply function that is consistent with pre-ANWR world output and price. The long-run supply function is Q = 49.2 +0.328p Determine the post-ANWR long-run linear supply function. The long-run supply function with ANWR oil production is Q = 50 + 0.328p. Use the demand curve and the post-ANWR supply function to…arrow_forwardSuppose that the world price of oil is roughly $90.00 per barrel and that the world demand and total world supply of oil equal 34 billion barrels per year (bb/yr), with a competitive supply of 20 bb/yr and 14 bb/yr from OPEC. Statistical studies have shown that the long-run price elasticity of demand for oil is -0.40, and the long-run competitive price elasticity of supply is 0.40. Using this information, derive linear demand and competitive supply curves for oil. Let the demand curve be of the general form Q=a-bP and the competitive supply curve be of the general form Q=c+dP, where a, b, c, and d are constants. The equation for the long-run demand curve is A.Q=47.50-0.15P. B.Q=13.50-47.50P. C.Q=47.50-P. D.Q=47.50+0.15P. E.Q=13.50-0.15P.arrow_forward

- Suppose firms incur transportation costs to sell their product abroad. How do transportation costs affect the prices that firms charge abroad? Suppose the price offered at home and in the export market is identical, but there are transport costs to ship the good abroad. Does dumping occur? How does an increase in the number of product varieties benefit an importing country? Explain how increasing returns to scale in production can be a basis for trade. Why is trade within a country greater than trade between countries? Why would you expect sellers of branded goods with high upfront research and development costs to be more interested in free trade than producers who do not incur any fixed costs? Focus attention on the Ricardian model, the Heckscher-Ohlin model, and the monopolistic competition model if trade. Consider the intra-industry trade index for each model.

Hungary is a small economy compared to Australia and Italy and thus cannot influence foreign prices. On the following graph, the supply and demand schedules of Hungary are shown as Sun and Dun. Foreign supply schedules of grain are perfectly elastic: Australia is a more efficient supplier of grain than Italy because its supply price is $1.00 per bushel (SAus), whereas Italy's supply price is $2.00 per bushel (Sita).
