The United States limits the imports of sugar to protect cane farmers, which has led to an increase in the price of sugar by about 25 percent relative to what it would be otherwise.

Assume there are only two oil producing countries in the world, C1 and C2. Each can export either 2 million or 4 million barrels of oil. If a total of 4 million barrels of oil are exported (both countries combined) then each barrel sells at $25. If there are 6 million barrels exported between them, each barrel sells at $15 and if there are 8 million barrels exported between them, then each barrel sells at $10. a) Write the “pay-off” matrix/table (i.e., the table or matrix indicating the strategies for each country, i.e., the amount of barrels they export and the revenue they make). b) Determine the Nash equilibrium for the game. c) Is there a strategy that results in larger revenue for both the countries?

Although the U.S. entered World War II late, it fought in two theatres, providing it with the largest footprint of any country during the war. And because combat did not occur on U.S. soil (with Pearl Harbor the exception), the U.S. emerged relatively unscathed. Growing tensions with the USSR over postwar borders made cetain that the United States would not retreat into isolationism after the war while the development of the atomic bomb cemented its place as the strongest military power on Earth. O. Because the U.S. entered the war late, it was more refreshed than any other country and was therefore able to engage in a swift and powerful offensive against the Nazis. FDR called for an invasion of Normandy within 6 months of joining the war and within less than a year had pushed Hitler's troops back to the Rhine. When American troops marched into Berlin, the Soviets were still defending Russia. Therefore, the U.S. came…arrow_forward6. What is a "brain drain" as it relates to international migra- tion?
