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?
An expected decline in demand for consumer goods in the U.S. means there will be less imports into the U.S. Less imports in the U.S. translates to a reduction in exports from China, which is significant as the U.S. has the largest GDP of all nations. As the U.S. is reducing imports, it will be purchasing less goods from China, which means the U.S. will be giving up less dollars to purchase Chinese goods with the yuan.
Will a decline in demand for consumer goods in the U.S. impact China's economy given the above information? If so, how would that affect the dollar-yuan exchange rate?
You work for a Nova Scotia Company trying to successfully enter the cranberry market in Australia. Analyze the entry country (Australia) based on the following;
What are the major exports, dollar value, and trends? What are the major imports, dollar value, and trends? Does the entry country have a surplus or deficit for trade? What are the exchange rates? Are there any restrictions on currency trade?
You should also consider sweat shops, skilled labor, employee unrest, political and social activists and labor unions in your analysis.

- A Senator announces his past support for protectionism. “The U.S. trade deficit must be reduced, but import quotas only annoy our trading partners. If we subsidize U.S. exports instead, we can reduce the deficit by increasing our competitiveness.” Using a three-panel diagram from Chapter 19 in the Mankiw textbook, show the effects of an export subsidy on U.S. net exports, national saving, domestic investment, net capital outflows, the interest rate, and the real exchange rate. Do you agree with the senator?arrow_forwardLet us assume that we have an open economy, and the world price is higher than the domestic price; this generates exports rather than imports.
