Economics
A trade expert compares the modern tariffs to the
Depression-era Smoot-Hawley tariffs. He says
“The economic impact is going to take years to
play out." What was the effect of the Smoot-
Hawley tariffs on U.S. trade?
a) Both imports and exports rose by nearly about the same amount, the trade
balance remained about the same, and the total volume of trade increased.
b) Both imports and exports fell by nearly about the same amount, the trade
balance remained about the same, and the total volume of trade decreased.
c) Imports decreased, and the trade balance increased. The total volume of
trade was nearly unchanged.
d) Imports decreased, and the trade balance was nearly unchanged. The total
volume of trade decreased.

International Trade - End of Chapter Problem
The United States is the fifth largest sugar consumer and the fifth largest sugar producer in the world. The U.S. sugar industry
has enjoyed trade protection since 1789 when Congress enacted the first tariff against foreign-produced sugar.
The accompanying graph depicts the supply and demand for sugar in the United States in 2019. The world price for sugar was
$0.12 per pound.
a. The United States enacts an import tariff of 6 cents per pound. In the accompanying graph, place the line labeled "World price
+ tarill" in the graph to reflect this tariff.

Trade. How does specialization and trade make individuals and countries wealthier?
Think about why countries benefit from foreign trade. Also consider a scenario where Country A is more
productive than Country B at producing all goods. Why is it still in Country A’s best interest to trade with
Country B?

One way is to enact tariffs, which tax imports. This immediately raises the price of imported goods, making them less competitive when compared to locally produced goods. This works especially well for a country like the U.S., which imports a lot of consumer products and oil. The most famous example is the Smoot-Hawley Tariff of 1930. It was originally designed to protect farmers from agricultural imports from Europe, which was stepping up farming after the destruction of World War I.

- Question 1 Table 1 illustrates the supply and demand schedules for cheeses in Sweden and Norway. On graph paper, draw the supply and demand schedules for each country. a. In the absence of trade, what are the equilibrium price and quantity of cheeses produced in Sweden and Norway? Which country has the comparative advantage in cheeses? b. Assume there are no transportation costs. With trade, what price brings about balance in exports and imports? How many cheeses are traded at this price? How many cheeses are produced and consumed in each country with trade? c. Suppose the cost of transporting each cheese from Sweden to Norway is $5. With trade, what is the impact of the transportation cost on the price of the traded product in each trading nation? The extent of specialization? The volume of trade?

- Highlight two important facts in this document, that show how trade is affecting daily life in Africa. Document: “During the seventh century, Islam spread quickly through the Middle East and North Africa. In the eight century, trans-Saharan trade brought Muslim merchants and traders to West Africa. Over the next few hundred years, Islam spread among West Africans…Both Mali and Songhai eventually accepted Islam. The new faith left a lasting mark on the culture of West Africa. West Africans often blended Islamic culture with their own traditions. For example, West Africans who became Muslims began praying to God in Arabic. They built mosques as places of workshop. Yet they also continued to pray to the spirits of their ancestors, as they had done for centuries… As Islam spread in West Africa, people adopted new religious practices and ethical values. African Muslims learned Islam’s Five Pillars of Faith. They prayed in Arabic, fasted, worshiped in mosques, went on…arrow_forwardIf the United States were to lift existing tariffs on steel imports: Question 32 options: A.the supply of steel shifts to the right and lowers its market price.
