South Korea to Resume US Beef Imports
South Korea will open its market to most U.S. beef. South Korea banned
imports of U.S. beef in 2003 amid concerns over a case of mad cow disease in
the United States. The ban closed what was then the third-largest market for
U.S. beef exporters.

For many years, various groups have accused China of "dumping" exports onto the US market. That is, they claim that the Chinese government subsidizes Chinese exporting firms to allow them to sell at lower prices than US firms and/or lower than sellers from other countries. Some trade policy analysts argue that the US is harmed by this dumping behavior and that the US should impose restrictions on imports from China. Use a supply and demand diagram to assess this argument. Do you agree with the argument made and policy prescribed by the trade analysts?arrow_forwardSuppose a decrease in the world demand for desktop computers causes the price of desktop computers to fall from $600 to $500.
