In your initial post, address the following as part of your response:
List three products that you can purchase at a local store that are only available due to global trade, and discuss the impact of global trade on the local store.
List an occurrence (for example, an earthquake, hurricane, or war) that prevented a product from being sold in your local market or that affected the product's condition or price significantly. Discuss how frequently you notice missing products or significant price changes due to events in other countries.
Hello all, My name is Lindsey Young, and I am currently pursuing my bachelor’s degree in accounting. I currently reside in a small town in southern Iowa where I live on a farm with my sister and my puppy. I work full time and help run the family farm on the side, so I like to say that I don’t know what free time is. I enjoy being outdoors and working with youth, and my job allows me to do just that. There are a ton of products that I use on a regular basis that are not native to Iowa, or the United States for that matter. My family is a big farming family and there are a lot of pieces of equipment (tractors, discs, skid loaders, etc.) that are imported from other states and countries. I always wear a lot of Ariat Cowboy boots. These are made primarily in China and Mexico (Wabiszewski, 2023). The final item (resource) that I am able to obtain at a local store because of global trade is gasoline. Global trade can definitely have positive impacts on local stores, but don’t be fooled there are negatives as well. Local stores are able to offer a much wider selection of goods because they take advantage of global trade. Without trade, they would be limited to whatever was native to the area. In Iowa, we would have a lot of corn and cattle. There are also negatives to global trade as it takes away jobs from the home state/country. “The Economic Policy Institute (EPI), located in Washington, D.C., calls job losses
the most easily understood negative effect of world trade” (Hall, 2021). The majority of the time, it is cheaper to outsource the production of a product to a lower income country than it is to pay someone here to make it. This can be harmful to the economy because if people are not able to work, they are also not able to make purchases at local stores. If people are not buying products, local stores will be forced to alter their prices which would cut into their profits. Global trade has major benefits but has to be used wisely as to not “upset the apple cart.” I feel like COVID-19 is the most recent example of an occurrence that prevented a product from being sold locally. The pandemic shut down virtually everything which also meant that it was very difficult to receive imports from other countries. The demand skyrocketed for a lot of items and the supply plummeted. This was the case for items such as thermometers, masks, and toilet paper. These items were harder to come by because suppliers were used to receiving imports from other countries and then
sending those out. When the imports stopped, society did not know what to do. As restaurants closed
down, the need for food items at grocery stores also increased. Stores had trouble keeping items on the shelves because of the lack of transportation for the items. Not only did I struggle to get items, but I noticed the price increases as well. Items that were harder to come by received major price increases. Toilet paper was one of those items. They knew that people were going to purchase whatever they could
find, so retail stores took advantage of that. The COVID-19 pandemic was a crazy time for retail stores and global trade. I look forward to learning more about the impacts of global trade. Lindsey

Domestic producers of microprocessors send a lobbyist to the U.S. government to request that the government impose trade restrictions on imports of microprocessors. The lobbyist claims that the U.S. microprocessor industry is new and cannot currently compete with foreign firms. However, if trade restrictions were temporarily imposed on microprocessors, the domestic microprocessor industry could mature and adjust and would eventually be able to compete in the world market.
Which of the following justifications is the lobbyist using to support their argument in favor of the trade restriction on microprocessors?
National-security argument
Infant-industry argument
Unfair-competition argument
Jobs argument
Using-protection-as-a-bargaining-chip argument

Before the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) gradually eliminated import tariffs on goods, the autarky price of tomatoes in Mexico was below the world price and in the United States was above the world price. Similarly, the autarky price of poultry in Mexico was above the world price and in the United States was below the world price. Draw diagrams with domestic supply and demand curves for each country and each of the two goods. As a result of NAFTA, the United States now imports tomatoes from Mexico and the United States now exports poultry to Mexico. How would you expect the following groups to be affected? a. Mexican and U.S. consumers of tomatoes. Illustrate the effect on consumer surplus in your diagram. b. Mexican and U.S. producers of tomatoes.

The following graph shows the same domestic supply and demand curves for pears in Zambia. Now, suppose that the Zambian government changes
its stance on international trade, deciding to allow free trade in pears. The horizontal black line (Pw) represents the world price of pears at $350 per
ton. Assume that Zambia's entry into the world market for pears has no effect on the world price and there are no transportation or transaction costs
associated with international trade in pears. Also assume that domestic suppliers will satisfy domestic demand as much as possible before any
exporting or importing takes place.
Use the green triangle (triangle symbol) to shade in the area representing consumer surplus, and then use the purple triangle (diamond symbol) to

Suppose that Georgiania was a thriving empire in its golden age. Business was booming and it was the center of international
trade under the leadership of Emperor Raphael III. His empire's pride and joy was the trading of green and black tea, and he
decreed that their entire economy should be built around it. However, in the mid 1800s, Georgiania experienced a severe
economic downturn when the other nations of the world created an embargo on tea from Georgiania, which led to civil strife
due to thousands of workers being laid off.

Ghana imports and exports food from and to neighbouring Côte d'Ivoire. The latter nation is very similar to Ghana in most ways. It has a similar environment, a similar level of education, and similar institutional background. Would you argue that trade between the two countries can be explained by comparative advantage? Why or why not?
Ghana also exports food to Switzerland. The latter nation is very different to Ghana in most ways. Would you argue that trade between the two countries can be explained by comparative advantage? Why or why not?
