Brazil is one of the world’s largest exporters of beef and China is a major purchaser of that beef (an estimated 30% of China’s beef imports in 2016 came from Brazil). However, in March 2017, China, South Korea, the European Union, and Chile suspended imports of meat products from Brazil as a precautionary measure in response toallegations that meat inspectors and politicians had received bribes to overlook improper meat packing practices and allow sales of tainted food. How would the closing of export markets for a country’s beef products together with a fall in domestic sales of beef products and an increase in the domestic equilibrium quantity be reflected in supply-anddemand diagrams of that country’s foreign and domestic markets for beef in the short run?

The tsunamis that hit Japan in 2011 and India and Sri Lanka in 2004 were devastating, and their effects were felt for many years afterward. Natural disasters of this type as well as international events often result in severe disruptions to the supply ofallegations that meat inspectors and politicians had received bribes to overlook improper meat packing practices and allow sales of tainted food.

Country C imports 80,000 metric tons of steel from Country U and produces domestically 80,000 metric tons per year. The world price of steel is $500 per metric ton. Assuming linear schedules, research analysts estimated the price elasticity of domestic supply to be 0.50 and the price elasticity of domestic demand to be -0.25 in the current market equilibrium. Country C imposes an import duty of $150 per metric ton that caused the world price to fall by 10%.
(a) Summarise and analyse the quantity of steel produced, consumed and imported in Country C. Analyse and discuss the welfare gain from trade in Country C. Show your answers of the steel market with a proper diagram.
(b) Analyse the effects of the consumer surplus, producer surplus, government revenue and deadweight loss in the Country C steel market with the tariff. What are the terms of trade of the Country C steel market after the tariff was imposed? Explain the welfare effects of both countries.

Assume the US market of sunflower oil was described by the following domestic supply and demand equations: QDUS = 8000 - 4 P and QSUS = -2000 + 6 P where QDUS and QSUS represent the quantities demanded and supplied (in billions of metric tons) and P is the price per metric ton of sunflower oil (in $). Now add this information: In 2008, China entered into the World Trade Organization and became the largest importer of US sunflower oil. Assume the Chinese import demand for sunflower oil from the US in 2008 was QDCHINA = 20000 - 10 P Given this information, what was the new equilibrium price of sunflower oil in 2008? (Hint: what is the total demand for US sunflower oil?)

The Energy Information Administration's forecast that world crude oil demand will likely outpace supply by 20 million barrels this year has also increased market uncertainty and driven up prices.
Companies in the US steel and alumina industries have been urging the loosening of import restrictions because they fear running short of petrol. Despite the potential market effects, analysts believe that most steel and alumina companies won't be significantly impacted because crude oil only accounts for a small fraction of their overall costs.
In general, rising crude oil prices are the result of a mix of supply and demand issues, market uncertainty, and other reasons. The price of this significant commodity will undoubtedly continue to be significantly influenced by global supply and demand dynamics, even though the precise trajectory of prices in the future is difficult to forecast.

Consider a small country that exports steel. Suppose the following graph depicts the domestic demand and supply for steel in this country. One of the two price lines represents the world price of steel.
Use the following graph to help you answer the questions below. You will not be graded on any changes made to this graph.
1. Because this country exports steel, the world price is represented by P1 or P2.
Suppose that a “pro-trade” government decides to subsidize the export of steel by paying $10 for each ton sold abroad.
2. With this export subsidy, the price paid by domestic consumers is $???? per ton, and the price received by domestic producers is $???? per ton.
3. The quantity of steel consumed by domestic consumers INCREASES or REMAINS UNCHANGED or DECREASES, the quantity of steel produced by domestic producers INCREASES or REMAINS UNCHANGED or DECREASES, and the quantity of steel exported INCREASES or REMAINS UNCHANGED or DECREASES.
