A popular measure of a country’s “openness” to international trade is an index computed as the sum of the country’s exports and imports divided by its GDP. Calculate and graph the openness index for the United States using quarterly data since 1947. What has been the postwar trend? Can you think of any factors that might help explain this trend? (Hint: Be careful with the data, as some databases record imports with a negative sign and then add them to exports to get net exports. If that is the case with your data, take the absolute value of imports before adding it to exports, because we are interested in the total volume of trade, not the balance of trade.)

domestic supply and demand of rice is given by the following equations: QD=200–10p QS=20p–100 The world price of rice is pW=8 and is unaffected by the domestic market. (a) Suppose there are no trade barriers for importing or exporting rice. Find the resulting price, quantity purchased by consumers, quantity produced domestically, and the quantity of imports or exports. (b) What is the resulting consumer and producer surplus (domestic)? (c) If all international trade of rice is banned (no imports or exports allowed), what is the resulting domestic price and quantity? (d) What is the resulting CS and PS under the ban? What is the deadweight loss?
In 2010, the economy of the Utopia exported goods worth $232 billion and services worth another $87 billion. It imported goods worth $225 billion and services worth $56 billion. Receipts of income from abroad were $110 billion while income payments going abroad were $91 billion. Government transfers from the Utopia to the rest of the world were $23 billion, while various Utopia government agencies received payments of $16 billion from the rest of the world. Explain how you decided whether payments on foreign investment and government transfers counted on the positive or the negative side of the current account balance for Utopia in 2010.
Question 13 a Please help awnser the following question: Question: It is sometimes argued that, if a government protects a domestic industry (forexample, using tariffs or subsidies) that is facing import competition from a moreefficient foreign industry, this would be a net gain for the country as a whole, evenif the foreign industry is itself protected. Give arguments for and against this pointof view, drawing on Ricardo’s theory of trade, the Standard Model, and other theorythat you consider relevant. Finally, does the size of the country matter?
Suppose for a given country the demand for imports and exports can be expressed as shown below. Calculate the trade balance if E = 200 where E is the exchange ratio. Be sure to include the sign if you come up with a negative number. IM = 1,200 + 0.05E EX = 700 - 0.08E
