2) Assume that the domestic supply and demand for a good are given by the following equations. Q= 400 - 30 P Q = 50 + 20P b. Imposing %25 tariff is much better than imposing a quota of 50 units, when net welfare cost is considered. Do you agree or disagree? When answering this question, assume that all the quota rents will be gained by the government.

Consider two countries, home and foreign and a single good, Y. Assume that home country imports good Y from foreign country. The import demand curve for good Y in home country is given by: MD = 170 – 2PY and the export supply curve for good Y in Foreign country is given by: EX = PY – 40. A) Consider the use of import tariff vs. import quota in Home country that will result in the same amount of good Y imports and the domestic price of good Y. If quota rents are given to Foreign country, which policy, i.e., import tariff vs. import quota, is preferable by Home country on the basis of its effect on social welfare? Explain your reasoning.
Consider two countries, home and foreign and a single good, Y. Assume that home country imports good Y from foreign country. The import demand curve for good Y in home country is given by: MD = 170 – 2PY and the export supply curve for good Y in Foreign country is given by: EX = PY – 40. Free Trade Price: $70 30 Units of Good Y are traded under free trade If a tariff of $15 is imposed by the home country on each unit of good Y imported, Foreign exporters receive a price of $60. If a tariff of $15 is imposed by the home country on each unit of Good Y imported, Home consumers pay $75 If a tariff of $15 is imposed by the home country the number of goods traded is 20. a) If home country imposes a specific tariff of $15 per unit of good Y imported, what is the tariff revenue? Show your work. b) Assume that instead of a specific tariff, an import quota will be used on good Y. What is the amount of the quota that will have identical effects (in terms of amount of good Y imports and the…

Domestic Demand Function: p= 100-4Q Domestic Supply Function: p= 40+2.5Q There is an international trade price equal to $15 (pw=15). Although, TheGovernment institutes an import tariff of $9 per unit. Suppose that instead of an import tariff, the government wanted to put an import quota that would make the same change in Producer Surplus as the $9 tarrif A) What is the size of this import Quota that makes this same change in Producer Surplus as the $9 Tariff? B) What is the Deadweight Loss under this Import Quota?
Assume that the domestic supply and demand for a good are given by the following equations. Q= 400 - 30 P Q = 50 + 20Pa. If the world price is $4, what is the free trade level of imports?Calculate the net welfare effects of a quota of 50 units. (Quota rent captured by the government) Use also graph to show the effects of this quota. b. Imposing %25 tariff is much better than imposing a quota of 50 units, when net welfare cost is considered. Do you agree or disagree? When answering this question, assume that all the quota rents will be gained by the government.
Now, suppose that Island is a large exporting country with the following demand and supply functions and the free-trade world price is $5,000 per unit. D = 900,000 − 150P and S = 100,000 + 50P The Island government offers an export subsidy that increases the domestic market price to $5,500 and lowers the world price to $4,500. However, starting next month, the Island government will be removing the export subsidy in compliance with the latest international trade pact. A. What is the impact of the removal of the subsidy on domestic consumers? B. What is the change in producer surplus due to the movement to free trade? C. What is the net effect of moving to free trade on Island welfare?
Suppose the world price of clothing is $50 per unit. Domestic demand and domestic supply aredetermined by the following equations:Domestic Demand: p = 200 − 2qDomestic Supply: p = 20 + 3qwhere p and q represent price and quantity, respectively. Domestic government levies an ad valorem tariff rate of 100% 11. Under the 100% tariff protection, domestic economy’s national welfare is worth _____ or so.A) $1,250B) $2,850C) $3,025D) $4,73312. Under free trade, domestic economy’s national welfare is worth _________or so.A) $5,250B) $5,775C) $6,125D) $6,57513. Suppose that domestic economy moves from the initial free trade regime to the 100% tariffregime. Then the deadweight loss resulting from production inefficiency can be calculated at_________ or soA) $416.75B) $455.25C) $525.15D) none of the above
consider the domestic demand for apples to be given by Qd= 25-0.5P and that apples can be imported at an international price of $40 per basket. if the government percieves this price to be too high and decides to subsidize imports by $20 per basket. this policy will increase the imports of apples by ____ and create a deadweight loss of ____. a) 5 units, $20 b) 20 units, $800 c) 15 units, $50 d) 10 units, $100
The domestic supply and demand equations for good A are given by Qs= P - 60 and Qd= 360-2P. The world price of the good is $90. At the current world price, how much of good A is produced domestically and how much is consumed? How much of the good is the country importing from the world? Graph the inverse domestic supply and demand equations with the world price. Show on the graph and calculate the producer surplus and consumer surplus. Suppose the government wants to support domestic producers by imposing a tariff of $30 per unit of good A imported. Compute the effect on producer and consumer surplus, the amount of revenue gained by the government and the deadweight loss. If you were a consumer of this good, would you vote for or against the new tariff? Explain your reasoning.
1) Assume that the domestic supply and demand for a good are given by the following equations. Q = 500 – 20 P Q = 80 + 10 P a) If the world price is $10 what is the free trade level of imports? Calculate the net welfare effects of a quota of 60 units. (Quota rent goes to foreign suppliers ( VERS) . Use also graph to show the effects of this quota. b) If %30 tariff imposed on the world price(10$) , what will be net welfare effects? Compare this welfare effect with the one in (a) and comment. Use a new graph to show the effects.
The Uruguay Round of the GATT began a process of phasing out the use of voluntary export restraints. Why did they come into widespread use in the 1980s? For instance, given that VERs (voluntary export restraints) are a form of quotas, and that they create quota rents and a larger reduction in national welfare than tariffs, why did nations use them instead of tariffs?
Assume that you have been hired by an International Organization to be consulted on variousissues that the country Motherland faces. For this exercise, assume that Motherland is a smallagricultural economy. (a) Motherland imports electronics from the United States. The government of Motherland is considering to impose quotas on these electronics imports coming from the United States. Would you recommend it? Explain your answer. In your explanation, distinguish the effect on the consumers of electronics, the domestic producers of electronics and the government. (b)The government of Motherland wants to jump start industrial production. Over time the main objective is to convert this agricultural economy into an industrial nation. On the basis of the experiences of Argentina and Singapore, what policies would you suggest?
