Please answer number 3 In the figure below, Sai is the long-run domestic supply curve of oil without consideringthe climate change damages resulting from burning more oil, Sa2 is the domestic supplycurve that includes these per-unit damages. Imported foreign oil is reflected by threesupply curves: Pw1 reflects the observed world price, Pw2 includes a “vulnerabilitypremium" due to national security in addition to world price, and Pw3 adds in the per-unitclimate change damage due to consuming more imported oil.$/UnitDomestic DemandP.w3PwА ВConsumption3). Economist Abba Lerner proposed a tariff on oil imports. The tariff is designed toreduce dependence on foreign sources as well as to discourage OPEC from raisingprices (since, due to the tariff, the delivered price would rise twice as much as theOPEC increase, causing a large subsequent reduction in consumption). Should thisproposal become public policy? Why or why not?

PLEASE ANSWER AND EXPLAIN NUMBER 2 AND 3Suppose that the world demand and supply elasticities of crude oil are -0.906 and 0.515, respectively. The current equilibrium price is $30 per barrel and the equilibrium quantity is 16.88 billion barrels per year. Derive the linear demand and supply equations. Now suppose the world supply curve you derived above consists of competitive supply and OPEC supply. If the competitive supply equation is: SC = 7.78 + 0.29P, what must be OPEC's level of production in this equilibrium? Now suppose social and political unrest in some non-OPEC producing countries reduced the competitive supply by 30 percent, what happens to the world price of crude oil?

home cheese alc=1hr/kg wine alw=2hrs/gallon foreign cheese alc*=6hrs/kg wine alw*=3hrs/gallon Calculate the Home country's opportunity cost of producing cheese. In which product does the Home (Foreign* ) country has an absolute advantage? Show in which product does the Home (Foreign* ) country has comparative advantage? Calculate the relative supply (RS) With trade, what is the equilibrium range that the relative price of cheese to wine will settle? Supposing that the intersection of RS and RD occurs at PC /PW = 1, what is the implication?
suppose you ar etrying to determine the aftereffects of hurricane Katrina on the economy of Louisiana. Which assumptions could be made to simplify the study? Note that not all statements may be placed. 1. consider the effects on all of Louisiana's interstate trade partnters 2. focus on just the crawfish-and catfish-farming industries in Louisiana 3. determin the effects while holding the infrastructure and factors of production constant 4. track the total net worth of the output produced by the state prior to the hurrican and after the hurricane 5. compare the change in prices for all goods

Australia is an of clothing because the world price is the domestic equilibrium price.
Country C imports 80,000 metric tons of steel from Country U and produces domestically80,000 metric tons per year. The world price of steel is $500 per metric ton. Assuming linearschedules, research analysts estimated the price elasticity of domestic supply to be 0.50 and theprice elasticity of domestic demand to be -0.25 in the current market equilibrium. Country Cimposes an import duty of $150 per metric ton that caused the world price to fall by 10%. What are the terms of trade of the Country C steel market after the tariff was imposed? Explain the welfare effects of both countries
Q.2 Suppose the demand in the poor country is P=100- 9Q and supply is P=Q. Suppose the supply in the poor country is different from the one in country A only because it faces less strict environmental regulations. That is, in country B it costs firms Q to produce Q units, whereas it costs 2Q in country A to produce quantity Q. Draw country B’s demand and supply diagram in 'autarky' with the standard axes (P vertical, Q horizontal). Mark carefully on the diagram the demand curve, the supply curve, and then work out the equilibrium (show working out and the numbers not just the point) . How large is welfare under autarky ?

Hi can you please help me with the calculations and working? Question 1 Assume D: p=2-q and S: p=q are demand and supply What's the autarky equilibrium price and quantity, consumer surplus, producer surplus and total welfare? Suppose the world price is pw=3 and that local firms can sell as much as they want at that price; what is consumer surplus and producer surplus? Has the ability to trade at the world prices increased welfare? By how much?
Suppose you are given values for C = 350 + 0.6 (Y - T), Ip = 200, G = 150, G* = 170, M = 0, X = 0, T = 190, T* = 140, t = 0 Where G* and T* are the corresponding foreign counterparts to the domestic variables without an Asterix. How do I incorporate the G* and T* values when calculating short run equilibrium output? I am aware how to calculate the short run equilibrium output without the G* and T* values. So please do not answer this question if you are not going to include the G* and T* values or are not going to provide an explanation as to how to deal with these values.
