Consider a demand curve where Q = 20-3P and two supply curves where Q = P + 2 (closed economy) and P = 2 (open economy). a- Draw these three curves on the same captioned graph (add your graph to the appendix) b- What are the price and the equilibrium quantity in a closed economy. c- Evaluate the gains for consumers in an open economy as well as the gains and losses for local and foreign producers. (index: price, quantity consumed, quantity produced locally, imports. Make a comparison between closed economy and open economy.) Calculate the social surplus in an open economy. d- If the government establishes an import quota of 8 units, what will be the changes compared to the previous situation (open economy without protection); calculate the social surplus in this case. e- How much should the price per unit be fixed so that the results are the same as those obtained in question d. f- What should be the price so that the market is distributed one third, two thirds between local…
Suppose Egypt wants to open its trade borders tothe world market for natural gas. What will determine whether Egypt becomes a net-exporter ornet-importer of natural gas? If Egypt becomes anet-exporter, will domestic supply be equal to, lessthan, or greater than domestic demand?
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?
Explain how a subsidy on agricultural goods like sugar adversely affects the income of foreign producers of imported sugar.
Consider a small country imposing a tariff of $2/unit in imported corn (Policy A). Suppose the country was importing 300 units and this policy resulted in a decline of imports to 250 units. a. Draw the XS and MD before and after the policy is imposed. Label the level of imports. b. Suppose the government decides to double the tariffs and as a result the imports decrease to 200 units (Policy B). Show this on your graph and label the new level of imports. c. Suppose the government adjusts the policy so that there is a tariff of $2/unit is imposed up to a quota of 100 units and then the tariff rate doubles to $4/unit for any imports above that level (Policy C). Show this on your graph and label the new level of imports. d. Under which policy are imports the highest? e. Under which policy is government revenue the highest? f. Under which policy is domestic price the highest? g. Under which policy is world price the highest? h. Can you think of reasons why Policy C may be preferable to a…

THE SHRINKING STEEL INDUSTRY Few industries have been harder hit by rising imports – and have made greater demands at the political level – than the steel industry. Its persistence apparently paid off when, in March 2002, George W. Bush agreed to impose a tariff of up to 30% on steel imports. The steel industry claimed that was barely enough to offset the combination of a stronger dollar and ‘‘dumping’’ by steel companies around the world because of a glut of excess capacity. It also requested, but did not receive, money from the government to pay the retirement and healthcare benefits for those pensioners who had received generous benefits when the industry was profitable. Without jettisoning this cost, the industry claimed, it could not consolidate and hence become competitive against worldwide competition. The positive impacts of such a move to employers and shareholders of the steel industry are obvious. But what about the negative impacts?…
The following graph shows the domestic market for oil in the United States, where SDSD is the domestic supply curve, and DDDD is the domestic demand curve. Assume the United States is considered a large nation, meaning that changes in the quantity of its imports due to a tariff influence the world price of oil. Under free trade, the United States faced a total supply schedule of SD+WSD+W, which shows the quantity of oil that both domestic and foreign producers together offer domestic consumers. In this case, the free-trade equilibrium (black plus) occurs at a price of $240 per barrel of oil and a quantity of 9 million barrels. At this price, the United States imports 6 million barrels of oil. Suppose the U.S. government imposes a $60-per-barrel tariff on oil imports.
