Why might a tax on domestic consumption of resources critical for national security be a more efficient approach than barriers to imports?
(Don't copy the answer)The current conflict in Ukraine has prompted talk of a possible embargo on gas produced in Russia. Using diagrams, explain the likely effect that such an embargo would have on a) the market price for gas. b) the price charged to consumers by an energy company who purchases gas in the open market and provides it to UK consumers, focusing on the case where the energy market in UK is perfectly competitive. How will consumer and producer surplus be affected? c) the price charged to consumers by a monopoly energy company who purchases gas in the open market and provides it to UK consumers (hence, focusing on the case where the energy market in UK is composed of a single firm). d) Some commentators have proposed that the UK government should charge a per-unit tax to energy companies and redistribute the tax income to the British public to offset some of the negative effects of the current energy shock. What do you think would be the effect of this scheme in the case of…

1. Look at the figure The Market for Melons in Russia II. Suppose producers lobby effectively for the imposition of a tariff that raises the world price from $10 to $15. The points on the supply curve are (10,10), (15,15), (20,20). The points on the demand curve are (0,30), (20,20), (30,15), (40,10). How much will be imported after the tariff is implemented? 2. (Figure: The Markets for Melons in Russia II) Look at the figure The Market for Melons in Russia II. As a result of a tariff that raises the world price from $10 to $15, the country has a deadweight loss equal to: 3. Look at the figure The Market for Melons in Russia II.

The U.S. is an importer of ethanol, and let’s assume they are a price-taker in the world market. Suppose that a technological advance in ethanol production in Brazil, the world’s largest exporter, drives down the world price of ethanol by $5. Draw a graph and explain how this change in world price affects consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus in the U.S. market. Now suppose the U.S. government institutes an import tariff of $5 in response to the fall in the world price. On your graph label the revenue raised by the tariff and the deadweight loss created (if it exists). Who is likely to support this policy? Suppose that the fall in price is attributable not to a technological advance but to a subsidy from the Brazilian government to Brazilian ethanol producers. How would this affect your analysis?
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.
How would direct subsidies to key industries be preferable to tariffs or quotas?
Is it legitimate to impose higher safety standards on imported goods that exist in the foreign country where the goods were produced?
