Home Price 150 120 100 50 15 20 25 35 40 45 Quantity a. What is the quantity exported under free trade and with the export subsidy? b. Calculate the effect of the export subsidy on consumer surplus, producer surplus, and government revenue. c. Calculate the overall net effect of the export subsidy on Home welfare.

Are the gains from international trade more likely to be relatively more important to large or small countries?
Assume two countries, Thailand (T) and Japan (J), have one good: cameras. The demand (d) and supply (s) for cameras In Thailand and Japan is described by the following functions: QsT=-5+14P QsJ=-10+14P QdT=60-P QdJ=80-P P is the price measured in a common currency used in both countries, such as the Thai Baht. Compute the equilibrium price (P) and quantities in each country without trade. Now assume that free trade occurs. The free-trade price goes to 56.36 Baht. Who exports and Imports cameras and in what quantities?
How would direct subsidies to key industries be preferable to tariffs or quotas?
The country of Pepperland exports steel to the Land of Submarines. Information for the quantity demanded (Qd) and quantity supplied (Qs) in each country, in a world without trade, are given in Table 34.6 and Table 34.7. What would be the equilibrium price and quantity in each country in a world without trade? How can you tell? What would be the equilibrium price and quantity in each country if trade is allowed to occur? How can you tell? Sketch two supply and demand diagrams, one for each country, in the situation before trade. On those diagrams, show the equilibrium price and the levels of exports and imports in the world after trade. If the Land of Submarines imposes an anti- dumping import quota of 30, explain in general terms whether it will benefit or injure consumers and producers in each country. Does your general answer change if the Land of Submarines imposes an import quota of 70?
