Show graphically that for any tariff, there is an equivalent quota that would give the same result. What would be the difference, then, between the two types of trade barriers? Hint: It is not something you can see from the graph.

When NAFTA was being debated in the U.S. Congress, Representative Jerry Lewis of California said: “Bill Johnson owns the largest Caterpillar distributorship in the West. There is currently a 20% tariff on his products sold in Mexico. Caterpillar has a 50 percent share of the Mexican market. The other half is dominated by Komatsu Company of Japan. Bill says, 'Imagine what will happen when the 20 percent tariff comes off our tractors and it remains on the ones from Japan.' Under what circumstances will this effect of NAFTA be beneficial, and when will it be harmful, to (i) the U.S., (ii) Mexico, and (iii) Japan?
Read the following excerpt from a 2010 Wall Street Journal article about the WTO: The World Trade Organization formally condemned European subsidies to civil-aircraft maker Airbus, concluding the first half of the most expensive trade dispute in WTO history. Its main finding was that more than $20 billion in low-interest government loans used to develop six models of passenger jet constituted prohibited export subsidies. The ruling could force the parent company of Airbus, European Aeronautic Defence & Space Co., to repay some aid money or risk giving the U.S. the right to raise import tariffs in retaliation on goods imported from Europe, such as cars, wines and cheese. Do you agree with the WTO’s assessment? Is it fair for the United States to retaliate against the airplane manufacturer with tariffs on other imported products? How might US consumers react to additional taxes imposed on popular imported products such as cars, wine, and cheese? Question: Describe the EU and why…

Explain the difference between absolute advantage and comparative advantage. Which is the basis for international trade, and why? The graph below represents the market for sugar in the U.S. The domestic supply and demand curves are drawn, the world price for sugar is indicated, and the effect of a tariff the US is imposing on sugar imports is shown. Use the graphic to calculate consumer surplus, producer surplus, economics surplus, government revenue, and deadweight loss. Do so under each of the following three situations: 1) no trade, 2) free trade, and 3) the sugar tariff. A friend tells you the following: “Free trade sounds good, but a country like Honduras doesn’t have any comparative advantage compared to the United States. Therefore, trade with us will exploit them and make their economic situation worse.” Explain to your friend the error in his thinking.

For all questions, refer to the graph on the reverse side. Use this graph for 1 – 4. The graph represents the market for coffee. Estimation may be necessary, so show work. Assuming the market outcome, and a world price of $6.50 calculate the following: Price Qddom Qsdom Imports or exports Redo all parts of #1 assuming a world price of $3.50.
