C. If Oman allowing an export subsidy to our vegetable exporters to UAE, Diagrammatically explain its effects on the Oman market (Exporting country) and as an importing country to UAE market. Your answer can limit based on following theoretical assumptions: Suppose that there are two countries Home (Oman) and Foreign (UAE). Both countries consume and produce vegetables, which can be costless transported between these countries. In each country, it is a competitive industry. Suppose that in the absence of trade the price of vegetables at Home is less than the corresponding price at Foreign.

China’s entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2001 created more competition between local and foreign firms, and also provided China greater access to the market for exports. This was particularly true in the market for rubber since, at the time, China was the world’s second largest consumer of rubber (China is now the world’s largest consumer of rubber). Shortly after joining the WTO, China eliminated its import quota on rubber. What impact do you think the import quota reduction likely had on the price of rubber and the quantity of rubber exchanged in China? What implications do you think the elimination of the quota on rubber had on China’s social welfare?
During the 1980s, most of the world’s supply of lysine was produced by a Japanese company named Ajinomoto. Lysine is an essential amino acid that is an important livestock feed component. At this time, the United States imported most of the world’s supply of lysine—more than 30,000 tons—to use in livestock feed at a price of $1.65 per pound. The worldwide market for lysine, however, fundamentally changed in 1991 when U.S.-based Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) began producing lysine—a move that doubled worldwide production capacity. Experts conjectured that Ajinomoto and ADM had similar cost structures and that the marginal cost of producing and distributing lysine was approximately $0.70 per pound. Despite ADM’s entry into the lysine market, suppose demand remained constant at Q = 208 − 80P (in millions of pounds). Shortly after ADM began producing lysine, the worldwide price dropped to $0.70. By 1993, however, the price of lysine shot back up to $1.65. Use the theories discussed in this…
If economy is open to foreign trade of good X, imposing a tariff will reduce total surplus (total surplus being defined as consumer + producer surplus). Which of the following ideas best describes why we observe tariffs being use in practice? Basically, what is the effect of tarrifs? a. The government can be under political pressure to implement inefficient economic policy. b. The tariff revenue raised will outweigh efficiency losses. c. Economic analysis does not fully explain efficiency losses. d. Economic stability is not often a political incentive.
answer the following in 2-4 sentences a) Assume that the United States constitutes one agricultural market, centered around New York City, the largest metropolitan area. To what extent can the major agricultural regions of the United States be viewed as irregularly shaped rings around the market center, as von Thunen applied to southern Germany? b) New Zealand once sold nearly all its dairy products to the British, but since the United Kingdom joined the European Union in 1973, New Zealand has been forced to find other markets. What are some other examples of countries that have restructured their agricultural production in the face of increased global interdependence and regional cooperation. c) Review the concept of overpopulation. What agricultural regions have relatively limited capacities to support intensive food production? Which of those regions face rapid population growth?
Suppose that only one firm, Big Foot, sells footballs in the country and international trade of footballs including both exporting and importing is prohibited by government due to Big Foot’s successful lobby. The following equations indicates Big Foot’s market demand and total cost:• Demand: P = 5-0.5Q• Total Cost: TC = 1.5 + 0.5Q + 0.25 Q2where Q is quantity (in 1000) and P is the price measured in dollars. (i) Determine how many footballs Big Foot chooses to produce, the price it will set for its product and its expected profit. Illustrate your analysis with a propermarket diagram.(ii) Evaluate the size of deadweight loss cause by monopoly status of Big Foot. Suppose that the parliament passed a new law that not only allows everyone to sell footballs but also opens international trade of footballs. Suppose further that the market demand in the country remains the same while the price of football in the competitive global market is $3 including shipping and importation fee. Analyse…
Consider two countries, i = {Spain, France} each having the following inverse demand function: P = 20 − 2Q Assume that there is only one firm in each country with the following cost function: TC = 2q Transport costs are absent. a) Start by considering a situation of autarky. Determine the equilibrium quantity and price in Spain. b) Compute total welfare in Spain under autarky (the sum of the consumer and producer surpluses). c) Now suppose that Spain opens up to international trade. Firms compete in quantities and transport costs are absent. In equilibrium determine (i) the quantity sold by the Spanish firm in Spain; (ii) the quantity sold by the French firm in Spain; (iii) the quantity sold by the Spanish firm in France; and (iv) the price of the good in Spain. d) Compute total welfare in Spain (the sum of the consumer and producer surpluses).
If firms are in a competitive market, firms use marginal cost=price as a price-setting rule. Why multinational firms do not follow the price-setting rule like the firms in the competitive market (or why exporting firms do not follow the price-setting rule)? Your answer should be based on the characteristic market and the internal economies of scale. What is the price-setting rule for multinational firms?
Assume that the domestic supply curve for crude oil is S(P) = 5P and the domestic demand curve for crude oil is D(P)=500-20P. Further assume that domestic oil refiners face a perfectly elastic supply of oil imports at P = 16. a. Derive the domestic price, the quantity processed by domestic oil refiners, and the amount of imports at the competitive equilibrium. Show the results on a well-labeled graph. Now suppose that the domestic crude oil suppliers face a price ceiling of 8. Further suppose that for each two units of crude oil purchased, a domestic oil refiner gets one entitlement to domestic crude oil. Derive the marginal price of crude oil faced by domestic oil refiners. Add this to the graph in part (a). Derive the effect of regulation on the amount of crude oil processed by domestic oil refiners and the amount of imports. Show this on the graph from part (a). Derive the welfare effect of regulation on U.S. Shade in the welfare losses in the graph for part (a).
Part F. If home country imposes a specific tariff of $15 per unit of good Y imported, what is the tariff revenue? Show your work. Part G. Assume that instead of a specific tariff, an import quota will be used on good Y. What is the amount of the quota that will have identical effects (in terms of amount of good Y imports and the domestic price of good Y) as the specific tariff of $15? Explain your reasoning. Part H. 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.
According to an article in China Daily, China recently accelerated its plan to privatize tens of thousands of state-owned firms. Imagine that you are an aide to a senator on the Foreign Relations Committee of the U.S. Senate, and you have been asked to help the committee determine the price and quantity that will prevail when competitive forces are allowed to equilibrate the market. The best estimates of the market demand and supply for the good (in U.S. dollar equivalent prices) are given by: Qd=12 -2P and Qs=-4 + 2P, respectively. a. Determine the competitive equilibrium price and quantity b. Based on your answer to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in question (2a), one of the senators raises a concern that the free market price might be too high for the typical Chinese citizen to pay. Accordingly, she asks you to explain what would happen if the Chinese government privatized the market, but then set a price at the Chinese equivalent of $3.00. How do you answer? What…
Explain and discuss the role of imports in an open competitive market. In you answer cover the followings: a) In what circumstances the market may have a necessity to import a particular good? Explain your answer using appropriate graph. b) How does a tariff on import affect the market and what problems does this kind of intervention create?Explain you answer using appropriate graph.
