The market for pencils has a domestic demand equation P=20−0.5Q�=20−0.5�, and a domestic supply equation P=5+Q�=5+�, where quantity is measured in thousands. The world supply equation for pencils is PW=10��=10. The domestic government decides to implement a tariff of $10 per thousand pencils. As a result of the tariff, the new domestic price of pencils is
The nation of Bermuda is “small” and assumed to be unable to affect world prices. It importsstrawberries at the price of 10 dollars per box. The Domestic Supply and Domestic Demand curvesfor boxes are:S = 60 + 20PD = 1160 − 15P(a) if the import quota is 400 boxes then what is new equilibrium price.
Consider a large country with a domestic demand characterized by the inverse demand function P=1000-Q. Domestic supply is represented by the equation P=400+Q. Finally, the world price of the good is 900. You know that an export tariff pass-through is 10%, meaning that foreign price decreases by 10% value of an export tariff t; more generally, 10% of any change in the domestic price is absorbed by the world market. a) Draw a diagram of a free trade case, label imports, consumer and producer surplus. b) Now you want to introduce export quota restrictions q. Calculate the value of the optimal export quota q, which maximizes domestic welfare. Illustrate CS, PS, QR, and DWL on your graph. Calculate their numerical values. c) Would you prefer to use an export quota or an export tariff? Explain why. Why do we see both instruments of trade policy being used? What are the advantages and disadvantages of export quotas compared to export tariffs?
The demand for cameras in a certain country is given by D = 8000 – 30P, where P is the price of acamera. Supply by domestic camera producers is S = 4000 + 10P. If this economy opens to tradewhile the world price of a camera is $50, and the government imposes a tariff of $30 per camera,what will be the quantity of cameras that this country imports or exports?
Domestic demand for fidget spinners in the domestic economy is characterized by the equation P=100−2Q, domestic supply is characterized by the equation Q=P−10, and the world price is equal to 60. Then the export tariff of 10 per unit will a) lead to a decrease in the domestic price by 10 b) be equivalent to an export subsidy of 10 per unit c) increase domestic welfare d) decrease domestic exports by 10
Suppose that a country implements a $20 tariff. Before the tariff, the country was importing 900 units of the good. After the tariff, the country imported 850 units of the good. What is the deadweight loss from the tariff? Assume that domestic supply and demand are linear.
