Explain: “The United States can make certain toys with greater productive efficiency than can China. Yet we import those toys from China.” Relate your answer to the ideas of Adam Smith and David Ricardo
a) It is sometimes argued that, if a government protects a domestic industry (for example, using tariffs or subsidies) that is facing import competition from a more efficient foreign industry, this would be a net gain for the country as a whole, even if the foreign industry is itself protected. Give arguments for and against this point of view, drawing on Ricardo’s theory of trade, the Standard Model, and other theory that you consider relevant. Finally, does the size of the country matter?

1. Which of the following statements is true about a downward-sloping demand curve that is a straight line? The slope and the elasticity are the same at all points. The slope remains the same, but elasticity rises as you move down the demand curve. The slope remains the same, but elasticity falls as you move down the demand curve. The slope and the elasticity fall as you move down the demand curve 2. The best example of positive externality is: roller coaster rides. pollution. alcoholic beverages. education. 3. Suppose that college tuition is higher this year than last and that more students are enrolled in college this year than last year. Based on this information, we can best conclude that: despite the increase in price, quantity demanded rose due to some other factors changing. the demand for a college education is positively sloped. the law of demand is invalid. this situation has nothing to do with the law of demand. 4. Suppose…
Given the information as follows: Consider the following model of trade between Vietnam and France. Assume throughout that those two countries are the only two countries in the world, at least for purposes of trade. There are two goods: Rice and Beef. Consumers always spend 1/4 of their income on rice and the remainder on beef. The only factor of production is labor. Each Vietnamese worker can produce 2 unit of Rice or 1 unit of beef per unit of time, while each French worker can produce 1 units of rice or 3 units of beef per unit of time. There are 100 million workers in Vietnam and 70 million in France. a. Determine the product brings higher wealth to each country. b. Determine the pattern of trade for both countries using Ricardian model. Draw the world relative supply curve. c. What is the benefit of each country when joining international trade following Ricardian model? Draw the graph to clarify your idea.
Since Russia invaded Ukraine last year many sanctions have been imposed on Russia. Suppose the sanctions involve a ban on all trade with Russia. In purely economic terms, what are the effects of such a ban? Who wins? Who loses?.
How did the U.S. emerge from World War Il as a superpower? O. Although the U.S. entered World War II late, it fought in two theatres, providing it with the largest footprint of any country during the war. And because combat did not occur on U.S. soil (with Pearl Harbor the exception), the U.S. emerged relatively unscathed. Growing tensions with the USSR over postwar borders made cetain that the United States would not retreat into isolationism after the war while the development of the atomic bomb cemented its place as the strongest military power on Earth. O. Because the U.S. entered the war late, it was more refreshed than any other country and was therefore able to engage in a swift and powerful offensive against the Nazis. FDR called for an invasion of Normandy within 6 months of joining the war and within less than a year had pushed Hitler's troops back to the Rhine. When American troops marched into Berlin, the Soviets were still defending Russia. Therefore, the U.S. came…
Q2. The following table shows the output of textile and auto one unit of labor can produce in the U.K. and the U.S.: Textiles Autos United Kingdom 16 4 United States 12 6 Which country has an absolute advantage in textiles and which country has an absolute advantage in autos? What is the autarky price ratio of autos relative to textiles in each country? Which country has a comparative advantage in textiles and which country has a comparative advantage in autos? Which product should each country export? Suppose the United States has 150 units of labor available. Construct the production-possibilities frontier (PPF) and identify the optimal autarky equilibrium (using an indifference curve) for the United States. Suppose the international price is set at 1 auto:3 textile and the U.S. decides to completely specialize in producing the product in which it has a comparative advantage. How would the above graph change? Use the graph to show the gains from trade…

As a result, both firms sell their product in both markets.A) Find each firms’ overall output, market price in each market, and each firms’ overall profitB) Explain what effect free trade has (relative to no trade) on the firms and consumers Suppose a firm operates as a monopoly in the domestic (home) market for a product. The demand for itsproduct is given by the inverse demand function: P = 120 −QD. The company’s costs are: T C = 20Q+ 200and MC = $20.A) Find the firm’s profit-maximizing output and price as a monopoly.B) Find the firm’s total profit in the monopoly market.Suppose the home country open up to free trade…
