Figure 3 shows a country's domestic market for a good. There is perfect competition. The supply curve, S, is the domestic producers' supply curve for the good. D is the domestic consumers' demand curve. With no trade, the domestic market is in equilibrium at a price of P1. The world price of the good is P2. Which one of the following statements is correct? Select one: O With no trade domestic suppliers produce Q2 With no trade domestic demand is Q, With free trade domestic producers supply Q2 With free trade domestic demand is Q2

Q.2 Suppose the demand in the poor country is P=100- 9Q and supply is P=Q. Suppose the supply in the poor country is different from the one in country A only because it faces less strict environmental regulations. That is, in country B it costs firms Q to produce Q units, whereas it costs 2Q in country A to produce quantity Q. Draw country B’s demand and supply diagram in 'autarky' with the standard axes (P vertical, Q horizontal). Mark carefully on the diagram the demand curve, the supply curve, and then work out the equilibrium (show working out and the numbers not just the point) . How large is welfare under autarky ?
If an 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? 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.
New Zealand in one year can raise 75 tons of beef or produce 750 boxes of tulips. In the same growing season, Venezuela can raise 45 tons of beef or produce 650 boxes of tulips. When the two countries begin trading beef for tulips, we expect the total surplus from beef consumption and production to: A) fall in New Zealand B) rise in New Zealand C) stay the same in Venezuela. D) either rise or fall in Venezuela.
Sometimes the exports of developing nations are concentrated in only one or a few primary products. For example, according to World Bank data, coffee constitutes almost 90% of Burundi’s total exports. Therefore, changes in demand or supply of coffee can have significant effects on the health of Burundi’s economy. The current world price of coffee is $5.00 per pound, but there is uncertainty about the shape of the demand and supply curves. The following graphs (scenario A and scenario B) show two possibilities for demand and supply in the market for coffee. Suppose that favorable growing conditions cause an increase in the global supply of coffee. On the following graph, shift the demand or supply curve of scenario A to show what happens in the market for coffee as a result of this event. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it…

Consider a small country. The domestic (home) demand is Qd = 120−3P and supply is Qs = 2P −20 whereQs and Qd are the quantity supplied and demanded, respectively, and P is the price per unit.A) Suppose the government impose a quota that limits the quantity of imports to 20 units. Find thenew equilibrium price, domestic quantity supplied and demanded, and quantity imported.B) Calculate Consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus, with free tradeC) Calculate Consumer surplus, producer surplus, tax revenue, total surplus, and deadweight loss withtrade and the tariff in place.D) How would the deadweight loss and total surplus differ with trade and a quota in place, be specific.
