Scenario & Question 7: A country decides to impose higher tariffs on imported goods to encourage domestic production. This policy change impacts the circular flow of income and expenditure by altering the dynamics of international trade. In this scenario, the imposition of tariffs on imports primarily: A) Acts as a leakage in the circular flow B) Functions as an injection into the circular flow C) Has no significant impact on the circular flow D) Reduces government expenditure in the circular flow

Consider a world with two countries - USA and Foreign and a competitive market of sugar in both countries. Foreign is more effecient in the production of sugar and in a free trade equilibrium, US would import part of its consumption of sugar. Describe graphically such trading equilibrium of sugar. What would be the effect on the sugar price in USA and on the welfare (measured by consumer surplus, pro- ducer surplus and tari§ revenue) of US when US imposes an import tariffs on sugar? Argue using a graph taking into consideration that US is a large sugar importing country.
Consider a small country that exports steel. Supposethat a “pro-trade” government decides to subsidizethe export of steel by paying a certain amount foreach ton sold abroad. How does this export subsidyaffect the domestic price of steel, the quantity ofsteel produced, the quantity of steel consumed, andthe quantity of steel exported? How does it affectconsumer surplus, producer surplus, governmentrevenue, and total surplus? Is it a good policy fromthe standpoint of economic efficiency? (Hint: Theanalysis of an export subsidy is similar to the analysisof a tariff.)
Now, suppose that Island is a large exporting country with the following demand and supply functions and the free-trade world price is $5,000 per unit. D = 900,000 − 150P and S = 100,000 + 50P The Island government offers an export subsidy that increases the domestic market price to $5,500 and lowers the world price to $4,500. However, starting next month, the Island government will be removing the export subsidy in compliance with the latest international trade pact. A. What is the impact of the removal of the subsidy on domestic consumers? B. What is the change in producer surplus due to the movement to free trade? C. What is the net effect of moving to free trade on Island welfare?
Suppose that Congress imposes a tariff on importedautomobiles to protect the U.S. auto industry fromforeign competition. Assuming that the United Statesis a price taker in the world auto market, show thefollowing on a diagram: the change in the quantityof imports, the loss to U.S. consumers, the gainto U.S. manufacturers, government revenue, andthe deadweight loss associated with the tariff. Theloss to consumers can be decomposed into threepieces: a gain to domestic producers, revenue forthe government, and a deadweight loss. Use yourdiagram to identify these three pieces.

consider the domestic demand for apples to be given by Qd= 25-0.5P and that apples can be imported at an international price of $40 per basket. if the government percieves this price to be too high and decides to subsidize imports by $20 per basket. this policy will increase the imports of apples by ____ and create a deadweight loss of ____. a) 5 units, $20 b) 20 units, $800 c) 15 units, $50 d) 10 units, $100

A country (Latifundia) produces an agricultural commodity (A) and a manufactured product titanium (T). Latifundia can be described as an increasing costs producer. Before trade, Latifundia produces at a point P, where the internal exchange ratio is: 1 T = 1 A. Show diagrammatically, and explain thoroughly, what happens if Latifundia cam trade at 1 T = 2A . Specify all relevant points and ideas clearly. Given the above, reflect also on appropriate trade policy responses by the decision makers in the said country.
