State A is a landlocked State neighbouring two coastal States: the Republic of B and the Kingdom of C. The three States have ratified the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. On 15 December 2015, seventeen nationals of State A were arrested by the authorities of State B while fishing in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of the coastal State, without permission. The arresting authorities claimed that the vessel used by the State A nationals in their illegal fishing polluted the area through excessive discharge of oil caused by a defect in the vessel. While the State A nationals were released and returned home, their vessel was detained by State B’s authorities. Can landlocked State A’s nationals fish in the exclusive economic zone of the state B? Define the other state’s rights on exclusive economic zone briefly

After seven years of negotiations, 12 countries—including the United States, Japan, Vietnam, and nine other Pacific Rim countries—crafted the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). A key feature of the TPP was the lifting of tariffs on many products traded between the member countries, ranging from agriculture to footwear. Before the United States ultimately pulled out of the deal, each member country went through the process of ratifying the agreement, with numerous domestic firms and collective interests voicing opposition. In the United States, New Balance was one of these opposing firms, specifically stating its disapproval of phasing out U.S. tariffs on shoes made in Vietnam. ● What would a reduction of U.S. tariffs on Vietnamese shoes do to the supply of Vietnamese shoes in the United States? ● What impact would this have on the equilibrium quantity of shoes sold in the United States? ● Would the tariff reduction cause the equilibrium price for shoes in the United…

After seven years of negotiations, 12 countries—including the United States, Japan, Vietnam, and nine other Pacific Rim countries—signed the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). A key feature of the TPP is the lifting of tariffs on many products traded between the member countries, ranging from agriculture to footwear. As each member country went through the process of ratifying the agreement, numerous domestic firms and collective interests voiced opposition. In the United States, New Balance was one of these opposing firms, specifically stating its disapproval of phasing out U.S. tariffs on shoes made in Vietnam. What would a reduction of U.S. tariffs on Vietnamese shoes do to the supply of Vietnamese shoes in the United States? What impact would this have on the equilibrium quantity of shoes sold in the United States? Would the tariff reduction cause the equilibrium price for shoes in the United States to increase or decrease? Explain.

Two firms, A and B, are contemplating exporting a local fruit called durian to another country that has strong demand for durian. If both firms export their durians, each firm can earn an export revenue of $25 million. If both firms do not export, each firm can earn a revenue of $12 million from their own domestic market. If one of them exports durians and the other does not export, the firm that exports durians can earn an export revenue of $50 million. But the non-exporting firm will earn a revenue of $18 million. (a)If both firms make a decision simultaneously, construct and analyse a payoff matrix and solve for the Nash equilibrium. Explain whether this is the prisoner’s dilemma game. (b) Suppose Firm A can make a decision before Firm B. Construct and analyse a decision tree model and determine the payoffs to both firms. Does timing matter in this game?

You are an employee of a U.S. firm that produces personal computers in Thailand and then exports them to the United States and other countries for sale. The personal computers were originally produced in Thailand to take advantage of relatively low labor costs and a skilled workforce. Other possible locations considered at the time were Malaysia and Hong Kong. The U.S. government decides to impose punitive 100 percent ad valorem tariffs on imports of computers from Thailand to punish the country for administrative trade barriers that restrict U.S. exports to Thailand. How should your firm respond? What does this tell you about the use of targeted trade barriers?
