Suppose that, as part of an international trade agreement, the U.S. government reduces the tariff on imported coffee. Will this affect the supply or the demand for coffee? Why? Which determinant of demand or supply is being affected? Show graphically with before- and after-curves on the same axes. How will this change the equilibrium price and quantity of coffee? Explain your reasoning.

Suppose that research finds a link between high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and obesity, which then leads American consumers to switch from HFCS products to pure cane sugar products. The graphs show the markets for cane sugar in Haiti and the United States before the studies were divulged. Shift the curves in the graphs, including the horizontal world price curve, to describe the new trade equilibrium that results after the switch in preferences of American households, and then answer the follow‑up question. Assume that the United States and Haiti are the only non‑HFCS sugar trading parties in the world and that there are no quotas, subsidies, or tariffs distorting these markets. According to your graphs, at the new equilibrium a. all Haitian cane sugar consumers benefit. b. cane sugar producers in Haiti benefit. d. cane sugar producers in the United States are worse off.
E-cigarettes. Multiple credible reports are published detailing the adverse health effects of e- cigarettes (vaping). This is new information: the e-cig industry had been basing its advertising around alleged health benefits of e-cigarettes over tobacco products. What is the effect on the price of e- cigarettes? On the quantity of e-cigarettes sold per month? (E-cigarettes are market) Step 1. Draw demand and supply curves showing the market before the economic change took place. Using this diagram, find the initial equilibrium values for price and quantity.Step 2. Decide whether the economic change being analyzed affects demand or supply. In other words, does the event refer to something in the list of demand shift variables or supply shift variables? Step 3. Determine whether the effect on demand or supply causes the curve to shift to the right or to the left, and sketch the new demand or supply curve on the diagram. In other words, does the event increase or decrease the amount…
Pharmaceutical companies have uncovered new scientific data that assists them in producing heart medicine more easily, thus making it cheaper for the consumer. (Heart medicine is market) Step 1. Draw demand and supply curves showing the market before the economic change took place. Using this diagram, find the initial equilibrium values for price and quantity.Step 2. Decide whether the economic change being analyzed affects demand or supply. In other words, does the event refer to something in the list of demand shift variables or supply shift variables? Step 3. Determine whether the effect on demand or supply causes the curve to shift to the right or to the left, and sketch the new demand or supply curve on the diagram. In other words, does the event increase or decrease the amount consumers want to buy or the amount producers want to sell? Step 4. Identify the new equilibrium, and then compare the original equilibrium price and quantity to the new equilibrium price and quantity. Draw…

The Scenario : Suppose that the market for good X is small in Malaysia and in Thailand , relative to the world market for good X . Both these markets are currently open to free trade . Suppose also that , relative to the rest of the world , Malaysia has a comparative advantage in producing good X whilst Thailand has a comparative disadvantage in producing good X. Malaysian consider good X a normal good , whereas Thais consider good X an inferior good . The Question : Using a set of appropriate diagrams ( with demand and supply curves ), show the comparison between the Malaysian and Thai markets for good X (side by side) - when an economic recession hits both Malaysia and Thailand simultaneously. Explain what happens to the price of good X in each country, as well as the quantity demanded, quantity supplied, and the quantity imported/exported. make sure that you include welfare tables and briefly explain the welfare effects on consumers, producers, and society as a whole - for each…
Scenario 1: Because of a recent international trade agreement, the Indian government reduces the tariff on imported coffee. Do you think a reduction of tariff by the government affect the supply or the demand for coffee? If yes, why do you think so? Which determinant of demand or supply is being affected? How will this change the equilibrium price and quantity of coffee? Explain your reasoning and show the changes graphically. Scenario 2: Suppose the National Institutes of Health (NIH) publishes a study finding that coffee drinking reduces the probability of getting colon cancer. Do you think this will affect the market for coffee? If yes, why do you think so? Which determinant of demand or supply is being affected? How will this change the equilibrium price and quantity of coffee? Explain your reasoning and show the changes graphically. Scenario 3: Now, combine both the scenarios. In case if the Indian government reduces the tariff on imported coffee, and the recent study published by…
