Explain how a subsidy on agricultural goods like sugar adversely affects the income of foreign producers of imported sugar.
A tariff is a tax on imported goods. Suppose the U.S. government cuts the tariff on imported flat screen televisions. Using the four-step analysis, how do you think the tariff reduction will affect the equilibrium price and quantity of flat screen TVS?
Assume two countries, Thailand (T) and Japan (J), have one good: cameras. The demand (d) and supply (s) for cameras In Thailand and Japan is described by the following functions: QsT=-5+14P QsJ=-10+14P QdT=60-P QdJ=80-P P is the price measured in a common currency used in both countries, such as the Thai Baht. Compute the equilibrium price (P) and quantities in each country without trade. Now assume that free trade occurs. The free-trade price goes to 56.36 Baht. Who exports and Imports cameras and in what quantities?
How would direct subsidies to key industries be preferable to tariffs or quotas?
Assume a perfectly competitive market and the exporting country is small. Using a demand and supply diagram, show the impact of increasing standards on a low-income exporter of toys. Show the tariffs impact. Is the effect on toy prices the same or different? Why is a standards policy preferred to tariffs?
Assume the United States is an importer of televisionsand there are no trade restrictions. U.S. consumersbuy 1 million televisions per year, of which 400,000 areproduced domestically and 600,000 are imported.a. Suppose that a technological advance amongJapanese television manufacturers causes theworld price of televisions to fall by $100. Draw agraph to show how this change affects the welfareof U.S. consumers and U.S. producers and how itaffects total surplus in the United States.b. After the fall in price, consumers buy 1.2 milliontelevisions, of which 200,000 are produced domesticallyand 1 million are imported. Calculate thechange in consumer surplus, producer surplus,and total surplus from the price reduction.c. If the government responded by putting a$100 tariff on imported televisions, what wouldthis do? Calculate the revenue that would beraised and the deadweight loss. Would it be agood policy from the standpoint of U.S. welfare?Who might support the policy?d. Suppose that the…
Part F. If home country imposes a specific tariff of $15 per unit of good Y imported, what is the tariff revenue? Show your work. Part G. Assume that instead of a specific tariff, an import quota will be used on good Y. What is the amount of the quota that will have identical effects (in terms of amount of good Y imports and the domestic price of good Y) as the specific tariff of $15? Explain your reasoning. Part H. Consider the use of import tariff vs. import quota in Home country that will result in the same amount of good Y imports and the domestic price of good Y. If quota rents are given to Foreign country, which policy, i.e., import tariff vs. import quota, is preferable by Home country on the basis of its effect on social welfare? Explain your reasoning.
Hi can you please help me with the calculations and working? Imagine a market with demand and supply as follows: D: p=10-q and S: p=q. 1. Find the equilibrium price, quantity, producer and consumer surplus, and total welfare 2. Now suppose there is a world price of $1 for the good. Which party (consumers or producers) would refuse to transact at the autarky price? Describe the new equilibrium in terms of: I. Consumer and producer surplus and welfare II. Imports 3. Now suppose a $1 tariff is introduced, making the local price $2. You may assume for now the imposition of a tariff does not change the world price. Compare welfare (including the government tariff revenue)I. With the situation before the tariffII. With the situation in autarky 4. Suppose this country is the only country in the world that demands this good. Derive a world demand for the good over the range from Price = 0 to Price = autarky Price. (hint: The world demand is the demand for imports to this country.) 5. Go back…
Suppose the world price of clothing is $50 per unit. Domestic demand and domestic supply aredetermined by the following equations:Domestic Demand: p = 200 − 2qDomestic Supply: p = 20 + 3qwhere p and q represent price and quantity, respectively. Domestic government levies an ad valorem tariff rate of 100% 11. Under the 100% tariff protection, domestic economy’s national welfare is worth _____ or so.A) $1,250B) $2,850C) $3,025D) $4,73312. Under free trade, domestic economy’s national welfare is worth _________or so.A) $5,250B) $5,775C) $6,125D) $6,57513. Suppose that domestic economy moves from the initial free trade regime to the 100% tariffregime. Then the deadweight loss resulting from production inefficiency can be calculated at_________ or soA) $416.75B) $455.25C) $525.15D) none of the above
Consider two countries, home and foreign and a single good, Y. Assume that home country imports good Y from foreign country. The import demand curve for good Y in home country is given by: MD = 170 – 2PY and the export supply curve for good Y in Foreign country is given by: EX = PY – 40. A) Consider the use of import tariff vs. import quota in Home country that will result in the same amount of good Y imports and the domestic price of good Y. If quota rents are given to Foreign country, which policy, i.e., import tariff vs. import quota, is preferable by Home country on the basis of its effect on social welfare? Explain your reasoning.
