a) It is sometimes argued that, if a government protects a domestic industry (forexample, using tariffs or subsidies) that is facing import competition from a moreefficient foreign industry, this would be a net gain for the country as a whole, evenif the foreign industry is itself protected. Give arguments for and against this pointof view, drawing on Ricardo’s theory of trade, the Standard Model, and other theorythat you consider relevant. Finally, does the size of the country matter?
Suppose France charges 2 Euros tariff on imports of a particular product. It can domestically produce this product at 8 Euros. There are only 2 other countries that produce this product: Turkey at 7 Euros, and Brazil at 5 Euros. Without any regional integration agreement, France would consume (French/Brazilian/Turkish) products. When it enters into a customs union agreement with Turkey, it would consume (French/Brazilian/Turkish) products. This is (beneficial/harmful) to the economies involved.
In situations where trade is based on product differentiation:
The basis for exporting is the domestic production of unique models or varieties of a product
demanded by consumers in foreign markets.
The basis for importing is to esnurea balance of trade.
The basis for importing is the superior products produced by foreign firms.
All of the above.

- Q65 If Canada can produce both cannabis and soybeans more efficiently, that is, with smaller absolute amounts of resources, than Brazil, then: Multiple Choice Brazil should impose tariffs. then there is no possible basis for mutually advantageous specialization and trade between Canada and Brazil. we can conclude that Canada is an industrially advanced economy and Brazil is a developing economy. it will necessarily be advantageous for Brazil to import both cannabis and soybeans from Canada. mutually advantageous specialization and trade between Canada and Brazil may still be possible.arrow_forwardThe country of Moreland is currently operating under autarky. It produces two goods, textiles and automobiles, using capital and labor. At current factor prices, textile production uses equal amounts of labor and capital, while automobile production uses one unit of labor for every two units of capital. Moreland is considering opening to trade with five different countries. Note that Moreland's capital or labor abundance, and thus its comparative advantage, may vary relative to the different countries) If Moreland opens to trade with Country A, the relative price of textiles will increase in Country а. A. In which good does Moreland have a comparative advantage? Explain. b. If Moreland opens to trade with Country B, the relative demand for labor falls in Moreland.

- 6 Consider two countries Home and Partner trading industry goods. Partner’s supply curve can be represented as follows: XSP=P-1 Home’s import demand for industry goods is given by: MD=10-P The rest of the world is represented by the following supply of industry goods. XSRoW=P-1 a) Derive and graph Home’s import supply curve and find the equilibrium price under free trade. Quantify the amount of goods exported and imported. b) Assume that Home imposes a MFN-tariff of 1 on all industry imports. Find the new equilibrium and quantify the domestic price, border prices and quantities exported and imported. c) What happens if Home removes the tariff for imports from Partner but not from the rest of the world. Find the new equilibrium and quantify domestic price, border prices and quantities exported and imported.arrow_forwardConsider a two country, two goods, one factor (labor) model of international trade. Suppose home country require 1 units of labor to produce a unit of cloth and 1 unit of labor to produce a unit of wine (regardless of output levels). Foreign country requires 2 unit of labor to produce 1 unit of cloth and 1.5 units of labor to produce 1 unit of wine (regardless of output levels). (a) Which country has the comparative advantage in producing wine? Justify your answer. (b) Which country has the absolute advantage in producing wine? (c) Which country will have higher autarky price of wine in terms of cloth? (d) Suppose after trade, the international relative price settles at a level strictly between the autarky relative prices of the two countries. At the trade equilibrium, show which country will produce wine and which country will produce cloth.arrow_forwardEvaluate this statement: “If the United States imposed a uniform excise tariff on all foreign imports, all U.S. businesses and workers would benefit. Consequently, if a bill to impose a uniform excise tariff were introduced in the U.S. Congress, it would unanimously pass.”arrow_forward
