If the world price for the good in this figure is higher than the domestic price, a move to free international trade means that
the domestic economy will become:
O either a net importer or a net exporter of the good, but it is impossible to say which.
O a net importer of the good.
neither a net importer nor a net exporter of the good.
a net exporter of the good.
Suppose that one country (Country A) subsidizes its exports and the other country (Country B) imposes a "countervailing" tariff that offsets its effect, so that in the end relative prices in the second
country are unchanged. What happens to the terms of trade? What about welfare in the two countries?
O A. From Country A's perspective, world relative supply will increase and world relative demand will increase. This will improve its terms of trade. The countervailing tariff exacerbates this effect
so Country A will definitely gain and Country B definitely loses.
O B. From Country A's perspective, world relative supply will decrease and world relative demand will increase. This will improve its terms of trade. The countervailing tariff exacerbates this
effect so Country A will definitely gain and Country B definitely loses.
C. From Country A's perspective, world relative supply will decrease and world relative demand will increase. This will worsen its terms of trade. The countervailing…

The cost of producing one broom in U.S is 9 microchips. In Mexico the cost of producing a broom is only 1/9 microchips. If the U.S. produces microchips and imports brooms, and if Mexico produces brooms and imports microchips, both countries will gain from trade because they‟ll each produce the good they can produce more cheaply and import the good that the other country produces more cheaply. Note that the U.S. has an absolute advantage in the production of microchips while Mexico has an absolute advantage in the production of brooms.” In context of International Business and Trade the above example of US and Mexico focuses on absolute advantage. Explain the theory of absolute advantage and comparative advantage and also how nation states are competing to gain advantage over each other.arrow_forward
- 20. Assume that two countries (Home and Foreign) each produce two goods (wheat and rice) under constant cost production. Home produces 3 tons of rice or 1 ton of wheat with a day of labour.
