International Trade: End of Chapter Problem In March 2002, then President George W. Bush put a tariff on imported steel as a means of protecting the domestic steel industry. In February, before the tariff went into effect, the United States produced 7.4 million metric tons of crude steel and imported about 2.8 million metric tons of steel products at an average price of $363 per metric ton. Two months later, after the tariff was in effect, U.S. production increased to 7.9 million metric tons. The volume of imported steel fell to about 1.7 million metric tons, but the price of the imported steel rose to about $448 per metric ton. The supply and demand diagram shows this situation (along with an estimated no-trade domestic equilibrium at a price of $625 per metric ton and a quantity of 8.9 million metric tons). For each of the four areas listed, calculate the values of these areas in dollars. How much of the deadweight loss is due to the overproduction of steel by higher-cost U.S. steel…

- In principle, the benefits of international trade to a country exceed the costs, no matter whether the country is importing or exporting. In practice, it is not always possible to compensate the losers in a country, for example, workers who lose their jobs due to foreign imports. In your opinion, does that mean that trade should be inhibited to prevent the losses?arrow_forwardConsider two countries: South Korea and Taiwan. Taiwan can produce one million mobile phones per day at the cost of 10 per phone and South Korea can produce 50 million mobile phones at 5 per phone. Assume these phones are the same type and quality and there is only one price. What is the minimum price at which both countries will engage in trade?arrow_forwardThe country of Pepperland exports steel to the Land of Submarines. Information for the quantity demanded (Qd) and quantity supplied (Qs) in each country, in a world without trade, are given in Table 34.6 and Table 34.7. What would be the equilibrium price and quantity in each country in a world without trade? How can you tell? What would be the equilibrium price and quantity in each country if trade is allowed to occur? How can you tell? Sketch two supply and demand diagrams, one for each country, in the situation before trade. On those diagrams, show the equilibrium price and the levels of exports and imports in the world after trade. If the Land of Submarines imposes an anti- dumping import quota of 30, explain in general terms whether it will benefit or injure consumers and producers in each country. Does your general answer change if the Land of Submarines imposes an import quota of 70?arrow_forward
- Answer the questions on the right based on the following scenario: Barriers to Trade Scenario: You own Steelco, a U.S.-based company that produces steel. You and other U.S.-based steel producers have been losing customers to Chinese producers, who charge a lower price for their steel. One of the other steel companies convinced the U.S. government to impose a tariff on Chinese steel, and you want to identify how the tariff will impact how much steel you should produce. Information: Chinese Steel Current price of Chinese steel per metric ton = $600 Tariff = $500 added per metric ton of Chinese steel imported into the U.S. Price of Chinese steel per metric ton after the tariff = $1,100 Current quantity of Chinese steel imported from China to the U.S. each year = 2 million metric tons All other U.S. steel producer Without the tariff and with China producing 2 million metric tons of steel at $600 all other steel manufacturers would produce = 1 million metric tons of steel.
