6. Welfare effects of a tariff in a small country Suppose Panama is open to free trade in the world market for maize. Because of Panama's small size, the demand for and supply of maize in Panama do not affect the world price. The following graph shows the domestic maize market in Panama. The world price of maize is Pw =$350 per ton. On the following graph, use the green triangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing consumer surplus (CS) when...

True or False, only answer part c is fine 3. (8 points) Consider a small open economy in the Specific-Factors model with 2 goods (C and F) and three factors (mobile labor, fixed capital in C, and fixed land in F). Except otherwise noted, assume that every factor has the same preferences for C and F. Under free trade, the economy exports F. (a) As the home country opens up from autarky to trade, the opportunity cost of F in...
Use the long run model for a small open economy to determine the expected effect on the equilibrium from a decrease in taxes (T). For each of the following variables, state whether it is expected to increase (+), decrease (–), remain unchanged (0), or whether the effect is indeterminate (?). Explain your answers. All variables are in real terms. (a) national savings (S) (b) net exports (NX ) (c) the real exchange rate (ε)
