Illustrate on a graph the United States' move from autarky to free trade in the sugar market. Assume the world price for sugar is less than the autarky price in the US. A fully correct answer will have the following: A fully labeled graph of the US market for sugar including price, quantity, US supply, US demand, the autarky equilibrium,...
Two countries produce and consume T-shirts: the US and the ROW. Problems 1-2 are based on the supply and demand schedules for the two countries given below. Note: The supply and demand curves are straight lines. Quantities are in millions of T-shirts. US ROW 32 13 28 26 10 20 18 12 12 13 14 15 This problem asks you...
Homework 2: Welfare Analysis 1. Let's say that the market for barley in the US is: Demand function: Q = 4 - VP: Supply function: Q = P-4 where P is price in S/bushel and Q is quantity in millions of bushels sold. Find the equilibrium price and quantity for this competitive market solution and graph it. Let's say that...

In this question, we study the consequences of trade policies on the automobile market. We assume that cars are all similar on the market in other words, a car is a homogeneous good). The supply of Japanese cars is perfectly elastic at a price pj= 20. Moreover, the supply...
1. Visualizing the factor-endowment theory Consider the two hypothetical nations of Golikia and Ferville. Suppose they both produce only two goods, robot vacuum cleaners and catnip toys. Each country faces a trade-off when producing the two goods. The following graph displays the respective production possibilities frontiers (PPF) for Golikia and Ferville. 20 18 olikia's PPF Terms of Trade 16 14...
a. Draw the supply and demand curves for the US market under autarky (no trade) Note the equilibrium price and quantity b. Draw the supply and demand curves for the ROW market under autarky (no trade). Note the equilibrium price and quantity. Suppose that the two countries open to trade. Describe an arbitrage strategy that will allow you to profit...

Consider the case of an industry whose production activity creates substantial pollution in the local rivers, lakes, and groundwater. For example, it is convenient for chemical companies to dump their chemical wastes into nearby lakes and water bodies. This may not impose any cost on the firms. However, the dumping of wastes into...
2 Autarky Equilibrium vs. Trade (80 points [10 per part]) Draw a PPF for The Federated States of Econesia (FSE) which can produce 1,000 diamonds if it devotes all resources to diamond production or 4,000 automobiles if it devotes all resources to automobile production. There is an increasing opportunity cost of producing each good a) Draw a point "A" on...
5. Welfare effects of free trade in an exporting country Consider the New Zealand market for lemons. The following graph shows the domestic demand and domestic supply curves for lemons in New Zealand. Suppose New Zealand's government currently does not allow the international trade in lemons. Use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the equilibrium price of a ton of lemons and...
