Question 1: ?True/False

For each of the following statements say whether it is true or false and explain why using a couple?of sentences, graphs or equations.

(a) If the domestic market is served only by a foreign monopoly and the pass-through rate of a?tariff is greater than one, then imposing a tariff will lead to welfare losses for a country.

(b) If marginal cost of serving two markets is identical, then an internationally discriminating?monopolist would set the same price in both markets.

Question 2: Export Tariff in a Large Country

Argentina is a large country exporting soybeans. Both the demand and the supply curves in?Argentina are linear. With free trade Argentina exports 90 tonnes of soybeans. Now suppose that?its cash-strapped government introduces an export tariff of $11 per tonne of soybeans, i.e., producers?of soybeans are taxed $11 per each tonne they sell abroad (you can think of it as a negative export?subsidy). As a result the world price of soybeans increases by $2/tonne and Argentine exports fall?to 60 tonnes.?[Please justify your answers with appropriate graphs and calculations.]

(a) What impact does the export tariff have on the price of soybeans on the Argentine market?

(b) What is the revenue from the export tariff?

(c) What is the total deadweight loss caused by the tariff?

(d) Does Argentina gain or lose overall from imposing the tariff?

Question 3: Trade Creation and Trade Diversion

Consider three countries: A, B and C. Producers in country i have a constant marginal cost Ci of?producing oil, with CA > CB > CC. The oil market is perfectly competitive. Country A initially?applies a common MFN tariff t to oil from both B and C. Throughout this question focus on the?effects of potential regional trade agreements (RTAs) on the home market in country A.

(a) Suppose A and B form an RTA. Could this RTA lead to trade creation? If yes, under what?circumstances?

(b) Suppose A and C form an RTA. Could this RTA lead to trade diversion? If yes, under what?circumstances?

Now suppose that country A does not produce oil at all and that demand for oil in A is linear.

(c) Illustrate a case of trade diversion in which A loses from forming an RTA.

(d) Illustrate a case of trade diversion in which A nevertheless gains from forming an RTA.

  • Feather essays is awesome, really. I can’t just say enough about how well their services are custom-made to meet students’ needs. I mean have been using other services from different websites with erratic degree of satisfaction, but this is way too perfect. I’m thankful their team understand all about essays requirement. I had an essay assignment due in two days so I had to seek for their help, at first I thought they wouldn’t be able to do it perfectly since it was the first time I was using their service. Well, I guess I was wrong. Another thing I also liked about feather essays is how they communicate with clients, so simple, they made me feel at ease even though I was under pressure. From my standpoint, their platform is very intuitive, and it’s pretty much dummy-proof. Thanks to you guys I passed, it’s really hard to recommend anything but feather essays for quality service.

  • I mostly do silly mistakes in term papers and essays, and while going through the instructions I used to get stuck after a few steps. I must say I always get annoyed whenever this happened and I had started doubting if I will make it through college. I had lost confidence in myself, I felt uncomfortable and unmotivated in doing assignments. One day I was just going through the internet looking for help with my essay, I found out about feather essay. I was not really sure if they could help me, but considering my situation I decided to give it a try. To say the least, I’ve never regretted making the decision. They are amazing, they offer instant help on assignment and term papers, and whenever I come across any assignment with doubts, all I do is talk to them. They instantly help me with my essays and explain to me everything about it. Thanks to you guys, you help me save a lot of time and concentrate on other class work.
