Ab 44 Economics The following graph shows the market for euros, which is initially in equilibrium. Suppose an economic expansion in the United States leads to an increase in the incomes of American households, causing imports from Europe to rise. On the graph, illustrate the effect of an economic expansion on the market for euros by shifting the appropriate curve or curves.
Q58. Your text has a discussion of various ways nations can skew income, production, and price-level data. Why would any nation choose to do so? to avoid paying its debts to avoid lower credit ratings or ease concerns of foreign investors to keep the rich from getting richer to increase its external wealth Q17. Suppose that the new international relative price of computers increases from the pre-trade price. If we then subtract the number of computers purchased domestically at the new international price from the number of computers produced, we will get one point on for computers.

There are two countries Home and Foreign. Home has 1,200 units of labor available. It can produce two goods, apples and bananas. The unit labor requirement in apple production is 3, while in banana production it is 2. Foreign has a labor force of 800. Foreign's unit labor requirement in apple production is 5, while in banana production it is 1. Suppose world relative demand takes the following form: Demand for apples/demand for bananas = price of bananas/price of apples a-b. On the graph to the right: 1.) Using the 3-point curved line drawing tool, draw the relative demand curve. Label the curve RD. 2) Using the point drawing tool, indicate the equilibrium relative price of apples. Label this point EQ. Carefully follow the instructions above and only draw the required objects. 2 Relative price of apples Pa/Pb 0 035 0.75 05 Relative quantity of apples RS

Using the 3-point curved line drawing tool, draw the relative demand curve on the graph to the right. Label the curve RD. Now suppose that instead of 1,200 workers, Home had 2,400. The relative supply curve (RS) would shift to the right (as shown by RS₁). 2.) Using the point drawing tool, indicate the new equilibrium relative price of apples. Label this point EQ.

The parliament of Ghana is debating whether import substitution should take the form of quotas or tariffs. You are asked to brief them on the difference between the two. A representative from Ghana's National Labour Party is particularly worried about consumers? Which policy (tariffs or quotas) is better for consumers?
Home has 1,200 units of labor available. It can produce two goods, apples and bananas. The unit labor requirement in apple production is 3, while in banana production it is 2 There is now also another country, Foreign, with a labor force of 800. Foreign’s unit labor requirement in apple production is 5, while in banana production it is 1. Now suppose world relative demand takes the following form: Demand for apples/demand for bananas = price of bananas/price of apples. Graph the relative demand curve along with the relative supply curve. What is the equilibrium relative price of apples? Describe the pattern of trade. Show that both Home and Foreign gain from trade.
Ghanaland is a land abundant country producing cocoa and garments. Cocoa, the land-intensive commodity is the exportable and garments, which are labour-intensive, are the importables. Ghanaland is a small country in the world economy. It takes the world price of cocoa and garments as given. Assume there is an influx of workers into Ghanaland because of political instability in a neighbouring country. Explain the effect of this influx on the production of cocoa and garments in Ghana. [Hint: read up on the Rybczynski theorem in any standard textbook on international economics).
The purpose of this assignment is to become familiar with the terms import and export, and then discuss advantages or disadvantages of buying imports versus buying domestic products. You could, for instance, write about an imported automobile, stereo, or household appliance that you bought or considered buying. Include all of the following points in your discussion: 1. If you were a retailer, would you want to sell domestically made goods or imported items? Please explain why you made this choice. 2. If you wanted to sell a good or service to customers in other countries, what sorts of items do you think you could export? 3. In your opinion, should the United States' Federal Government support companies that want to enter export markets? Please explain.
Steel Industry Consider a small country that exports steel. Suppose the following graph depicts the domestic demand and supply for steel in this country. One of the two price lines represents the world price of steel. Use the following graph to help you answer the questions below. You will not be graded on any changes made to this graph. 1. Because this country exports steel, the world price is represented by P1 or P2. Suppose that a “pro-trade” government decides to subsidize the export of steel by paying $10 for each ton sold abroad. 2. With this export subsidy, the price paid by domestic consumers is $???? per ton, and the price received by domestic producers is $???? per ton. 3. The quantity of steel consumed by domestic consumers INCREASES or REMAINS UNCHANGED or DECREASES, the quantity of steel produced by domestic producers INCREASES or REMAINS UNCHANGED or DECREASES, and the quantity of steel exported INCREASES or REMAINS UNCHANGED or DECREASES. 4. TRUE or FALSE:…
“Exports pay for imports. Yet in 2007 the nations of the world exported about $709 billion more worth of goods and services to the United States than they imported from the United States.” Resolve the apparent inconsistency of these two statements.
