a. How would the number of firms competing in a particular market affect the likelihood that an exporter to that market would be accused of dumping? (Assume that the likelihood of a dumping accusation is related to the firm's price difference between its domestic price and its export price: the higher the price difference, the more likely the dumping accusation.) As the number of firms competing in a particular market increases, the price charged by exporters (and domestic firms) will fall dumping charge will be filed. increasing the probability that a b. Would a firm from a large country be more or less likely to be accused of dumping when it exports to a small country (relative to a firm from the small country exporting to the large country)? A firm exporting from a large country to a small country will be likely to be accused of dumping than a firm exporting from a small country to a large country because it will experience a ▼ difference between its domestic price and its export price since there will be firms competing in the smaller country.

Responding to a case brought by the Dillon Corporation, Florida of U.S., for the purpose to expand China paper anti-dumping tariff, the U.S. Commerce Department announced it was imposing a tariff of 99 percent on imported glossy paper from China. Glossy paper is the type of paper used to manufacture art books, high-end magazines, textbooks, and annual reports. In 2016 imports of glossy paper from China was estimated to be $224 million. What is dumping? Who in the U.S. loses from China’s dumping of glossy paper? What argument might Dillon Corporation, have used to persuade the U.S. Commerce Department to impose a 99 percent tariff? Explain who, in the United States, will gain and who will lose from the tariff on glossy paper. How do you expect the prices of magazines and textbooks that you buy to change?
Suppose there is a policy debate regarding Canada's imposing trade restrictions on imported semiconductors: The prime minister of Canada argues that Canada should threaten to impose a tariff on Chinese semiconductors in order to induce the Chinese to remove its tariff on Canadian cars. Which of the following justifications is the prime minister using to argue for the trade restriction on semiconductors? Unfair-competition argument Infant-industry argument Jobs argument National-security argument Using-protection-as-a-bargaining-chip argument
Dumping refers to the idea of selling goods for below their cost of production. Briefly explain the two scenarios why foreign firms may export a product at less than its cost of production (therefore, earning a negative profit on the good).
Comparative advantage and gains from trade Consider two neighboring island countries called Bellissima and Felicidad. They each have 4 million labor hours available per month that they can use to produce corn, jeans, or a combination of both. The following table shows the amount of corn or jeans that can be produced using 1 hour of labor. Corn Jeans Country (Bushels per hour of labor) (Pairs per hour of labor) Bellissima 8 16 Felicidad 5 20 Initially, suppose Bellissima uses 1 million hours of labor per month to produce corn and 3 million hours per month to produce jeans, while Felicidad uses 3 million hours of labor per month to produce corn and 1 million hours per month to produce jeans. Consequently, Bellissima produces 8 million bushels of corn and 48 million pairs of jeans, and Felicidad produces 15 million bushels of corn and 20 million pairs of jeans. Assume there are no other countries willing to trade goods, so in the absence of trade between…
Production Advantage and Opportunity CostsAssume there are two countries, the United States and France, and two goods, automobiles andcomputers.The table presented below shows the number of automobiles and computers that the United States andFrance can produce with the same amount of resources. France=100 automobiles and 55 computers United States=120 automobiles and 60 computers. 1.4 If free trade exists between the United States and France, what are the highest and lowestlevels for the price of an automobile (expressed in terms of computers)? Motivate youranswer by stating which level favours the United States and France
Refer to Figure 3.6, page 55. Assume that the graph depicts the U.S. domestic market for corn. How many bushels of corn, if any, will the United States export or import at a world price of $1, $2, $3, $4, and $5? Use this information to construct the U.S. export supply curve and import demand curve for corn. Suppose the only other corn-producing nation is France, where the domestic price is $4. Which country will export corn; which will import it?
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. ecause this country exports steel, the world price is represented by . Suppose that a “pro-trade” government decides to subsidize the export of steel by paying $10 for each ton sold abroad. With this export subsidy, the price paid by domestic consumers is per ton, and the price received by domestic producers is per ton. The quantity of steel consumed by domestic consumers , the quantity of steel produced by domestic producers , and the quantity of steel exported . True or False: With the export subsidy, domestic producers will sell steel to domestic consumers and sell the rest abroad. True False Under the export subsidy, consumer surplus is and producer surplus is . Government revenue by (increases or Decreases) . As a…

Suppose the nation of Isoland is an importer of textiles and is looking for a way to raise government revenue. The following graph shows the effect of a tariff on textile imports. Having rejected a tariff on textiles (a tax on imports), the president of Isoland is now considering the same-sized tax on textile consumption (including both imported and domestically produced textiles). Compared to the free trade scenario, the quantity of textiles consumed in Isoland will **FALL/REMAIN UNCHANGED/RISE** , and the quantity produced in Isoland will **FALL/REMAIN UNCHANGED/RISE** under a textile consumption tax. The following table shows the effect of an import tariff on the nation of Isoland. Complete the remaining columns of the following table by indicating the effect of the same-sized tax on textile consumption.

You are likely to study the gains to be realized in this industry and weigh those against Select one: A. the lower factor prices that occur in competing domestic industries. B. the cost in terms of lower national income of Canada's trading partners. C. the effect on factor incomes of Canada's trading partners. D. the cost in terms of higher prices to Canadian consumers.
What is dumping? Why does prohibiting it often work better in theory than in practice?
4. Effects of a tariff on international trade The following graph shows the domestic demand for and supply of times in Jordan. The world price (Pw) of limes is $790 per ton and is displayed as a horizontal black line. Throughout the question, assume that all countries under consideration are small, that is, the amount demanded by any one country does not affect the world price of limes and that there are no transportation or transaction costs associated with international trade in limes. Also, assume that domestic suppliers will satisfy domestic demand as much as possible before any exporting or importing takes place.
