Trade policy. The demand for high-end Workstations in the United States is given by QD = 100 − P , where QD is the quantity demanded expressed in thousands of units, and P is the price measured in thousands of dollars. The supply is given instead by QS = P. For this exercise we will assume that the US are a small country in the world’s Workstations market and that the prevailing world price is given by P W = 32.
(a) How many Workstations are produced domestically under free trade? How many are imported? What is the price prevailing in the domestic market?
(b) The US government has decided to limit international competition, set- ting the maximum number of imported Workstations equal to 20 (thousand) units. How many workstations are sold in equilibrium in the US? How many workstations are imported? How many are manufactured in the US?
(c) Compute the tariff equivalent to the quota, or in other words, the tariff that induces imports equal to 20 (thousand) units. Compute the ad- valorem tariff, i.e. the tariff as a percentage of the prevailing world price.
(d) Assume now that the domestic producers of Workstations use only one intermediate input, that must be imported. In free trade, the value added by the domestic Workstations producers is 12. Assume now that the government is maintaining the tariff on Workstations you have determined in part (c). What would be the effective rate of protection granted to Workstations if the US government imposes a 25% tariff on the imports of the intermediate good? What if it imposes a 50% tariff on such imports?

3. Refer to the figure. The United States is currently open to international trade in the market of basketballs, but domestic producers are lobbying to ban the importation of basketballs from abroad for national security reasons. Domestic producers claim that they are unable to compete with foreign producers based on price and that eventually they would be forced to close their shops domestically. This would give foreign producers the power to cut off the supply of basketballs to the United...

Malaysian government has imposed import tariffs on imported photocopy machine from China to protect their local industry from foreign competition. Given are the two equations of domestic demand and supply of photocopy machine in Malaysia: Demand: Qd= 135 - 5P Supply: Qs= 15 + 15P where Q denotes quantity (in thousand units) and P denotes price (in RM thousand per unit). i) If the world price is RM5 thousands per unit and import tariff of 10% is imposed, determine the...
