The minister for labor of the Utopia (small country) is eager to encourage domestic production of bikes. A small bike industry exists, but only a few producers can survive foreign competition without government help. The country decided to help the local producers, the problem is the country has no idea what to do, some argues for 20% tariff and others thought 20% subsidy can gain same benefits to the country with less social cost. a. Show the following diagrammatically: The effects of the tariff on domestic bike output and consumption. The beneficial side effects of the tariff. The net gains or losses for the country. 4. All the same effects for the case of the production subsidy. 5. The differences in the effects of the two alternatives on the government’s budget. b. Can you describe a policy that captures the alleged benefits of worker training better than either the 20% tariff or the 20% subsidy?

There is a country which produces cars. It costs $11,000 for the domestic producers to produce one car, but they are not competitive on the world market where these cars are sold at $10,000. There is free trade between this country and the rest of the world right now. The government is thinking about applying export subsidies to promote car export.

9 Assume Australia is an importer of sofas and there are no trade restrictions. Australian consumers buy 1 000 000 sofas per year, of which 450 000 are produced domestically and 550 000 are imported. a Suppose that a technological advance among Swedish sofa manufacturers causes the world price of sofas to fall by $200. Draw a graph to show how this change affects the welfare of Australian consumers and Australian producers, and how it affects total surplus in Australia. b After the fall in price, Australian consumers buy 1 150 000 sofas, of which 300 000 are produced domestically and 850 000 are imported. Calculate the change in consumer surplus, producer surplus and total surplus from the price reduction. c Ifthe government responded by putting a $200 tariff on imported sofas, what would this do? Calculate the revenue that would be raised and the deadweight loss. Would it be a good policy from the standpoint of Australian welfare? Who might support the policy? d Suppose that the fall…
