Suppose that the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) is considering using trade policies to protect U.S. wheat farmers/producers. The USITC plans to use the following trade policies: (i) an export subsidy (ii) a production subsidy; (iii) an export tariff; and (iv) an export quota. Assume that the U.S is a small Home country in the world market for wheat.

a. As an international trade lobbyist for U.S consumers and taxpayers, which two of the four forms of trade policies would you strongly support and why? [20%] [ Approximately 200- 400 words]

b. From the remaining two forms of trade restrictions, which one would you oppose strongly and why? [10%] [ Approximately 100- 200 words]

Draw the graphs to explain the changes in consumer surplus, changes in producer surplus, changes in government revenue and the net welfare loss due to each of the trade policies that you have selected.
