True or False: A country can maximize its gains from trade by
producing at the autarkic equilibrium and trading at the relative
world price. Justify your answer and explain with the help of a
properly labelled graph.
Moving from autarky to free trade generates gains for a country.
What are the sources of these gains and explain how each results in
a gain for the country.
TRUE/FALSE
When a country allows free trade of a good, if the world price
is higher than the domestic price
TRUE/FALSE
If a country’s domestic price of a good is lower than the world
price, then that country has a comparative advantage in producing

When a country that imports shoes imposes a tariff on shoes,
buyers of shoes in that country become worse off
TRUE/FALSE.
If a small country imposes a tariff on an imported good,

In the aggregate trade model, we showed that gains can be made
from international trade. Exactly how does this work-that is, what
are the gains exactly?
Draw a graph that shows gains from trade (PPF and SIC graph).
Draw your graph so that, when trade opens, production increase for
the good on the vertical axis.
True or False: There is a public good which can be provided for
citizens of country A and citizens of country B. This particular
public good can either be produced (one unit) or not (zero units).
Country A has 10 citizens who all have a marginal private benefit
of the public good valued at 8 and Country B has 2 citizens who all
have a marginal private benefit of the public good at 40. Country B
is more likely to...
Graph and explain using the Ricardian model: Consumption gains
from trade, Production gains from Trade. Assume that the country is
producing only goods X and Y, and that the international relative
price of X is lower than the domestic relative price of X.
True or false:
1) A country with negative net exports has a trade surplus.
2) When net capital outflow is negative, it means that on net
the value of domestic assets purchased by foreigners exceeds the
value of foreign assets purchased by domestic residents.
3) By itself, when a Japanese bank purchases a bond issued by a
U.S. corporation, U.S. net capital outflow rises.
4) By itself, if a U.S. firm builds a new factory overseas, U.S.
net capital outflow...
