Trade in Hormone-Treated Beef

In the 1970s, scientists discovered how to synthesize certain hormones and use them to accelerate the growth rate of livestock animals, reduce the fat content of meat, and increase milk production. Bovine somatotropin (BST), a growth hormone produced by cattle, was first synthesized by the biotechnology firm Genentech. Injections of BST could be used to supplement an animal’s own hormone production and increase its growth rate. These hormones soon became popular among farmers, who found that they could cut costs and help satisfy consumer demands for leaner meat. Although these hormones occurred naturally in animals, consumer groups in several countries soon raised concerns about the practice. They argued that the use of hormone supplements was unnatural and that the health consequences of consuming hormone-treated meat were unknown but might include hormonal irregularities and cancer. The European Union responded to these concerns in 1989 by banning the use of growth-promoting hormones in the production of livestock and the importation of hormone-treated meat. The ban was controversial because a reasonable consensus existed among scientists that the hormones posed no health risk. Although the EU banned hormone-treated meat, many other countries did not, including big meat-producing countries such as Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States. The use of hormones soon became widespread in these countries. According to trade officials outside the EU, the European ban constituted an unfair restraint on trade. As a result of this ban, exports of meat to the EU fell. For example, U.S. red meat exports to the EU declined from $231 million in 1988 to $98 million in 1994. The complaints of meat exporters were bolstered in 1995 when Codex Aliment Arius, the international food standards body of the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization and the World Health Organization, approved the use of growth hormones. In making this decision, Codex reviewed the scientific literature and found no evidence of a link between the consumption of hormone- treated meat and human health problems, such as cancer. Fortified by such decisions, in 1995 the United States pressed the EU to drop the import ban on hormone-treated beef. The EU refused, citing “consumer concerns about food safety.” In response, both Canada and the United States in- dependently filed formal complaints with the World Trade Organization. The United States was joined in its complaint by a number of other countries, including Australia and New Zealand. The WTO created a trade panel of three independent experts. After reviewing evidence and hearing from a range of experts and representatives of both parties, the panel in May 1997 ruled that the EU ban on hormone-treated beef was illegal because it had no scientific justification. The EU immediately indicated it would appeal the finding to the WTO court of appeals. The WTO court heard the appeal in November 1997 and in February 1998 agreed with the findings of the trade panel that the EU had not presented any scientific evidence to justify the hormone ban. This ruling left the EU in a difficult position. Legally, the EU had to lift the ban or face punitive sanctions, but the ban had wide public support in Europe. The EU feared that lifting the ban could produce a consumer backlash. Instead the EU did nothing, so in February 1999 the United States asked the WTO for permission to impose punitive sanctions on the EU. The WTO responded by allowing the United States to impose punitive tariffs valued at $120 million on EU exports to the United States. The EU decided to accept these tariffs rather than lift the ban on hormone-treated beef, and as of 2010, the ban and punitive tariffs were still in place.

Read the Country Focus “Trade in Hormone-Treated Beef.” Applying the facts of the case, answer the following questions.

a) What was the main argument that the European Union used to ban importations of hormone-treated beef? Who benefited from this ban and who did not benefit from this ban? Explain how for each case.

b) What action did the European Union take when it realized that it could face punitive actions for imposing this ban? In your opinion, what were the advantages and disadvantages of taking this action?

c)   Based on the result of the EU-U.S. trade negotiations over hormone-, treated beef, what observations can you make about the realities of

international trade in terms of national sovereignty versus national benefit? Explain your answer.

Various studies indicate that approximately 9% of the world's population is left handed. You think this number is actually higher. You take an SRS of 221 people and find that 22 of them are left handed. Test your claim at the 5% significance level.

Part a: State your null and alternative hypotheses.

Part b: Sketch the rejection region.

Part c: Calculate the test statistic. Plot this value in your sketch in part b.

Part d: Determine the P-value for your test.

Part e: State your conclusion clearly in complete sentences.

(a) Flow rate of helium carrier gas

(b) Interaction between compounds and stationary phase

Simple distillation: Separate a two-component organic mixture (1:1, tetrahydrofuran and 1-propanol)

You are the finance manager of a company and currently your company has $100 million in cash that will not be needed for a few more weeks. You are thinking about arbitrage opportunities using Euro and GBP in order to put the cash reserves into use and hopefully earn more money for your company. You have to make a decision about details of your arbitrage with regard to which currency to buy in which order. Check exchange rates, find current rates for USD, Euro, and GBP, and share the details of your arbitrage plan with your CEO. Is it poosible to find an arbitrage trade to generate some profits (assume you will have no trading costs)? If so, what should be the order of your transactions in order to make a profit from this arbitrage operations?

I received a response stating "need enough knowledge" and about "exchange rates". I am not sure what that means, please elaborate instead of 2-3 word responses.
