1. From international trade, do the gains to the gainers exceed the losses to the losers?

Yes, in general terms, international trade is benefitial to the world economy. This is because of the concept of comparative advantage: countries specialize in the activities that represent the lowest opportunity cost. In other words, countries do what they do best, export their products, and import those they can't produce well.

2. Does international trade cause unemployment to rise in the U.S.?

Depends on the sector. For example, manufacturing jobs in the Midwest have suffered massive losses because companies have moved those jobs to lower-wages countries such as Mexico, China or Vietnam.

On the other hand, highly complex sectors such as computer engineering have benefited from international trade because U.S. companies dominate the market (Intel, Google, AMD, Apple, etc), sell their products all over the world, and locate the highest paying jobs in the U.S.

Briefly list five arguments often given to support trade restrictions.

National Sovereignty: some people are in favor of autarky, or national self-sufficiency, because of national defense, cultural values, or both. Over 90% of economists support free trade, and therefore, are against autarky.Protection of infant industries: some argue that infant industries should be protected until they grow and can compete. Most economists disagree, but some, for example, developmentalists, agree with this point.Cultural values: free trade can effectively erase whole sectors of the economy and change cultures. For example, Detroit deindustrialized, and became a vastly different city, it even depopulated. Economists do not usually study culture, but many of them recognize that economic efficiency can come at a great cost.Dumping: some countries have used dumping, which is the exporting of goods at very cheap prices even if that represents an accounting loss, with the aim of driving other competitors out of business. Once competition is cleared, prices can be raised. Economists disagree with dumping. The World Trade Organization has signed anti-dumping agreements for example.Food Sovereignty: the idea that consumers of food should be in control of its production and distribution. This usually implies that food should be produced locally, and fit cultural values. This idea, again, goes against the concept of comparative advantage that most economists agree with, and has little support in mainstream economic thinking.

3. Is it better for the U.S. dollar to appreciate and be strong, or depreciate and be weak?

Depends on the economic model. If the U.S. wants to become an export-oriented economy, a weak dollar could be good because it would make U.S. goods cheaper. However, a strong dollar can represent a strong economy, and project power.

4. If the U.S. dollar depreciates, what will likely happen to the U.S. trade deficit?

The trade deficit, in theory, should be reduced, because U.S. goods will become cheaper, and the country will export more. However, if U.S. goods were not competitive or wanted abroad, even a very weak dollar would not help reduce the deficit.

Recently, verizon wireless ran a pricing trial in order to estimate the elasticity of demand for its services. the manager selected three states that were representative of its entire service area and increased prices by 5 percent to customers in those areas. one week later, the number of customers enrolled in verizon's cellular plans declined 4 percent in those states, while enrollments in states where prices were not increased remained flat. the manager used this information to estimate the own-price elasticity of demand and, based on her findings, immediately increased prices in all market areas by 5 percent in an attempt to boost the company's 2016 annual revenues. one year later, the manager was perplexed because verizon's 2016 annual revenues were 10 percent lower than those in 2015"the price increase apparently led to a reduction in the company's revenues. did the manager make an error? yes - the one-week measures show demand is inelastic, so a price increase will decrease revenues. yes - the one-week measures show demand is elastic, so a price increase will reduce revenues. yes - cell phone elasticity is likely much larger in the long-run than the short-run. no - the cell phone market must have changed between 2011 and 2012 for this price increase to lower revenues.

Suppose the marginal damage and marginal benefit curves in a polluted neighborhood are md = p/3 and mb = 4 – p. also, suppose that transactions costs are low, so that the consumers and the firm can bargain. we saw that in this case, the socially-optimal level of pollution is achieved. start by computing the socially-optimal p. then, for each of the following cases, compute the amount of money transferred through the bargaining process, and indicate who pays whom (i.e., whether consumers pay the firm, or vice versa). also, compute the gains to each party relative to the status quo (i.e., the starting point of the bargaining process).a)consumers have the right to clean air; firm is dominant in the bargaining process.b)consumers have the right to clean air; consumers are dominant in the bargaining process.c)firm has the right to pollute; firm is dominant in the bargaining process.d)firm has the right to pollute; consumers are dominant in the bargaining proces
