1. Consider trade relations in the United State and Mexico. Suppose that leaders of two countries believe the payoffs to alternative trade policies are as follows:

US' policy
Low Tariffs High Tariffs
Low Tariffs US gains $25b US gains $30b
Mex gains $25b Mex gains $10b
High Tariffs US gains $10b US gains $20b
Mex gains $30b Mex gains $20b
Mexico's policy

a) What is the dominant strategy for the US and For Mexico?
b) Define Nash equilibrium. What is the Nash equilibrium for trade policy?
