Problem : Trade Policy.
The demand for cars in Home is q = 30 – P and the supply of cars in Home is q = P. The demand for cars in Foreign is q = 10 – P and the supply of cars in Foreign is q = P.
a) Calculate the autarky equilibrium price and quantity in each country.
b) Who is the importer of cars and who is the exporter?
c) Write the import demand for Home and the export supply for Foreign.
d) Find the equilibrium world price under free trade. What is the amount of cars traded between the two countries?
e) Suppose the country that is the importer imposes a tariff of $2 per unit on car imports. Find the new equilibrium world price under the tariff. What is the amount of cars traded between the two countries now? Show this in a graph with the import demand for Home and the export supply for Foreign.
f) Look at figure 1 for Home and fill in the table below (with letters, no numbers) with the consumer surplus, producer surplus, government revenue and total surplus before and after the tariff.
g) Look at figure 2 for Foreign and fill in the table below ((with letters, no numbers) with the consumer surplus, producer surplus, government revenue and total surplus before and after the tariff.
h) Does Home experience a terms of trade gain or loss as a result of the tariff? Does Foreign experience a terms of trade gain or loss as a result of the tariff?

Imagine an economy with two types of goods
: Imagine an economy with two types of goods; those that are tradable T (goods that can cross borders) and those that are not tradable NT. The technologies to produce them out of labor are T(L) = 2LT and NT(L) = 4LNT. The total amount of labor in this ..
