    • D.

      I) remain at $100 per ton; ii) $150 per ton; iii) rise by $50 per ton and iv) fall

    • E.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    D. I) remain at $100 per ton; ii) $150 per ton; iii) rise by $50 per ton and iv) fall
    Explanation
    The correct answer is i) remain at $100 per ton; ii) $150 per ton; iii) rise by $50 per ton and iv) fall. This is because the world price of sugar is determined by global supply and demand factors and is not affected by the subsidy given by the small country. The country's exporters will receive the world price of sugar plus the subsidy, which totals $150 per ton. The domestic price of sugar will rise by the amount of the subsidy, which is $50 per ton. The subsidy will lead to a decrease in domestic consumption of sugar, causing it to fall.

    • E.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    C. I) 40 tons; ii)30 tons; iii) 50 tons; iv) 30 tons v) $80 per ton; and vi) $500; and vii) 800
    Explanation
    At the world price of $70 per ton, the domestic demand for iron ore is 40 tons (i) and the domestic supply is 30 tons (ii). This means that the country will export the excess supply, which is 10 tons (ii - i). If the government offers an export subsidy of $10 per ton, the country will export 50 tons (iii), as the subsidy makes exporting more profitable. With the export subsidy, the domestic supply decreases to 20 tons (iv), as producers are incentivized to export more. The price paid by domestic consumers with the export subsidy is $80 per ton (v), as the subsidy increases the price. The total value of the export subsidy received by exporters is $500 (vi), calculated by multiplying the subsidy per ton by the quantity exported. If the government offered a $10 per ton production subsidy instead, producers would receive $800 in revenue (vii), calculated by multiplying the subsidy per ton by the quantity produced domestically.

    Correct Answer
    C. I) 50, 75; ii) decreases by $50; iii) decrease, $1,875; iv) $12,500; v)7.600; and vi) providing cash subsidy to consumer
    Explanation
    According to the figure, if the world price of the product is $100, the home demand for the product is 50 and the exports are 75. If the home country provides a subsidy of $100, the large country will cause the world price to decrease by $50. Due to the subsidy, the consumer surplus decreases by $1,875. The revenue cost for the government is $12,500. The deadweight loss due to the subsidy is $7,600. The subsidy in the large-country case causes a deadweight loss, which can be avoided by providing cash subsidy to consumers.

    Development assistance in the form of food aid is best administered by which of the following?

    • A.

      Through subsidies to home-country farmers which encourage them to produce more food to distribute around the world

    • B.

      By restricting imports from countries

    • C.

    • D.

      By providing cheap loans to poor countries to purchase home-country food

    • E.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    C. By giving united cash contributions, which will be used to purchase food for as assistance
    Explanation
    The best way to administer development assistance in the form of food aid is by giving united cash contributions, which will be used to purchase food for assistance. This approach allows for flexibility and efficiency in the distribution process, as cash contributions can be used to buy food from various sources, including local markets, ensuring that the aid reaches those in need quickly and effectively. It also supports local economies and farmers by stimulating demand for their products. By providing cash contributions, the aid can be tailored to the specific needs and preferences of the recipients, promoting self-sufficiency and sustainability.

    For a small nation employing a production subsidy, domestic producers get a payment for every good produced, and domestic consumers:

    • A.

      Get to purchase the product at the world price the same as before the subsidy.

    • B.

      Have to pay a higher price for the product

    • C.

      Get a reduced price for the product

    • D.

      Purchase more of the product

    • E.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Get to purchase the product at the world price the same as before the subsidy.
    Explanation
    When a small nation employs a production subsidy, domestic producers receive a payment for every good they produce. However, domestic consumers are not directly affected by the subsidy and continue to purchase the product at the world price, which remains the same as before the subsidy was implemented. Therefore, the correct answer is that domestic consumers get to purchase the product at the world price the same as before the subsidy.

    Considering the payoff matrix for Airbus above, which of the following options is a Nash equilibrium?

    • A.

      Boeing produces and Airbus does not produce

    • B.

      Boeing does not produce and Airbus produces

    • C.

      Boeing does not produce and Airbus does not produce

    • D.

      Boing produces and Airbus does not produces; Boing does not produce and Airbus produces

    • E.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    D. Boing produces and Airbus does not produces; Boing does not produce and Airbus produces
    Explanation
    The given answer is a Nash equilibrium because in this scenario, neither Boeing nor Airbus has an incentive to change their strategy. If Boeing produces and Airbus does not produce, Boeing earns a payoff of 5, which is the highest possible payoff for Boeing given Airbus's strategy. Similarly, if Boeing does not produce and Airbus produces, Airbus earns a payoff of 4, which is the highest possible payoff for Airbus given Boeing's strategy. Therefore, both Boeing and Airbus are playing their best response strategies, resulting in a Nash equilibrium.

    The payoff matrix above shows the outcomes of various strategies that Airbus and Boeing might follow in response to action on the part of the other company. This payoff matrix describes actions in developing so-called super-jumbo jets that can carry 600 or more passengers. In each element, the lower left value gives the outcome for Boeing based on the action of Airbus and the upper right value gives the outcome for Airbus based on the action of Boeing. For example, in element A, each company will lose $10 million if they both decide to produce super-jumbo jets. i) Which element(s) is a (are) Nash equilibrium (equilibria)?__; ii) Boeing has decided not to produce super-jumbo jets. Instead, it will continue to market its 450-passenger 747s. Which elements represent this decision?__; iii) If Boeing decide not to produce super-jumbo jets. Instead, it will continue to market its 450-passenger 747s. However, Airbus will produce super-jumbo jets. Which element represents their joint decisions?__; and iv) Boeing has decided not to produce super-jumbo jets. Instead, it will continue to market its 450-passenger 747s. However, Airbus will produce super-jumbo jets. Is Boeing's decision correct?__

    • A.

      I) B and C; ii) B and D; iii) C; and iv) yes, because it will neither lose nor earn more profits by producing super-jumbo jet

    • B.

      I) A and C; ii) C and D; iii) B; and iv) No, because it would lose profits if it produced a super-jumbo jet

    • C.

      I) B and D; ii) B and D; iii) A; and iv) No, because it would earn more profits if it produced a super-jumbo jet.

    • D.

      I) B and C; ii) C and D; iii) C; and iv) yes, because it would lose profits if it produced a super-jumbo jet.

    • E.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    D. I) B and C; ii) C and D; iii) C; and iv) yes, because it would lose profits if it produced a super-jumbo jet.
    Explanation
    The Nash equilibrium occurs when both players have chosen a strategy and neither has an incentive to deviate from their choice. In this case, the Nash equilibria are elements B and C, where both Airbus and Boeing have chosen to produce super-jumbo jets.

    To represent Boeing's decision not to produce super-jumbo jets and continue marketing its 450-passenger 747s, we look at elements C and D.

    If Boeing decides not to produce super-jumbo jets but Airbus does, their joint decision is represented by element C.

    Boeing's decision not to produce super-jumbo jets, while Airbus does, is not correct because Boeing would lose profits if it produced a super-jumbo jet.

    One could use game theory to analyze government subsidies. Given the supplied payoff matrix, what will each nation do if it is a 50-50 guess what the other side will do?

    • A.

      Europe will subsidize Airbus and the United States will subsidize Boeing

    • B.

      Europe will not subsidize Airbus and the United States will not subsidize Boeing.

    • C.

      Europe will subsidize Airbus and the United States will not subsidize Boeing.

    • D.

      Europe will not subsidize Airbus and the United States will subsidize Boeing.

    • E.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Europe will subsidize Airbus and the United States will subsidize Boeing
    Explanation
    Game theory is a branch of mathematics that studies strategic decision-making. In this scenario, each nation has two options: to subsidize or not to subsidize their respective aircraft manufacturers. If it is a 50-50 guess what the other side will do, both Europe and the United States would choose to subsidize their own manufacturers. This is because if one side chooses to subsidize and the other does not, the subsidized manufacturer would have a competitive advantage, leading to higher profits. Therefore, to avoid losing out, both nations would choose to subsidize their manufacturers, resulting in Europe subsidizing Airbus and the United States subsidizing Boeing.

      I) Give away the application only if Firm 2 sells the application and ii) there is no Nash equilibrium to this game

    • D.

      I) Give away the application only if Firm 2 gives away the application and ii) Firm 1 will give the application away free and Firm 2 will sell it at $30.

    • E.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. I) give away the application regardless of what firm 2 does and ii) both firm 1 and 2 will give the software application away free
    Explanation
    Firm 1's best strategy is to give away the application regardless of what Firm 2 does because this will result in the highest profit for Firm 1. The Nash equilibrium of the game is when both Firm 1 and Firm 2 give the software application away for free. This is because neither firm has an incentive to deviate from this strategy as it maximizes their profits.

      I) conduct R&D only if B does not conduction R&D and ii) neither A nor B conduct R&D

    • E.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. I) conduct R&D regardless of what B does and ii) both A and B conduct R&D
    Explanation
    The correct answer is i) conduct R&D regardless of what B does and ii) both A and B conduct R&D. In this scenario, A's best strategy is to conduct R&D regardless of what B does because conducting R&D can increase the quality of the product and increase sales. Additionally, the Nash equilibrium occurs when both A and B conduct R&D because if only one firm conducts R&D while the other does not, the firm conducting R&D will have a competitive advantage and potentially higher profits. Therefore, both firms have an incentive to conduct R&D to maximize their profits.

    Boeing and Airbus are the world’s only major producers of large, wide-bodied aircrafts. But with the cost of fuel increasing and changing demand in the airline industry, the need for smaller regional jets has increased. Suppose that both firms must decide whether they will produce a smaller plane. We will assume that Boeing has a slight cost advantage over Airbus in both large and small planes, as shown in the payoff matrix (in millions of U.S. dollars) above. Assume that each producer chooses to either produce only large, only small, or no planes at all. What is the Nash equilibrium of this game?

    • A.

      When Boeing produces small planes/Airbus produces small planes and when Boeing produces large planes/Airbus produces large planes.

    • B.

      When Boeing produces no planes/Airbus produces large planes and when Boeing produces large planes/Airbus produces small planes

    • C.

      When Airbus produces small planes/Boeing produce large planes and when Airbus produces large planes/Boeing produce small planes

    • D.

      When Boeing produces small planes/Airbus produces large planes and when Boeing produces large planes/Airbus produces no planes

    • E.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    C. When Airbus produces small planes/Boeing produce large planes and when Airbus produces large planes/Boeing produce small planes
    Explanation
    The Nash equilibrium of this game is when Airbus produces small planes and Boeing produces large planes, and when Airbus produces large planes and Boeing produces small planes. This is because both firms have a slight cost advantage in their respective planes, so it is in their best interest to produce the type of plane that they have a cost advantage in. If one firm deviates from this strategy and produces the same type of plane as the other firm, they will not be maximizing their profits. Therefore, the Nash equilibrium occurs when both firms produce different types of planes.

    What is the difference between an agricultural export subsidy and an agricultural production subsidy?

    • A.

      There is no difference between an agricultural export subsidy and an agricultural production subsidy.

    • B.

      Agricultural export subsidy applies only to exports, whereas an agricultural production applies to production sold at home and in the export market.

    • C.

      Agricultural export subsidy applies only to production sold in the home market, whereas an agricultural production subsidy applies to production sold in the export market

    • D.

      Both agricultural export subsidies and agricultural production subsidies apply to production sold in the home market and in the export market

    • E.

      Agricultural export subsidy applies only to exports and it causes the export supply curve to increase at home and in the world market whereas an agricultural production subsidy applies to production sold at home and in the export market and it result in lesser increases in home price and export for a small home country.

    Correct Answer
    B. Agricultural export subsidy applies only to exports, whereas an agricultural production applies to production sold at home and in the export market.

    Why do some say U.S. food aid actually hurts recipient nations?

    • A.

      Their farmers are put out of business and food production is decreased

    • B.

      It raises the price of food in recipient nations making it difficult for the population to buy food resulting in decrease in demand and causing local farmers to go out of business.

    • C.

      It makes them to depend on foreign food aid

    • D.

      Their farmers are put out of business and food production is decreased, local prices are depressed, and it causes food shortages further down the road as these nations become dependent on food aid.

    • E.

      B and C

    Correct Answer
    D. Their farmers are put out of business and food production is decreased, local prices are depressed, and it causes food shortages further down the road as these nations become dependent on food aid.
    Explanation
    The correct answer states that U.S. food aid actually hurts recipient nations because it leads to several negative consequences. Firstly, it puts local farmers out of business and decreases food production. Additionally, it raises the price of food in recipient nations, making it difficult for the population to afford food, which in turn decreases demand. This decrease in demand causes local farmers to go out of business. Lastly, it causes food shortages in the long run as these nations become dependent on food aid.

    Correct Answer
    C. I) remain at $100 per ton; ii) $150 per ton; iii)rise by $150 per ton; and iv) fall.
    Explanation
    If a small country gives its sugar exporters a subsidy of $50 per ton, the world price of sugar will remain at $100 per ton because the subsidy does not affect the global market. Importers will receive $150 per ton because they pay the world price plus the subsidy. The domestic price of sugar will rise by $150 per ton, as domestic producers can sell their sugar at the higher world price. However, domestic consumption of sugar will fall because the higher price makes it less affordable for consumers.

    • E.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Europe will subsidize Airbus and the United States will subsidize Boeing
    Explanation
    In game theory, the concept of a dominant strategy suggests that each player will choose the strategy that is best for them regardless of what the other player does. In this scenario, both Europe and the United States have a dominant strategy to subsidize their respective aircraft manufacturers. This is because regardless of what the other side does, each country will benefit more by providing subsidies to their own manufacturer. Therefore, Europe will subsidize Airbus and the United States will subsidize Boeing.
