Question)
Suppose the market for semiconductors in the U.S. is characterized by:
Qd = 200 - 40P [Demand]
Qs = 40+ 40P [Supply]
The market for semiconductors in the rest of the world is characterized by:
Qd = 160 - 40P [Demand]
Qs = 80 + 40P [Supply]
Suppose the U.S. government imposes a quota of 24 million units on its imports of semiconductors.
Calculate the magnitude of the deadweight loss resulting from the quota under the assumption that the U.S. is a small open economy.
Question 2)Suppose the market for wine in the U.S. is characterized by:Qd = 200 - 40P [Demand] Qs = 40 + 40P [Supply]
The market for wine in the rest of the world is characterized by:
Qd = 160 - 40P [Demand]
Qs = 80 + 40P [Supply]
Calculate the change in deadweight loss if the U.S. replaces a prohibitive tariff per unit on imported wine by an equal production subsidy per unit of wine sold by U.S. producers.
