Examine who has been helped and who has been hurt by the selected governmentintervention. Examine externalities and unintended consequences of such intervention. For example, consider whether the SNAP program and health coverage for low-income families result in higher future tax revenues because low-income children grow up healthier and produce higher incomes over theirlifetimes.

ECO 535 Week 5 Apply World EconomiesComparison Presentation For more course tutorialsvisit www.tutorialrank.com ECO 535 Week 5 Apply World Economies ComparisonPresentation Research each economy assigned to your Team. Compare similarities and differences between your assigned countries/economies and how their economic, political, and cultural development since 1992 has influenced their economic growth and tradecompetitiveness.

  19. Use tables and/or graphs to support your analysis of the following economic statistics/indicators of your two assigned economies through the most recent year available since 2009 (the trough of the last economic cycle). Whenever possible, plot the metric for both economies on the same chart. • GDP per capita growth overtime • Inflation rate over time • Unemployment rate overtime • Exports as a % of GDP overtime • National government debt as a % ofGDP • Evaluate the reasons why the economic growth of the two economies/countries varied. • Discuss how international trade influenced the strength of each economy. • Discuss the role of value chains and value-addedproduction.

  20. Analyze how the failure to use value-added trade measures distorts trade statistics.For example, Boeing and Airbus airliners, Apple iPad and iPhone production, andNorth American integrated auto and light truckmanufacturing. Examine at least two industries that have provided each economy a comparative advantage in world trade. Cite at least two academically credible sources. Format your citations according to APAguidelines. ..................................................................................................................... ......................................... ECO 535 Week 5 Discussion Benefits of OpenTrade

  21. For more course tutorials visit www.tutorialrank.com ECO 535 Week 5 Discussion Benefits of OpenTrade Top ofForm Discuss non-monetary benefits open trade has contributed to the world since the end of WWII. Provide at least 2 examples. Why do you think these areimportant? How have changes to US trade and tariff policies affected US trade with other nations? Consider recent (less than 2 years old) credible news sources to support yourresponse ..................................................................................................................... ......................................... ECO 535 Week 6 Apply SignatureAssignment International TradeSummary For more course tutorialsvisit www.tutorialrank.com ECO 535 Week 6 Apply Signature Assignment: International Trade Summary

  22. Top ofForm Promoting international trade is not a zero-sum game. It is a win-win proposition; both parties gain fromtrade. Consider thefollowing: Tariffs are paid by the citizens of the country imposing tariffs, not by the citizens of the country producing the products upon which the tariffs are levied. The term “trade deficits” is a misnomer. Every country’s trade is always inbalance. Trade deficits do not mean the US no longer produces anything to export. The US is the world’s second largest manufacturer and the world’s second largest exporter of manufacturedgoods. Trade deficits reflect a strong economy. Trade deficits rise during economic expansions and fall during economiccontractions. Unemployment falls as trade deficits rise and rises as trade deficitsfall. Imports and exports are complements, not competitors. Both are necessary and both contribute to economicgrowth.

  23. Roughly one-third of all US imports and exports is trade between US multinational companies and their overseassubsidiaries. Foreign-owned companies operating in the US number in the thousands and provide directly or indirectly jobs for more than 13 million US workers (roughly, 10% of the USworkforce). US trade deficit in goods in 2018 (as a % of GDP) was the same as it was 5, 10 and 15 yearsearlier. The rise in US goods trade deficit with China has not increased the US total goods trade deficit. It has been offset by reduced goods imports from other trading partners. There is a strong correlation between the rise in world trade and: The rise in worldGDP The dramatic fall in the world’s extreme poverty rate The rise in world life expectancy For every US manufacturing job lost to trade between 2000 and 2010, seven US jobs were lost to domestic productivity improvements. Those seven jobs cannot be brought back from overseas because they never left theUS. Write a 700- to 1,050-word evaluation of credible economists’ unbiased opinions on the benefits, costs, and results of current US trade and tariff policies. Complete the following in yourevaluation:

  24. Evaluate how US trade policy changes in the last 2 years affect global trade activities by multinationalcorporations. Discuss credible economists’ opinions on the long-term effects of trade and tariff policies changes in the last 2years. Explain the effect of recent changes to trade and tariff policies have had on your employer, you, or someone youknow. ..................................................................................................................... ......................................... ECO 535 Week 6 Discussion Effects of TradePolicies andTariffs For more course tutorialsvisit www.tutorialrank.com ECO 535 Week 6 Discussion Effects of Trade Policies andTariffs Some politicians, labor unions, and special interest groups argue that US trade deficits are harmful to the economy and nations that run large trade surpluses with the US are benefiting from unfair trade practices and agreements. These parties support increasing tariffs on imports, elimination, or re-writing of tradeagreements.

  25. Respond to the following in a minimum of 175words: Discuss what credible economists say about the effects that tariffs, changing trade agreements, and/or manipulating exchange rates will have on the total US tradebalance. Do you agree with their assertions? Why or whynot? .
