1. Please answer the following questions briefly about dumping.(30 points)
a. What is dumping?
b. Your trade textbook is imported from the U.S. The U.S publisher charges a
copy of this testbook at about $40 in Taiwan, but charge about $120
domestically. Is the U.S publisher engaging in dumping un Taiwan testbook
market?
c. Why the U.S textbook charge different prices in different markets for the
completely same books?
d. On the other hand, Taiwanese government imposed anti-dumping taxes against
towel import from China, why Taiwanese government hasn't imposed
anti-dumping taxes toward the U.S. testbook exporters?
e. Is it good for Taiwan as a whole not to impose anti-dumping taxes against
the U.S textbook? Why?
f. Is it good for Taiwan as a whole to impose anti-dumping taxes against the
towel imported from China? Why?
2. Economists Jeffery Sachs and Andrew Warner have analyzed the relation
between openness to trade to growth rates of incomes per capital for 78
developing economies during the 1970s and 1980s. Their results indicate
that economies that open to trade grew at an average rate of 4.5%, while
that of closed economies at 0.7%. Another economist Sebatian Edwards also
has found that openness related positively with total factor productivity
growth, Given the strong evidence, some countries are still averse to free
trade policy. Why?(10 points)
3. Please answer the following questions briefly about trade policy:(15 points)
a. WTO encourages free trade, because which makes the world economy more
efficient. If the developed countries, like U.S. and Japan, dominate the
semiconductor industries for many years, would free trade is still good
to the developing countries (e.g., China and Taiwan)? Why?
b. What is the infant industry protection policy?
c. Please illustrate how Taiwan developed the semiconductor industry? We
then have a successful stories such as TSMC(台積電) and 聯發科.
4. The below shows roughly main stages of production for an integrated circuit
chip (eg. DRAM). Each stage of production requires a composition of skilled
and unskilled labor. Supposed that the stages of production are relative
unskilled labor intensive (ie., apply more unskilled labor) when z is small,
and skilled labor intensive (ie.,apply more skilled labor) when z is large.
Please answer the following questions:(15 points)
a. If Taiwan relocates some relatively unskilled processing stages of the
semiconductor industry, such as Chip package and Testing, to China, what
is this relocation activity has been called?
b. What will be the consequent effects on the relative wage rate of Taiwaness
unskilled labor to skilled labor?
c. What will be the consequent effects in the relative wage rate of China
unskilled labor to skilled labor? Suppose there is only semiconductor
industry in the world.
5. Please answer the following questions about trade pattern:(30 points)
a. The U.S exports bean to Japan and imports automobile from Janpan, is this
trade pattern called inter-industry trade?
b. The U.S exports automobiles and semiconductors to Japan and imports
automobiles and semiconductors from Japan, is this trade pattern called
inter-industry trade or intra-industry trade?
c. The both Japan and the U.S are capital-intensive countries, and they are
about similar in technology in both automobile and semiconductor
industries, why the two economies trade substantially in the two
industries,sectors? Can you apply Heckscher-Ohlin model or Ricardian Model
to explain this trade pattern?
d. If not, what is the model you think is appropriate answer?
e. Krugman(1994) has developed a trade model to explain why two similar
countries in both endowment and technology might engage in trade. What
are the three main results in term of per capital consumption, real wage,
and product variety in his model?
f. Then what is the motive for two similar countries to trade?
