Suppose we refused to sell goods to any country that reduced or halted its exports to us. Who would benefit and who would lose from such retaliation? Can you suggest alternative ways to ensure import supplies? Are there any particular imported commodities that you or your firm rely on? What has happened to the supply of these imports over the years?

During the 1960s, a commonly held concern among Canadians was that Americans were "buying Canada." This concern stemmed from the fact that Canada's net capital outflow during the 1960s was consistently negative. As a result, foreigners, particularly Americans, were buying more Canadian assets than Canadians were buying foreign assets. Because many of these assets were firms operating in Canada, Canadians were concerned that eventually all of Canada would be owned by Americans. In response to this concern, the federal government of the time passed legislation limiting the amount that foreigners could invest in certain sectors of the economy. How do you think this legislation affected investment in Canada? The investment curve shifts to the (Left/Right). What do you think happened to Canada's real exchange rate and net exports as a result? Multiple Choice Net exports increased, and the exchange rate decreased. Net exports decreased, and the exchange rate increased. Net exports increased, and the exchange rate increased. Net exports decreased, and the exchange rate decreased.

Each year the US considers its trading status with China, and vice versa. The trade relationship between the two countries is now rather cold. A trade sanction imposed by one country is likely to involve some retaliatory measures by another. The Game below reflects the potential economic gains associated with a two-outcome game between the US and China. The following table contains the hypothetical dollar value of all trade flow benefits to the United States and China. If China pursues its own best interests, will it impose trade sanctions against the U.S.? Explain your answer!
