Presumably, since the United States is a large country in many of its international markets, a positive optimum tariff exists fo

r this country. It follows therefore that when any legislator or government official who promotes zero-tariff free trade policies, is by definition not acting in the public's best interest. Discuss.

Answer:

It is true that a positive optimum tariff exists for the United States because it is a large country when compared with its international partners.

If the United States uses its size and positive optimum tariff advantage to impose tariffs on imports, other countries are likely to retaliate by following its footsteps.  This does not benefit any country in the long run.

Every forward-looking country that appreciates the benefits of free trade to its citizens is always careful to impose the optimum tariff on imports.

Explanation:

A tariff-imposing nation that is large enough to make some impactful difference in its welfare by imposing an optimum tariff will surely harm its partners so greatly that it will attract some retaliatory moves by the other nations. Likewise, a zero-tariff policy is counter-productive to the public interest as it harms the U.S. productive sector, jobs, and gross domestic product.  This then calls for a balance and a cost minimization strategy.

Frictional

) establishing government employment agencies to connect unemployed workers to job vacancies 

Explanation:

The options needed to answer the last question are :

a) extending the number of weeks for which unemployed workers are eligible for unemployment insurance benefits from the government 

b) establishing government employment agencies to connect unemployed workers to job vacancies 

c) offering recipients of unemployment insurance benefits a cash bonus if they find a new job within a specified number of weeks

The law of supply states that the higher the price, the higher the quantity supplied and the lower the price, the lower the quantity supplied.

It follows that if the world price of cotton falls, the quantity supplied would fall too as firms would reduce their production of cotton. If firms reduce their production of cotton, they would need less labour and the demand for Labour would fall.

In the industry that makes use of cotton has an input, the fall in world price would make cotton cheaper. The firm would increase the quantity demanded for and as a result production would increase. Firms would need more labour as a result of the increase in production. Therefore, the demand for Labour would increase.

Frictional unemployment is unemployment that results as a result of labour moving from one job to another

Establishing government employment agencies to connect unemployed workers to job vacancies would ease the job search of labour and reduce unemployment.
