Consider trade relations between the United States and Mexico. Assume that the leaders of the two countries believe the payoffs to aiternative trade policies are shown in the following payoff matrix: The dominant strategy for the United States is always to choose tariffs. The dominant strategy for Mexico is always to choose tariffs. True or Faise: The Nash equilibrium outcome for trade policy is for both the United States and Mexico to have low tariffs. True False In 1993, the U.S. Congress ratified the North American Free Trade Agreement, in which the United States and Mexico agreed to reduce trade barriers simultaneously. True or False: Given the trade strategy decisions in the table, the United States is better off and Mexico is worse off with this new trade policy. True Faise In 1993, the U.S. Congress ratified the North American Free Trade Agreement, in which the United States and Mexico agreed to reduce trade barriers simultaneously. True or False: Given the trade strategy decisions in the table, the United States is better off and Mexico is worse off with this new trade policy. True False Based on your understanding of the gains from trade (discussed in Chapters 3 and 9 ), which of the following statements accurately characterize how well the payoffs indicated for the four possible outcomes actually reflect a nation's welfare? Check all that apply. The payolfs in the upper left and lower right corners of the matrix reflect a nation's welfare because they show that trade is beneficial and tariffs are a barrier to trade. The payoffs in the upper right and lower left corners of the matrix do not reflect a nation's welfare because tariffs hurt overall total surplus, so both countries' weifare should decline regardless of who charges the high and low tariffs. The payoffs in the upper right and lower left corners of the matrix reflect a nation's weifare because the nation with lower tariff is better off, since that nation is more open to trade.
