Chapter 1: International Economics is Different Multiple Choice Questions 1. After 2006, why did the cost of new natural gas wells in the U.S. and Canada increase? a. The amount of natural gas being imported into the U.S. and Canada was increasing. b. The lowest cost sources of natural gas using standard production technologies had been exhausted. c. Government regulations on new natural gas production increased the cost of production. d. Natural gas production in other parts of the world decreased thereby increasing world-wide demand for natural gas. Answer: B Difficulty: 02 Medium Blooms: Understand AACSB: Reflective Thinking Topic: Four Controversies 2. A law in the U.S. prohibits the export of natural gas unless such exports are in the “public interest.” What does “public interest” mean in the context of that law? a. The amount received for the exported natural gas is enough to cover the production and transportation costs plus a reasonable profit b. The U.S. government is able to collect export taxes set by law on the exported natural gas c. The exports leave an adequate supply of natural gas for domestic users and consumers of natural gas d. The exported natural gas does not fall into the hands of groups or countries that the U.S. government has designated as terrorists Answer: C Difficulty: 02 Medium Blooms: Understand AACSB: Reflective Thinking Topic: Four Controversies 3. If natural gas produced in the U.S. was exported to countries in Asia and Europe, what factor would likely increase the price of that natural gas in the importing countries? a. The U.S. would impose export charges on each unit of natural gas exported and those charges would be passed along to the importing countries. b. Exporters in the U.S. would arbitrarily inflate the costs of production so that the importing countries would pay higher prices. c. Importing countries would impose tariffs on the imported natural gas and those tariffs be passed along by exporting companies to importing countries. d. Natural gas from the U.S. would have to be liquefied and transported in specially- designed ships to Asia and Europe, so transportation costs would increase the price of the imported natural gas in Asia and Europe. Answer: D Difficulty: 02 Medium Blooms: Understand AACSB: Reflective Thinking Topic: Four Controversies 4. If the U.S. allowed the export of significant amounts of natural gas, what would be the economic effect? a. There would be no net economic effect on international trade because increased exports from the U.S. would be offset by increased imports to the U.S. of other goods. b. The economic effect on international trade would be negative because increased amounts of natural gas in the importing countries would drive down the price of domestically produced natural gas in the importing countries. c. The foreign demand for natural gas from the U.S. would increase the price of natural gas in the U.S., production of natural gas in the U.S. would increase, and consumption of natural gas in the U.S. would decrease slightly. d. Increased demand for natural gas form the U.S. in foreign countries would increase the price of natural gas world-wide and result in many countries not being able to afford the price of natural gas. Answer: C Difficulty: 03 Hard Blooms: Analyze AACSB: Analytic Topic: Four Controversies 5. What would be the effect in the U.S. of increased exports of natural gas from the U.S. to foreign countries? a. Exports of natural gas from the U.S. would force the world-wide price of natural gas to an equilibrium and reduce the price of natural gas for consumers in the U.S. b. Exports of natural gas from the U.S. would result in higher prices for natural gas, benefiting producers and exporters of natural gas in the U.S. and harming consumers of natural gas in the U.S. c. Exports of natural gas from the U.S. would force the world-wide price of natural gas to an equilibrium which would mean that producers of natural gas in the U.S. could not charge more than the cost to produce the natural gas. d. The U.S. government would eventually have to prohibit exports of natural gas to foreign countries in order to control the price of natural gas. Answer: B Difficulty: 02 Medium Blooms: Understand AACSB: Reflective Thinking Topic: Four Controversies 6. What is fracking? a. A process that uses a combination of hydraulic pressure and horizontal drilling to allow the extraction of natural gas that cannot otherwise be extracted. b. The difference between the cost of producing natural gas and transporting it to consumers and the price that consumers are willing to pay for the natural gas. c. The sale of natural gas on the black market in foreign countries without approval of the U.S. government. d. The imposition of import tariffs on natural gas exported from the U.S. to protect domestic producers in the importing country. Answer: A Difficulty: 01 Easy Blooms: Remember AACSB: Reflective Thinking Topic: Four Controversies 7. What event in Japan increased demand for imported natural gas in Japan? a. Deposits of natural gas in Japan have been exhausted. b. The largest deposits of natural gas available to Japan are located in the islands in the South China Sea and Japan and China have a dispute about who owns those islands. c. A tsunami in 2011 damaged the nuclear reactor in Fukushima causing Japan to shut down all of its nuclear generation of electricity. d. Japan imposed strict environmental requirements for the generation of electricity that can only be met by using natural gas to produce electricity.
