Document Summary

The reading is based on the black canadians, especially the enslaved, who resisted and protested to the extent that it forced the upper canadian government to pass its gradual emancipation act. The role that enslaved black people played in the early history of canada. In this article, we examine the different forms of protest and resistance of african slaves against their condition in. Upper canada, and how the actions of these slaves led to the passage of progressive emancipation laws in upper. Resistance in the slave trade could be seen as a continuum between everyday acts and long-term acts. These acts were often a combination of everyday acts as well as arson and sometimes were associated with women because of their close links to domestic and household work. Joseph ki-zerbo remarked that africans were ousted from humanity when the slave trade and slavery were established.

Read the article found here, in which Bernie Sanders defends a bill that he has introduced that would allow for the import of pharmaceuticals into the U.S. from Canada. This would effectively force drug manufacturers to charge the same price for prescription drugs in the U.S. and Canada. In this problem,

you will assess one possible consequence of this legislation. Suppose that a drug that treats hepatitis C has a constant marginal cost to produce, equal to $1. The average variable cost of producing the drug is also $1. Suppose that demand for this drug is the same in both the United States and Canada and is given by ðð·=2000. The drug's manufacturer still holds a patent on the drug and thus is effectively able to act as a monopolist. Initially, the U.S. forbids the import of the drug from Canada. This allows the drug's manufacturer to charge different prices in the U.S. and Canada. In Canada, the Canadian government manages a single payer healthcare system, which means that the Canadian government, in effect, makes all of Canada's purchases of healthcare on behalf of its citizens. This gives the Canadian government the ability to set the price of all healthcare products and services within its borders, including that of the hepatitis C drug. Suppose that the Canadian government requires the drug manufacturer to price at a marginal cost within Canada. In the U.S., drugs are priced in the market. This leaves the drug manufacturer is free to act as a monopolist in the United States.

a.) What price will the manufacturer charge in the U.S.?

b.) What quantity of the drug will be sold in the U.S., and what quantity of the drug will be sold in Canada?

c.) Compute the deadweight loss caused by the drug company's monopoly power in the U.S.

d.) Compute the drug manufacturer's total variable cost and total revenue.

e.) Now suppose that the U.S. allows imports of the drug from Canada, forcing the U.S. price and the Canadian price to be equal. If the Canadian government continues to impose marginal cost pricing, what will the manufacturer's total variable cost and total revenue be?

f.) Suppose that the drug company must pay a fixed cost of $500,000 to develop the hepatitis C drug before it can be manufactured and sold. Will it pay this cost if imports of the drug are restricted between the U.S. and Canada? Will it pay this cost if they are not?

g.) Explain why, in this scenario, the U.S. is providing a public good and Canada is free riding.

For years the U.S. dairy industry has claimed that Canadian dairy producers are heavily subsidized through the countryâs supply management program. This argument has been a key point in trade negotiations as the U.S. claims that the supply management system, and the Class & pricing system in place, creates an unfair playing field. In a new report, Canadians have suggested that perhaps the U.S. dairy industry should examine its own subsidy programs before making accusations. The 588-page report commissioned by Dairy Farmers of Canada examined the role subsidies play in the U.S. dairy market. According to the report, 73% of the returns received by U.S. dairy farmers in 2015 were a result of dairy farm subsidies, such as the Margin Protection Program (MPP), the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and others. That amounts to about $12.06 per cwt. âOne of the things we are seeing is that the way dairy industries are supported on both sides of the border are different,â Haney says. âCanada on the front end, is clearly supported through the quota system. In the U.S., itâs more through other means like MPP, SNAP and so forth.â âThe Canadians should realize that the U.S. is not over subsidized, but has a tremendous safety net that will give larger producers confidence to expand production knowing they have revenue assurance and other industry backups,â Wiesemeyer says, especially with the update to programs recently announced in the newly approved spending package. âThat will be the story over the next 3 to 5 years in the U.S. dairy market. Adapted from www.milkbusiness.com (October 2018)
