Consider the effect of trade liberalization on agricultural markets. Using your weekly readings and additional research, compare the challenges experienced by Saudi Arabia. What financial support does the KSA government provide for its agricultural sectors? How could KSA improve its agricultural sectors policies? What types of results would you expect for these improvements? Any foreseen consequences?

• Embed course material concepts, principles, and theories, which require supporting citations along with at least one scholarly peer reviewed reference in supporting your answer unless the discussion calls for more. Keep in mind that these scholarly references can be found in the Saudi Digital Library by conducting an advanced search specific to scholarly references.
• You are required to reply to at least two peer discussion question post answers to this weekly discussion question and/or your instructor’s response to your posting. These post replies need to be substantial and constructive in nature. They should add to the content of the post and evaluate/analyze that post answer. Normal course dialogue doesn’t fulfill these two peer replies but is expected throughout the course. Answering all course questions is also required.
• Use Saudi Electronic University academic writing standards and APA style guidelines.

• Interpret the “neoclassical” trade diagram below (on the next page):

a.What is the meaning of the curve that goes through points F and G? What can we infer from the fact that this curve gets steeper as the quantity of laptop computers increases?

b.What is the meaning of the curves U0 and U1? the tangency points G and E?

c.Assuming that the country’s resources are fully employed, what are the quantities pro- duced in autarky? with free trade?

d.What are the quantities consumed in autarky? with free trade?

e.What are the volumes (quantities) of imports and exports with free trade? Where is the “trade triangle” on this diagram?

f.What is the meaning of the slope of the line FE (in absolute value, i.e., ignoring the fact that it’s negative)? In what units is this slope measured?

g.What would be the meaning of the slope of a line drawn tangent to the production possibility frontier at point G? Why would this line be steeper than line FE? (HINT: in which good does this country have a comparative advantage? How do you know?)

h.How do we see the “gains from trade” on this diagram?
