What forces shaped the culture in the country of UAE and Dubai in particular? How similar or different are these forces from those that shaped the culture of Western nations? What kinds of misunderstanding, if any, are likely to arise between Western-based visitors and people from the UAE during World Expo 2020? If you were in a position to advise a Western company that was considering doing business in UAE for the first time, what would your advice be? Using Dubai as an example, do you believe that cultural similarities among people can outweigh cultural differences that exist in terms of doing business together in the future

As you may have heard, Russia decided to invade its neighbor, which has led to international condemnation (albeit not on all fronts). The EU, a former major importer of gas from Russai, went ahead with sanctions. Imagine, if you will, that the respective heads of state get together and try to negotiate a trade agreement to end sanctions. They each have three possible choices: (a) Maintain tariffs against the other nation (T); (b) Seek mediation from the WTO, which would implement an international trade agreement at a small cost (M); (c) Unilaterally remove tariffs (F). The payoff matrix is as given below. Is there a dominant strategy for either player? Find all the (pure strategy) Nash equilibria in the game. How would this change if, instead, the mediation is costless and yields a payoff of 50 to each nation (assuming mutually successful mediation) and a payoff of 0 (if the other nation chooses otherwise)? **

From an economic point of view, India and China are somewhat similar: Both are huge, low-wage countries, probably with similar patterns of comparative advantage, which until recently were relatively closed to international trade. China was the first to open up. Now that India is also opening up to world trade, how would you expect this to affect the welfare of China? Of the United States? (Hint: Think of adding a new economy identical to that of China to the world economy.) A. From China's perspective, the world relative supply curve will shift to the left. This shift will improve China's terms of trade. The U.S. purchases of Chinese exports will hurt the U.S. by decreasing the relative price of goods that the U.S. exports. B. From China's perspective, the world relative supply curve will shift to the right. This shift will worsen China's terms of trade. The U.S. purchase of Chinese exports will benefit the U.S. by increasing the relative price of goods that the U.S. exports. C. From…
