APPLICATION 1 4 Supply and Demand According to Bono The unlikely 2002 trip to Africa by the Irish rock star Bono in the company of U S Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill sparked much interesting dialogue about economics ' Especially intrigu ing was Bono's claim that recently expanded agricultural sub sidies in the United States were harming struggling farmers in Africa a charge that O'Neill was forced to attempt to refute at every stop A simple supply demand analysis shows that, overall, Bono did indeed have the better of the arguments, though he neglected to mention a few fine points Graphing African Exports Figure 1 shows the supply and demand curves for a typical crop that is being produced by an African country If the world price of this crop (P ) exceeds the price that would prevail in the absence of trade (Pp), this country will be an exporter of this crop The total quantity of exports is given by the distance Qs Qp That is, exports are given by the difference in the quan tity of this crop produced and the quantity that is demanded domestically Such exporting is common for many African coun tries because they have large agrarian populations and generally favorable climates for

increased agricultural subsidies to U S farmers From the point of view of world markets, the main effect of such a program was to reduce world crop prices This is shown in Figure 1 as a drop in the world price to P This fall in price would be met by a reduction in quantity produced of the crop to Q's and an increase in the quantity demanded to Op Crop exports would decline significantly So, Bono's point is essentially correct U S farm subsi dies do harm African farmers, especially those in the export business But he might also have pointed out that African consumers of food also benefit from the price reduction They are able to buy more food at lower prices Effectively, some of the subsidy to U S farmers has been transferred to African consumers Hence, even disregarding whether farm
