Information for questions 9-15 The market for paintings (a good with external economies of scale) is shown in the following figure. Note that one horizontal grid space is 20 paintings, and one vertical grid space is $2. Costs The only countries that can make paintings are France and Italy, and their Average Cost curves are shown, labeled ACFR and ACIT, respectively. Demand Two possible demand curves for paintings in France (labeled DFR,1 and DFR,2) are shown. There is no demand at all for paintings in Italy. The world demand for paintings is labeled DWORLD. Initially, all countries of the world are in autarky, therefore: 1) France produces paintings for its domestic market only; 2) Italy has no reason to produce paintings, therefore does not do so; and 3) the rest of the world does not have access to paintings.   For the numerical questions, only the exact answers are accepted. Answers can be made exact with the usual convention: if two lines seem to intersect at a grid point, assume that they do so exactly. For example, line DFR,2 and line ACIT intersect exactly at p= 14, and q= 500. Use a ruler if you need to! If a numerical question cannot be answered with the information given, enter 0.   After the market for paintings opens up in the whole world, what best describes the optimal outcome?

Kemper coughed. “The key thing is the patsy. Once we get beyond that, we’re home free.”Littell shook his head. “No. The key thing is to thwart a full-scale FBI investigation.”Pete and Kemper looked puzzled. They weren’t thinking up to his level.Littell spoke very slowly. “I think Mr. Hoover knows it’s coming. He’s got private bugs installed in god-knows-how-many Mob meeting places, and he told me he’s been picking up a huge amount of Kennedy hatred. He hasn’t informed the Secret Service, or they wouldn’t be planning motorcades through to the end of the fall.”Kemper nodded. “Hoover wants it to happen. It happens, he’s glad it happened, and he still gets assigned to investigate it. What we need is an ‘in’ to get him to obfuscate or short-shrift the investigation.”Pete nodded. “We need an FBI-linked fall guy.”Kember said, “Dougie Frank Lockhart.”
