9. The unemployment rate is typically lower in the United States than in most European countries, and the duration of unemployment in the United States is much less likely to be one year or more than in Europe. For example, in December 2016, the unemployment rate was 4.7 percent in the U.S. compared to 8.2 percent that same month for the countries in the European Union. Franceâs unemployment rate in December 2016 was 9.6 percent.

Separately consider each of the following differences between the United States and most European countries. Explain whether each differenceâconsidered separatelyâshould make the unemployment rate higher or lower in Europe (relative to the United States). Include as part of your answer the type of unemployment that the factor would affect.

a) The United States spends much less on government training programs than most of Europe.

b) European countries typically have strict job-protection policies that require notification to the government and consultations with worker representatives before layoffs can be made.

c) In many European countries, workers are eligible for relatively-generous unemployment payments that often last for a year or longer. These unemployment payments can equal 70 percent of the wages that had been earned. Furthermore, some European countries generously provide income through social insurance programs even after eligibility for unemployment payments has been exhausted.

The most attractive way to reduce or eliminate the impact of paying tariffs on pairs imported to a company's distribution warehouse in Europe-Africa is to:

a. Simply stop selling footwear in Europe-Africa.

b. build a plant in Europe-Africa and then expand it as may be needed so that the company has sufficient capacity to supply all (or at least most) of the pairs the company intends to try to sell in that geographic region.

c. lower the S/Q rating on all pairs sold in Europe-Africa to 1 star or 2 stars--no tariffs have to be paid on imported branded footwear having an S/Q rating of 2-stars or below.

d. only sell the company's branded footwear at its Internet site for Europe-Africa; no import tariffs have to be paid on Internet sales--import tariffs only have to be paid on footwear shipped from the company's Europe-Africa warehouse to footwear retailers in Europe-Africa.

e. pursue a strategy of selling fewer pairs in Europe-Africa than rival companies, which will then keep the company's costs for import tariffs in Europe-Africa lower than those of rivals and give the company a low tariff-cost advantage on its sales in Europe-Africa.

c. pursue a strategy of selling footwear to retailers in Europe-Africa at a wholesale price of $39 per pair or less-no import tariffs have to be paid on branded pairs shipped to footwear retailers in Europe-Africa when the wholesale price is below $40 per pair.

d. lower the S/Q rating on all pairs sold in Europe-Africa to 1 star or 2 stars-no tariffs have to be paid on branded footwear having an S/Q rating of 2-stars or below.

e. Simply stop selling footwear in Europe-Africa.
