What are the costs and benefits of protection? Will the benefits outweigh the costs? What should a natio

5、mported goods Example: A 20% ad valorem tariff on bicycles generates a $20 payment on each $100 imported bicycle.,6,A compound duty (tariff) is a combination of an ad valorem and a specific tariff. Modern governments usually prefer to protect domestic industries through a variety of nontariff barrie

Both countries consume and produce wheat, which can be costless tra

This implies that shippers begin to move wheat from Foreign to Home. The export of wheat raises its price in F

9、 consume at each price of the imported good. That is, the excess of what Home consumers demand over what Home producers supply: MD = D(P) S(P) Foreign export supply curve Shows the maximum quantity of exports Foreign would like to provide the rest of the world at each price. That is, the excess of w

The analytical framework will be based on either of the following: Two large countries trading with each oth
14、er A small country trading with the rest of the world,Basic Tariff Analysis,15,Effects of a Tariff Assume that two large countries trade with each other. Suppose Home imposes a tax of $2 on every bushel of wheat imported. Then shippers will be unwilling to move the wheat unless the price difference
15、between the two markets is at least $2. Figure 8-4 illustrates the effects of a specific tariff of $t per unit of wheat.,Basic Tariff Analysis,16,XS,PT,MD,D,S,PW,Basic Tariff Analysis,Figure 8-4: Effects of a Tariff,P*T,3,t,Home market,World market,Foreign market,17,In the absence of tariff, the wor
16、ld price of wheat (Pw) would be equalized in both countries. With the tariff in place, the price of wheat rises to PT at Home and falls to P*T (= PT t) at Foreign until the price difference is $t. In Home: producers supply more and consumers demand less due to the higher price, so that fewer imports are demanded. In Foreign: producers supply less and consumers demand more due to the lower price, so that fewer exports are supplied. Thus, the volume of wheat
