From which country did Mexico import stoves, prior to NAFTA, and why? b) a) When NAFTA was formed, Mexico reduced its tariffs on all imports from the United States to zero. How, jf at all, should that have changed the each of following? (You need only indicate the direction of change, but explain your reasoning.) The domestic price of stoves in Mexico? i. i. The quantity of stoves imported? The country from which it imported? ii. iv. Production of stoves in Mexico? Consumption of stoves in Mexico?
