(Thousands of bushels) Imports from...
Free trade
With tariff
With customs union
At some point in time, Liechtenstein decides to protect its domestic grain producers and imposes a tariff of $2.00 per bushel of grain on imports from
both Canada and France. Scan+T and Sp+T represent the after-tariff prices for both countries.
In the second row of the previous table, enter the quantity of bushels Liechtenstein imports with the tariff and the country it imports from.
Later on, Liechtenstein and France form a customs union as part of a trade liberalization agreement, while the trade between Liechtenstein and
Canada continues with the previous terms.
In the last row of the previous table, enter the quantity of bushels Liechtenstein imports with the customs union and the country it imports from.
Complete the following table by identifying which trade effect of the customs union formation is represented by each of the shaded areas on the
