Suppliers of the good in Country A will benefit from trade. O. The welfare of Country A as a whole will fall. O. The quantity of the good demanded in Country B will become larger. O. The price of the good in both countries will be the one labeled PB.

Its persistence apparently paid off when, in March 2002, George W. Bush agreed to impose a tariff of up to 30% on steel imports. The steel industry claimed that was barely enough to offset the combination of a stronger dollar and ‘‘dumping’’ by steel companies around the world because of a glut of excess capacity. It also requested, but did not receive, money from the government to pay the retirement and healthcare benefits for those pensioners who had received generous benefits when the industry was profitable.

Consider a world with two countries - USA and Foreign and a competitive market of sugar in both countries. Foreign is more effecient in the production of sugar and in a free trade equilibrium, US would import part of its consumption of sugar. Describe graphically such trading equilibrium of sugar. What would be the effect on the sugar price in USA and on the welfare (measured by consumer surplus, pro- ducer surplus and tari§ revenue) of US when US imposes an import tariffs on sugar? Argue using a graph taking into consideration that US is a large sugar importing country.
