From the Work It Out Effects of Trade Barriers, you can see that a tariff raises the price of imports. What is interesting is that the price rises by less than the amount of the tariff. Who pays the rest of the tariff amount? Can you show this graphically?
Trade has income distribution effects. For example, suppose that because of a government-negotiated reduction in trade barriers, trade between Germany and the Czech Republic increases. Germany sells house paint to the Czech Republic. The Czech Republic sells alarm clocks to Germany. Would you expect this pattern of trade to increase or decrease jobs and wages in the paint industry in Germany? The alarm clock industry in Germany? The paint industry in Czech Republic? The alarm clock industry in Czech Republic? What has to happen for there to be no increase in total unemployment in both countries?
Small Island Developing States (SIDS), particularly our Caribbean islands, are normally accused by our economists of being import dependent. Why then are we always hesitant to impose Tariffs on imports to solve our Balance of Payments problems? Why would it be slow to work on our appetites? Discuss this issue in relation to the concept of Elasticity of Demand. Also, why is the Government always imposing more and more sin taxes on alcohol and cigarettes? Is the Government so concerned about our sins when we consume these demerit goods?
If a smaller country imports a good (electronics) from a larger country, is it beneficial for the smaller countryto impose quotas on the good coming from the larger country. Will this affect the consumers of electronics, the domestic producers of electronics and the government?
The graph attached shows the car market in Mexico when Mexico places no restriction on the quantity of cars imported. The world price of a car is $10,000. If the government of Mexico introduces a $2,000 tari_ on car imports, what will be the price of a car in Mexico, the quantity of cars produced in Mexico, the quantity imported into Mexico, and the government's tari_ revenue? If the government of Mexico introduces an import quota of 4 million cars a year, what will be the price of a car in Mexico, the quantity of cars produced in Mexico, and the quantity imported? What argument might be used to encourage the government of Mexico to introduce a $2,000 tariff on car imports from the United States? Who will gain and who will lose as a result of Mexico’s tariff?

Your Question: Assume that Canada is an importer of televisions and that there are no trade restrictions. Canadian consumers buy 1.2 million televisions per year, of which 600,000 are produced domestically and 600,000 are imported. The initial world price is $400. a. Suppose that a technological advance among Japanese television manufacturers causes the world price to fall from $400 to $300. Draw a graph to show how this change affects the welfare of Canadian consumers and Canadian producers and how it affects total surplus in Canada. Label the diagram carefully to show all the areas using letters of alphabets. (Do not shade the areas). b. After the fall in price, consumers buy 1.4 million televisions, of which 400,000 are produced domestically and 1 million are imported. Calculate the change (this will be only the area either gained or lost by consumers and producers) in consumer surplus, producer surplus and total surplus due to price reduction).

Consider a small country that exports steel. Suppose that a “pro-trade” government decides to subsidize the export of steel by paying a certain amount for each ton sold abroad. How does this export subsidy (similar to a tariff) affect the domestic price of steel, the quantity of steel produced, the quantity of steel consumed, and the quantity of steel exported? How does it affect consumer surplus, producer surplus, and government revenue? Is it is a good policy from the standpoint of economic efficiency?
