Trade restrictions simply reshuffle jobs by increasing employment in the protected industry and reducing employment in other industries. The costs to domestic jacket consumers may outweigh the benefits of jobs saved in the jacket industry.arrow_forwardEconomists generally agree that trade restrictions are detrimental to trade and reduce government efficiency.
