3. Two large countries are "players" in a game in which they each choose the tariff that maximizes welfare within their own country given what tariff the other country is charging. a. The tariff charged by each country is a decreasing function of the tariff the other country is charging. Why? b. Is the same thing true for a small country? That is, will a small country's optimal tariff depend upon the tariffs other countries charge? Why or why not?

3. How does a tariff affect someone?
If a tariff levied by a small country causes the welfare of the country to fall, why would such a country ever use a tariff? Because the revenue from the tariff is larger than the dead weight loss from the tariff. O Because the producers who gain from the tariff are much more numerous than the consumers who lose. O Because it always improves the country's terms of trade. Because the many consumers who lose from the tariff each lose so little that they do not bother to object.

Romania and Georgia both produce shmoos, and are the only producers of shimoos. The market demand and supply in this case are for the Romanian market. The Romanians decide to drop the current tariff on shmoos, which increases the total quantity consumed from 150,000 to 200,000. The tariff change causes the Georgian producers to increase their production from 50,000 to 150,000 If the tariff was a per unit tariff of $10, how much will the Romanian government lose by dropping the tariff Answers: $50,000 $100,000 $150,000 $200,000 None of the above OneDrive Screenshot saved The screenshot was added to your OneDrive.
When NAFTA was being debated in the U.S. Congress, Representative Jerry Lewis of California said: “Bill Johnson owns the largest Caterpillar distributorship in the West. There is currently a 20% tariff on his products sold in Mexico. Caterpillar has a 50 percent share of the Mexican market. The other half is dominated by Komatsu Company of Japan. Bill says, 'Imagine what will happen when the 20 percent tariff comes off our tractors and it remains on the ones from Japan.' Under what circumstances will this effect of NAFTA be beneficial, and when will it be harmful, to (i) the U.S., (ii) Mexico, and (iii) Japan?

1. Given below are two groups' (consumers, c, and a special interest group, i) true demands concerning a tariff on snack foods. Demand against (consumers): wtp($) = 80 + 2t Demand for (special interest): wtp($) = 50 - t Where t is the tariff rate. a. Graph the demand curves and explain how much tariff there will be if there were no free riding and all preferences were fully revealed. b. Now assume that "free riding" plagues the consumer group so that their revealed willingness to pay is given by: wtp($) = 30 + t. What are some causes of the "free riding"? Why is this not likely to happen to the producer group? c. Now what will be the equilibrium tariff rate? Graph this scenario in the same graph. d. Relate the outcome to a partial equilibrium tariff graph.
