A Senator announces his past support for protectionism. “The U.S. trade deficit must be reduced, but import quotas only annoy our trading partners. If we subsidize U.S. exports instead, we can reduce the deficit by increasing our competitiveness.” Using a three-panel diagram from Chapter 19 in the Mankiw textbook, show the effects of an export subsidy on U.S. net exports, national saving, domestic investment, net capital outflows, the interest rate, and the real exchange rate.
