Consider a small country that exports steel. Supposethat a “pro-trade” government decides to subsidizethe export of steel by paying a certain amount foreach ton sold abroad. How does this export subsidyaffect the domestic price of steel, the quantity ofsteel produced, the quantity of steel consumed, andthe quantity of steel exported? How does it affectconsumer surplus, producer surplus, governmentrevenue, and total surplus? Is it a good policy fromthe standpoint of economic efficiency? (Hint: Theanalysis of an export subsidy is similar to the analysisof a tariff.)

What would happen to U.S. economic welfare if the U.S. eliminated tariffs on solar panel imports? A. U.S. economic welfare would increase because of the social gains from increased U.S. consumption of solar panels B.
