Canada’s forestry industry (composed mainly of those involved in the lumber industry) directly employs about 370,000 workers and indirectly employs an additional 510,000 people in support services. Forestry products account for nearly 3 percent of Canada’s gross domestic product (GDP) and 14.1 percent of its exports. Lobbyists for the U.S. lumber and timber producers recently filed a complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) and the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) alleging that the Canadian government provided a subsidy to its lumber producers and caused harm to U.S. lumber and timber producers. As a result of these concerns, one U.S. lobbyist proposed the imposition of a 15 percent excise tariff on all Canadian forestry products. Determine the likely impact of the proposed 15 percent excise tariff on the equilibrium price and quantity of lumber exchanged in the United States. Would domestic consumers and producers benefit from the proposed tariff? Explain…

Internal labor markets have higher wages and benefits. Reason(s) firms may voluntarily form internal labor markets is to: a. lower the cost of production. Due to their size, large firms have control problems (effectively converting labor power into output). Forming internal labor markets (or bureaucratic control) solves this problem. b. lower their taxes. Large corporations that form internal labor markets and pay health benefits receive a tax write-off that more than make up for the higher wages and benefits. c. lower the cost of production. For firms that have significant skills that can only be learned on the job, forming internal labor markets will lower their turnover rate. Thus, even with higher wages and benefits the cost of production falls because of higher skill level of their employees.

The chamber of commerce has virtually no budget for tourism promotion. State law authorizes an added 2 percent local tourism promotion tax to the 4 percent state rooms tax. However, enacting the added tax must be approved by local lodging establishments. Vote is apportioned by number of rooms owned. Managers of the two larger resorts are in favor of the tax, but they suspect that the many smaller motel owners will not approve the tax. Added tourism is greatly needed to stimulate the local economy. How can this impasse be resolved? From where might the leadership for resolving the impasse originate?
