Consider the arguments for restricting trade.a. Imagine that you are a lobbyist for timber, anestablished industry suffering from low-pricedforeign competition, and you are trying to getCongress to pass trade restrictions. Which twoor three of the five arguments discussed in thechapter do you think would be most persuasiveto the average member of Congress? Explain yourreasoning.b.

Suppose that Congress imposes a tariff on importedautomobiles to protect the U.S. auto industry fromforeign competition. Assuming that the United Statesis a price taker in the world auto market, show thefollowing on a diagram: the change in the quantityof imports, the loss to U.S. consumers, the gainto U.S. manufacturers, government revenue, andthe deadweight loss associated with the tariff. Theloss to consumers can be decomposed into threepieces: a gain to domestic producers, revenue forthe government, and a deadweight loss. Use yourdiagram to identify these three pieces.
Assume the United States is an importer of televisionsand there are no trade restrictions. U.S. consumersbuy 1 million televisions per year, of which 400,000 areproduced domestically and 600,000 are imported.a. Suppose that a technological advance amongJapanese television manufacturers causes theworld price of televisions to fall by $100. Draw agraph to show how this change affects the welfareof U.S. consumers and U.S. producers and how itaffects total surplus in the United States.b. After the fall in price, consumers buy 1.2 milliontelevisions, of which 200,000 are produced domesticallyand 1 million are imported. Calculate thechange in consumer surplus, producer surplus,and total surplus from the price reduction.c. If the government responded by putting a$100 tariff on imported televisions, what wouldthis do?

Consider a small country that exports steel. Supposethat a ''pro--trade'' government decides to subsidizethe <:xport of s teel by paying a certain amount for eachton sold abroad. How docs this export subsidy affectthe domestic price of steel, the quantity of steel produced,the quantity of steel consunuxS, and the quantityof steel exported? How docs it affect consumersurplus, producer surplus, g·ovemment revenue, andtolal surplus? Is it a good policy from the standpointof oconomic efficiency? (Hint: The analysis of anexport subsidy is similar to the analysis of a tariff.)
