Suppose that the production of $1 miilion worth of steel in Canada requires $100,000 worth of taconite. Canada's nominal tariff rates for importing these goods are 20 percent for steel and 10 percent for taconite. Given this information, calculate the effective rateof protection for Canada's steel industry.

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.)
