Evaluate this statement: “If the United States imposed a uniform excise tariff on all foreign imports, all U.S. businesses and workers would benefit. Consequently, if a bill to impose a uniform excise tariff were introduced in the U.S. Congress, it would unanimously pass.”
Define tariff .
Part F. If home country imposes a specific tariff of $15 per unit of good Y imported, what is the tariff revenue? Show your work.
Part G. Assume that instead of a specific tariff, an import quota will be used on good Y. What is the amount of the quota that will have identical effects (in terms of amount of good Y imports and the domestic price of good Y) as the specific tariff of $15? Explain your reasoning.
Part H. Consider the use of import tariff vs. import quota in Home country that will result in the same amount of good Y imports and the domestic price of good Y. If quota rents are given to Foreign country, which policy, i.e., import tariff vs. import quota, is preferable by Home country on the basis of its effect on social welfare? Explain your reasoning.
