Suppose that the United States increases its tariff on steel imports. Steel prices to U.S. consumers would be expected to:
(A) Increase, and the foreign demand for U.S. exports would increase
(B) Decrease, and the foreign demand for U.S. exports would increase
(C) Increase, and the foreign demand for U.S. exports would decrease
(D) Decrease, and the foreign demand for U.S. exports would decrease.
If higher tariffs, such as those enacted by the Smoot-Hawley trade bill, reduce the imports of the United States, which of the following will
be most likely to occur?
a. U.S. employment will increase.
b. The unemployment rate of the United States will decline.
c. U.S. exports will increase because foreigners will want to buy more from U.S. producers.
d.
U.S. exports will decline because foreigners will be earning fewer of the dollars needed to purchase goods and services from
Americans.
Draw a domestic supply and demand diagram for a product in which the United States does not have a comparative advantage. What impact do foreign imports have on domestic price and quantity? On your diagram show a protective tariff that eliminates approximately one-half of the assumed imports. What are the price-quantity effects of this tariff on ( a) domestic consumers, (b) domestic producers, and (c) foreign exporters? How would the effects of a quota that creates the same amount of imports differ?
