Trade and Welfare Autarky/closed economy – the nation is self-

sufficient, no trade takes place between nations, and markets are in equilibrium.

Arbitrage – purchasing commodities in one market at a low price and rapidly selling them in another market at a higher price.

Partial equilibrium and excess supply – goods will always move from where prices are low (excess supply) to where prices are high (excess demand).

The equilibrium price in the U.S. market is PUS.at prices above PUS, themarket would exhibit excess supply conditions.

At price PE, for example,producers would supplyQSUS3 while consumerswould only want QDUS4.

The market equilibrium inJapan occurs at Pj. At pricesbelow Pj, excess demandconditions will occur.

At PE, for example, consumerswere willing to buy QDj4 while producers only wished to supply QSj3.

Welfare Effects of TariffConsumer surplus before the tariff on the previousslide was equal to area a+b+c+d+e+f+g.

After the tariff, consumer surplus would fall to area e+f+g, or a loss of area a+b+c+d.

Producer surplus increases from area h to area a+hafter the tariff.

The tariff revenue received by the government is equal to area c.

Dead-weight loss to society is equal to area b+d.Page 377
