4Gains from Trade
• Static Gains (PPF doesn’t shift)– Consumption gains– Production gains
• Dynamic Gains (PPF does shift)– Trade expands resources– Trade may raise productivity
• Political Gains

7Dynamic Gains from Trade
• Trade may speed economic growth
![Page 8: 1 The Instruments of Trade Policy: Part I, Tariffs INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS, ECO 486 Harmonized tariff schedule (HTS) of the United States: .](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062404/5518c71c550346991f8b584e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
8Dynamic Gains from Trade
• Trade may speed economic growth– When more K goods are imported than produced in
autarky, PPF shifts out.– Trade diffuses new technology.– Trade raises real income. Savings rise.– Free trade an effective anti-trust policy– Trade expands the market, allowing firms to exploit
IRS.– When trade spurs development, decreasing-costs
may occur.

• Reprise the gains from trade
• Analyze the welfare cost of tariffs
• Determine the optimal tariff
• Analyze export subsidies
• Explain the effective rate of protection

10Commercial Policy
• Governments action that may change the composition and volume of trade flows
– Tariffs
– Quotas
– Subsidies
– Other non-tariff barriers
• We’ll analyze the cost & benefits of these
![Page 11: 1 The Instruments of Trade Policy: Part I, Tariffs INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS, ECO 486 Harmonized tariff schedule (HTS) of the United States: .](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062404/5518c71c550346991f8b584e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11Tariffs
• Taxes on– Imports– Exports– Subsidies
• Components -- See HTS– Ad valorem-- % of value– Specific -- flat fee per unit– Compound -- both
![Page 12: 1 The Instruments of Trade Policy: Part I, Tariffs INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS, ECO 486 Harmonized tariff schedule (HTS) of the United States: .](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062404/5518c71c550346991f8b584e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12Positive Effects of Tariffs
• Revenue Effect -- provide tax revenue
• Protective Effect -- shelter domestic producers from foreign competition
![Page 13: 1 The Instruments of Trade Policy: Part I, Tariffs INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS, ECO 486 Harmonized tariff schedule (HTS) of the United States: .](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062404/5518c71c550346991f8b584e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13Tariff Terminology
• A pure-revenue tariff is one imposed on a good not produced domestically– A tariff on bananas imported to Iceland
• A prohibitive tariff is one that is so high that none of the good is imported– no revenue is collected
![Page 14: 1 The Instruments of Trade Policy: Part I, Tariffs INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS, ECO 486 Harmonized tariff schedule (HTS) of the United States: .](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062404/5518c71c550346991f8b584e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14Uses of Tariffs
• Developing countries may rely on tariffs to provide tax revenue
• Developed countries impose tariffs for their protective effect
![Page 15: 1 The Instruments of Trade Policy: Part I, Tariffs INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS, ECO 486 Harmonized tariff schedule (HTS) of the United States: .](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062404/5518c71c550346991f8b584e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15Tariffs as tools of int’l policy
• Most Favored Nation status, MFN– granted as a reward, withheld as a punishment
• Generalized System of Preferences, GSP– Most developed countries have GSP as means
of helping developing countries• access to markets of developed countries
![Page 16: 1 The Instruments of Trade Policy: Part I, Tariffs INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS, ECO 486 Harmonized tariff schedule (HTS) of the United States: .](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062404/5518c71c550346991f8b584e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16Welfare Cost Analysis
• Use (National) Supply and Demand– Partial equilibrium– One import or export good
• Measure Changes in Consumer Surplus and Producer Surplus
• Start with a small country– Its trade is too small to affect terms of trade
![Page 17: 1 The Instruments of Trade Policy: Part I, Tariffs INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS, ECO 486 Harmonized tariff schedule (HTS) of the United States: .](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062404/5518c71c550346991f8b584e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

44Optimal Tariffs
• Large countries may force foreign producer to pay part of their tariff.
• Because they are important customers, they force foreign suppliers to cut price.
• The optimal tariff maximizes the net welfare change
• Retaliation is likely to offset this gain

– Ten percent tariff reduces GDP by 1%
• Tariffs & NTBs often exclude new goods– GDP loss almost twice the tariff rate

70Consumers’ Surplus
• Consumers’ Surplus is the difference between consumers’ maximum willingness-to-pay and the amount they actually paid.
• The amount actually paid equals PQ.• Graphically, Consumers’ Surplus (CS) is the area
under the demand curve above P.
![Page 70: 1 The Instruments of Trade Policy: Part I, Tariffs INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS, ECO 486 Harmonized tariff schedule (HTS) of the United States: .](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062404/5518c71c550346991f8b584e/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
71Producer Surplus
• Producer surplus is the price of a good minus the opportunity cost of producing it.– Graphically, Producers’ Surplus (PS) is the area
under the Price line and above Supply.

74Graphing Tariffs
• Specific tariff raises the y-intercept of the export supply curve, p = a + b q
p + T = a + b q + T
• Ad-valorem tariff raises the slope and y-intercept of the export supply curvep = a + b q
p (1 + t) = (a + b q) (1 + t) = (1 + t) a + (1 + t) b q

91Imperfect Substitutes
• Increased trade in final products relative to raw materials and intermediate goods
• A final-good import and competing domestic products are often imperfect substitutes
• Tariff increases demand for the domestic good
• Increased price of domestic good increases demand for the import
• Welfare cost is more difficult to estimate
