Trade and Welfare
Autarky/closed economy – A country is self-sufficientNo trade takes place between nationsMarkets 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).

Why Restrict Trade?
To protect a new or infant industryTo counter unfair foreign
competitionTo improve the balance of paymentsTo protect national health, the
environment or food safety

Welfare Effects of a Tariff
CS before tariff on the previous slide was equal to Area (A+B+C+D+E+F+G)
After the tariff, the CS would fall to Area (E+F+G), or a loss of Area (A+B+C+D)
PS ↑ from area H to Area (A+H) after tariff
The tariff revenue received by the gov’t is Area C
Dead-weight loss to society is Area (B+D)Page 377

Tariff Rate Quota (TRQ)
TRQ: combines two trade policy tools Quota component: Imports entering
under quota portion of a TRQ are subject to a lower (sometimes zero) tariff
Imports above the quota’s threshold face a much higher (usually prohibitive) tariff

Windfall ProfitsFor 1st 5 tons imported, price =
$150/ton ($100 price + $Tariff1) Importer obtains foreign corn for
$150 and sell domestically for $200 → Area D windfall profits
If exporters restrict corn shipments and raise price to $200/ton
Any portion of Area D captured by exporters represents a welfare loss to importing nation

Rationale for Export Policy
Dispose of surplus productionLimit price increases in domestic
marketsGrow processing industries and
employmentLimit capability of another nationEncourage policy reforms by
denying trade

Examples of Economic Integration
Free trade areas 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement
(NAFTA) Canada, Mexico and U.S.
Free trade agreements with S. Korea, Panama, and Columbia Signed by Pres. Obama in October 2011
Unions: European Union and its common agricultural policy (CAP)27 member countriesTransferred some of their sovereignty or
lawmaking authority

Reasons for U.S. Preferential Trading Agreements…
Economic or political reasons tied to U.S. strategic interest
Timely reductions in barriers to tradeCounter economic and political power
of other trading agreementsReduce illegal immigrationFoster political stability and economic
prosperity

Impact of Trade Diversion
Page 392
Trade Diversion Assume one has a free-trade agreement Lower-cost imports from a non-member nation Replaced (diverted) by higher cost imports from a
member nation
Trade diversion ↓ global welfare Shifts production from more efficient producers
outside Agreement To less efficient producers within the
Agreement
Trade Diversion may result in Agreement members gaining or losing individually
![Page 31: Agricultural Trade Policy and Arrangements Chapter 19.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649cdc5503460f949a7b4c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Trade Diversion: Assume one has a free-trade agreement Lower-cost imports from a non-member
nation Replaced (diverted) by higher cost imports
from a member nation
Assume the following Both the EU and the U.S. compete for the
Mexican market The EU is initially the largest supplier to the
Mexican market, MEU > MUS There is an equal tariff, t, applied to the
imports from both countries

Mexico because PEU+t < PUS+t

SummaryFree trade affects exporting and importing nations
differentlyRestrictions take the form of tariff and nontariff
barriers.PTAs can take many forms, including free trade
areas and economic unionsPTAs should lead to trade creation and increased
welfare of member nations.PTAs take on political importance.

World Oil Trade: China and ROW
China and Venezuela are two economies that obviously benefit from oil trade.
A graph of all importing nations would look similar to our one for China.
A graph of all exporting nations would look similar to our one for Venezuela.
By combining exporters and importers in systematic way, we can identify an equilibrium world price.

World Oil Trade: China and ROW
Why is crude oil Excess Supply (ES) upward sloping? At higher and higher prices, exporting nations
not bound by OPEC production constraints start producing more oil
Exploration increases Stocks (inventories) decline Domestic consumption declines at higher prices

World Oil Trade: China and ROW
Why is crude oil Excess Demand (ED) downward sloping? As prices rise, importers demand less (i.e.,
people start driving less, purchasing hybrids) As prices rise, suppliers in importing region
increase output. (i.e., U.S. oil production rises.)

Let's work through some examples using the above model of trade The emerging tiger Former Vice-President Gore: Tax what you
burn, not what you earn policy. How could a hurricane cause gasolines prices to
rise while at the same time cause crude oil prices to fall at the same time?
