The effective rate of protection is a weighted average of nominal tariffs and tariffs on importedinputs. It has been noted that in most industrialized countries, the nominal tariffs on raw materials or intermediate components or products are lower than on final-stage products meant for final markets.Why would countries design their tariff structures in this manner? Who tends to be helped, and who is harmed by this cascading tariff structure?Answer: The cascading tariff structure is probably the result of systematic lobbying on the part of manufacturing interests and lobbies to lower costs of production (in terms of importedinputs). The end result is in fact to create effective rates of protection for downstream, orfinal manufacturing processes that are often much higher than nominal tariffs on theseproducts. An important group, which is hurt by this are exporters of raw materials andcomponents in developing countries.2. The two deadweight triangles are the Consumption distortion and Production distortion losses. It iseasy to understand why the Consumption distortion constitutes a loss for society. After all it raises the prices of goods to consumers, and even causes some consumers to drop out of the marketaltogether. It seems paradoxical that the Production distortion is considered an equivalent burden on society. After all, in this case, profits increase, and additional production (with its associatedemployment) comes on line. This would seem to be an offset rather than an addition to the burden or loss borne by society. Explain why the Production distortion is indeed a loss to society, and what is wrong with the logic that leads to the apparent paradox.Chapter 8 The Instruments of Trade Policy 87 Answer: The Production Distortion represents an inefficient shift of society’s resources to producea good, which it could not sell profitably at world prices. Since (with full employmentassumed) these resources were formerly used to produce export goods, which couldcompete profitably, the net result is a loss in real income to the country.3. It is argued that a tariff may help promote employment in a single industry, but is not likely to helpemployment in general. Discuss.Answer: A general tariff on all imports is equivalent to a depreciation in the value of the country’s currency. It would raise the prices of all imports, and have a considerable income effect.This income effect will have a negative effect on total consumption of the import-competing sector (as well as the exportables and non-tradables). In addition, underconditions of a flexible exchange rate regime (assuming the Marshal-Lerner Conditionshold) it will lower the supply of the country’s currency in the foreign exchange market,and hence cause an appreciation of the currency. This will harm the country’s export s, andnegatively affect this sector’s employment.Quantitative/Graphing ProblemsAssume that Boeing (U.S.) and Airbus (European Union) both wish to enter the Hungarian market with the next new generation airliner. They both have identical cost and demand conditions (asindicated in the graph above).1. Assume that Boeing is the first to enter the Hungarian market. Without a government subsidy whatprice would they demand, and what would be their total profits?Answer: $12 Million, $162. What is the consumer surplus enjoyed by Hungarian consumers of Boeing aircraft in the abovesituation?Answer: $8 Million88 Krugman/Obstfeld •Seventh Edition3. Suppose the European government provides Airbus with a subsidy of $4 for each airplane sold, andthat the subsidy convinces Boeing to exit the Hungarian market. Now Airbus would be themonopolist in this market. What price would they charge, and what would be their total profits?Answer: $10 Million, and $36 Million4. What would be the cost of the subsidy to European taxpayers?Answer: $24 Million5. What happens to the Consumer Surplus of Hungarian customers as a result of this subsidy?Answer: An increase of $10 Million.6. What is the revenue gain or loss for Europe as a whole (including taxpayers)?Answer:A gain of $12 Million.7. The U.S. producer Boeing, and the European Airbus are contemplating the next generation mid-sized fuel efficient generation of air carrier. If both produce their respective models, then eachwould lose $50 million (because the world market is just not large enough to enable either to capture potential scale economies if they had to share the world market). If neither produce, then each one’s net gain would of course be zero. If either one produces while the other does not, then the producer will gain $500 million.(a) What is the correct strategy for either company?Answer: enter the market first. Then the other company knows that if it also enters, it will not be able to cover costs.(b) What is the correct strategy for a government seeking to maximize national economic welfare?Answer: Subsidize its producer. If this allows it to enter first, then we get the same solution as answer (a) above.(c) If a national government decides to subsidize its aircraft producer, how high should be thesubsidy?Answer: Any figure above $50 million (e.g. $55 million). This would promise positive profits regardless of the decision of the competitor. The “winner” then may turn out to be thatcountry whose voters are least sensitive to on-the-books, transparent subsidies given torich corporations (these subsidies will have to continue year after year until the othercountry stops its subsidies).。
