  17. 8.6 Ways to Measure Tariff Level • simple average 简单平均 • weighted average 加权平均

  18. 8.7 What Happens When a Small Country Imposes an Import Tariff?

  19. Consumer Surplus 消费者剩余 PY Consumer Surplus P0 Expenditure D O Y0 Y

  20. Producer Surplus 生产者剩余 PY Producer Surplus S P0 Costs O Y0 Y

  21. PY Sd H E P0 V G P1+t SW+t a b c d P1 SW Z F Dd O Y2 Y4 Y0 Y3 Y1 Y

  22. Loss in Consumer Surplus: a + b + c + d a : Redistribution Effect c : Revenue Effect b : Production Effect A deadweight loss from inefficient domestic production d : Consumption Effect A deadweight loss from higher price and lower consumption volume b+d : Total deadweight losses

  23. 8.8 What Happens When a Large Country Imposes an Import Tariff?

  24. PY Sd Sd+W+t b t Sd+W d P1 a c P0 P2 e Dd O Y1 Y3 Y2 Y0 Y

  25. a , b, c, d The same as in the small country case. e : terms-of-trade effect Tariff revenue from the exporting country

  26. Net Welfare effect If e>b+d, domestic welfare If e<b+d, domestic welfare In any case, world welfare

  27. Nationally Optimal Tariff • Nationally Optimal Tariff t*=1/Sm Sm: Price elasticity of foreign export supply curve

  28. Nationally Optimal Tariff • Beggar-thy-neighbor policy • Tariff war

  29. 8.9 The Effective Rate of Protection Under free trade Domestic Value-added (V) V0 = Pf – Pi f : imported finished product i : imported inputs

  30. V0 = Pf – Pi Under tariff protection V1 = Pf (1+tf) – Pi (1+ti) If V1 > V0 , Protection is effective. ERP = --------- = ------------ a= Pi / Pf V1 - V0 tf – ati V0 1- a

  31. ERP and Tariff Structure Suppose Country A imports X, Pf =20, Pi =15, a=3/4,. • If tf=10% ,ti=0%; ERP=40%. • If tf=10% ,ti=10%; ERP=10%. • If tf=10% ,ti=20%; ERP=-20%.

  32. ERP and Tariff Structure If tf > ti , ERP> tf . If tf = ti , ERP= tf = ti . If tf < ti , ERP< tf .

  33. Summary • Effects of import tariffs • Small country • Large country • Effective rate of protection
