20) It is argued that a tariff may help promote employment in a single industry, but is not likely to help employment 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, under conditions of a flexible exchange rate regime (assuming the Marshal-Lerner Conditions hold) 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 exports, and negatively affect this sector's employment.

21) The Metzler Paradox is a special case of the optimum tariff concept. Discuss this assertion. Would the optimum tariff tend to be a high one or a low one in the case where this paradox exists? What conditions would be needed in the international markets for a country's exports for this paradox to exist? Why do you suppose empirical support for the existence of this paradox has not been forthcoming to date?
Answer: The Metzler Paradox describes an unlikely situation in which the imposition of a tariff not only improves a country's welfare, but also improves that of its domestic consumers. If this paradox were present then the magnitude of the optimum tariff would tend to be large, since the welfare decreasing decrease in imports is not present in this case (the imports actually increase, as world prices drastically drop). The Metzler Paradox could occur only if the foreign offer curves are inelastic. It is not likely to be observed because trade elasticities tend to be relatively large. Also, were it to exist, its activation by a large country would tend to evoke foreign retaliation.

22) Some argue that tariffs always hurt the imposing country's economic welfare, and are typically designed to shift resources from one sector to another, protected or preferred one, within an economy. Find and discuss a counterexample to this argument.

23) The effective rate of protection is a weighted average of nominal tariffs and tariffs on imported inputs. 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 imported inputs). The end result is in fact to create effective rates of protection for downstream, or final manufacturing processes that are often much higher than nominal tariffs on these products. An important group, which is hurt by this are exporters of raw materials and components in developing countries.

24) The two deadweight triangles are the Consumption distortion and Production distortion losses. It is easy 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 market altogether. 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 associated employment) 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.
Answer: The Production Distortion represents an inefficient shift of society's resources to produce a good, which it could not sell profitably at world prices. Since (with full employment assumed) these resources were formerly used to produce export goods, which could compete profitably, the net result is a loss in real income to the country.

4) Economic theory in general, and trade theory in particular are replete with equivalencies. For example, it is argued that for any specific tariff one can find an equivalent ad valorum tariff; and that for any quota one can calculate a tariff equivalent. Discuss conditions or situations under which a specific and an ad valorum tariff are not equivalent. Discuss conditions or situations when a tariff and a quota are not equivalent.
Answer: E.g., during a period of price inflation, an ad valorum tariff would become increasingly more effective. The government does not receive any of the quota revenues, unless the import licenses are sold or auctioned.
