Since 2017, the U.S. and other countries have moved closer to the ____ era which, in 1930, saw the passage of ____ and ____. a. Reciprocity; restriction; The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act; The Great Depression b. Restriction; reciprocity; NAFTA; job losses in the United States. c. Revenue; restriction; Article One, Section Eight, Clause three of the Constitution; as expected, a decrease in total revenue. d. Reciprocity; restriction; the 16th amendment; World War II e. None of the above. 8. Based on what we know about the economic impact of tariffs and quotas, which of the garners some conditional support from economists? a. When concerns over human rights and the environment are used to increase tariffs. b. When a country becomes convinced that its trading partners are engaging in dumping or currency manipulation. c. When the value of the dollar fluctuates compared to foreign currency. d. When a government has decided that it needs to eliminate a balance of trade deficit with another nation. e. When, with temporary protection, an infant industry could emerge and show long-run comparative advantages over other countries. 9. Historically, many people have argued that tariffs and quotas should be used to prevent other nations from engaging in predatory pricing. For economists, this argument is largely flawed ______ because: a. Predatory pricing leads to fewer companies over time; higher prices and monopoly profits for the successful predator. b. Predatory pricing may lead to large discounts for consumers in the short run, but the elimination of job opportunities in the long run as domestic suppliers close. c. Predatory pricing has been proven to be an inefficient practice since the "predators" must be willing to incur initial losses and do not have the power to control markets indefinitely. d. Predatory pricing leads to companies with no comparative advantage being dominant in the markets they pursue.

The United States sugar industry has enjoyed trade protection for several years. As a result, sugar prices in the U.S. are higher than the average world price. Suppose that the domestic demand and domestic supply for sugar are as provided in the table below (assume continuous, linear domestic demand and supply curves which include the following data points for sugar): Price ($ per pound) 0 0.06 0.12 0.18 0.24 0.30 0.36 0.42 Quantity Demanded Domestically (Millions of Pounds per Year) 42,000 36,000 30,000 24,000 18,000 12,000 6,000 Quantity Supplied Domestically (Millions of Pounds per Year) 0 4,500 9,000 13,500 18,000 22,500 27,000 31,500 A. Suppose the world price for sugar is $0.06 per pound. If the U.S. opens itself up to trade, will the U.S. become an importer or exporter of sugar? How many units will the U.S. import or export? (must provide the correct answers for full credit, no additional work is necessary) B. Relative to a no-trade scenario, does total net benefits to society increase or decrease in this market when the U.S. opens itself up to trade? By how much? (must provide the correct answers for full credit, no additional work is necessary) C. Now suppose that the U.S. government imposes a $0.06 per pound tariff on imported sugar. What happens to imports of sugar as a result of the tariff? (will they increase or decrease? By how much?) How much tariff revenue will the tariff provide for the U.S. government? (must provide the correct answers for full credit, no additional work is necessary) D. Does imposing a tariff on sugar result in a deadweight loss in this market? If so, calculate the size of the deadweight loss. (must provide the correct answers for full credit, no additional work is necessary) If not, why not?
