(a) Who gains and who loses within a country when a tariff is imposed? Under what circumstances would you expect the losses to outweigh the benefits? Could the benefits ever outweigh the losses? (b) A tariff reduces the quantity imported below the free-trade level. From a domestic welfare perspective would it be better for a country to replace a given tariff with a quota that directly reduces imports to the same quantity as the tariff? Explain your answer using diagrams.

Imagine that two identical countries have restricted imports to identical levels, but that one has done so using tariffs while the other has done so using quotas. After these policies are in place, both countries experience identical, balanced expansions of domestic spending. Where should the demand expansion cause a greater real currency appreciation, in the tariff-using country or in the quota-using country?
