'Why would a country want to erect trade barriers such as tariffs or quotas? to expand their markets to stimulate the economy to make goods cheaper to protect domestic jobs'
Shalini T.
Based on what we know about the economic impact of tariffs and quotas, which of the following is a historically flawed reason for a government to have restrictive trade policies? When concerns over human rights and the environment are used to increase tariffs. When a country becomes convinced that its trading partners are engaging in dumping or currency manipulation. When the value of the dollar fluctuates compared to foreign currency. When a government has decided that it needs to eliminate a balance of trade deficit with another nation. All of the above. The passage of NAFTA in 1994 led to an increase in exports between the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. As a result, total job creation in each nation increased and wages for American factory workers decreased. This is one reason why economists have not supported President Biden's recent executive order requiring government agencies to "Buy American." The post-World War II period represented the revenue era in U.S. tariff policy. This led to job creation and a healthier economy. 1930 was the year the Smoot-Hawley bill passed.
