Draw a domestic supply-and-demand diagram for a product in which the United States does not have a comparative advantage. What impact do foreign imports have on domestic price and quantity? On your diagram show a protective tariff that eliminates approximately one-half of the assumed imports. What are the price-quantity effects of this tariff on $(a)$ domestic consumers, $(b)$ domestic producers, and $(c)$ foreign exporters? How would the effects of a quota that creates the same amount of imports differ? LO38.4
