The Determinants of Trade
• Without international trade, domestic supply & domestic demand meet at an equil. price.
• World price = price of a good that prevails in world market
• If world price < domestic price, you import;if world price > domestic price, you export
- Both based on comparative advantage

The Effects of a Tariff
• Tariff - tax on imports• Tariff raises price of imports above the world
price (by size of tariff) and pushes it closer to price that would prevail without trade

Effects of a Tariff
• By raising price, it reduces the quantity of imports and moves the market closer to equilibrium without trade
• Domestic sellers are better off, domestic buyers are worse off
• Total surplus has fallen, creating DWL (because a tariff is a tax)
