1 ECO 445/545: International Trade Jack Rossbach Spring 2016
2 Instruments of Trade Policy Many instruments available to affect international trade flows and prices. Non-exhaustive list: Tariffs: Taxes on Imports. Effect is to increase price of imports, decrease quantity of imports, and collect tariff revenues. Export Subsidies: Subsidies on exports. Effect is to decrease price of exports and increase quantity of exports. Must be funded by government. Quotas: Limits on quantity of imports. Effect is to increase price of imports, decrease quantity of imports. Export Restrictions: Limits on quantity of exports. Effect is to increase price of exports, decrease quantity of exports. Local Content Requirements: Requirement that a sufficient portion of value added for a good is local. Increases price of imports (due to higher production costs), and decreases quantity.
3 Effects of an Import Tariff
4 Imports/Exports Before Tariff Effects of an Import Tariff Exports Before Tariff Price Before Tariff Imports Before Tariff
5 Imports/Exports After Tariff Effects of an Import Tariff H Price After Tariff Imports After Tariff F Price After Tariff Exports After Tariff
6 Welfare Effects of Import Tariff in Home (Importing Country) Price Increases with Tariff Home Consumer Surplus Decreases
7 Welfare Effects of Import Tariff in Home (Importing Country) Price Increases with Tariff Home Producer Surplus Decreases
8 Welfare Effects of Import Tariff in Home (Importing Country)
9 Welfare Effects of Import Tariff in Home (Importing Country)
10 Welfare Effects of Import Tariff in Home (Importing Country) For Small Importers P T stays at P W No ToT Effects Unilateral tariffs bad for small countries =
11 Effects of an Import Tariff in Foreign (Exporting Country) b a Producer Loss = a + b Consumer Gain = b Net Loss = a
12 Welfare Effects of Tariffs Net Welfare effect is ambiguous for importing country Positive welfare effect if Terms of Trade effect dominates Negative welfare effect if efficiency loss dominates Net Welfare always negative for exporting country Cheaper exports. Producer loss dominates consumer gain since exporting. Net World Welfare always decreases
13 Effective Rate of Protection Effective rate of protection measures how much protection a tariff provides Tariffs have bigger impact on goods that have low value added Example: Effective Rate of Protection = Value Tariff Value Added Cars sell for $8,000, Cost $6,000 to produce; 50% tariff makes price $8,000x1.5=$12,000 Value Added = 8,000 6,000 = 2,000 Value Tariff = 12,000 8,000 = 4,000 Effective Rate of Protection = 4,000 = 2 [i.e. 200%] 2,000
14 Effects of an Export Subsidy in Home (Exporting Country)
15 Effects of an Export Subsidy in Home (Exporting Country) Net Loss = b + d + e + f + g
16 Welfare Effects of an Export Subsidy Net Welfare effect is bad for exporting country Have to pay for subsidy. Producer gain isn t enough to offset cost. Net Welfare positive for importing country. Cheaper imports. Consumer gain dominates producer loss since importing. Net World Welfare always decreases
17 Export Subsidies in Practice: Agriculture in EU European Union has price floor & export subsidies for agriculture Price Floor: Sets minimum price for agricultural goods. This raises price, means there is excess supply. Export Subsidies: Subsidizes exports for agricultural goods, to get rid of excess supply Agricultural Producers in EU gain, however, net welfare change from policy is negative Cost of policy is $30 billion/year, which is approximately 22% value of all farm output.
18 Export Subsidies in Practice: Agriculture in EU
19 Effects of an Import Quota Import Quotas restict quantity of imports Quotas typically enforced by issueing licenses to exporters Owners of quota licenses have market power, and can earn quota rents In practice, Government may choose to sell quota licenses. This allows government to capture quota rents, and the quota then acts like a tariff.
20 Import Quota in Practice: U.S. Sugar Industry United States has an elaborate set of policies for Sugar Industry Tariff Rate Quotas: Small amount of quantity can enter country at low tariff. After quota is met, imports are subject to high tariff, effectively stopping imports of sugar. Can model as a quota
21 Welfare Effects of Import Quota: Sugar Market in United States
22 Import Quota in Practice: U.S. Sugar Industry United States has an elaborate set of policies for Sugar Industry Tariff Rate Quotas: Small amount of quantity can enter country at low tariff. After quota is met, imports are subject to high tariff, effectively stopping imports of sugar. Can model as a quota Re-Export Programs: No tariffs on intermediate goods, if final output is exported Sugar is an intermediate good. Used in the production of other goods. Quotas mean costs are higher for U.S. producers that use sugar as an imput Re-Export program means costs are not higher for U.S. Producers if they export their output
23 Import Quota in Practice: U.S. Sugar Industry United States has an elaborate set of policies for Sugar Industry Loan-based Price Floors: Loans for sugar producers, based on price floor for sugar If market price is below price floor, government takes sugar as payment for loan If market price above price floor, producers sell sugar and uses revenue to repay loan
24 Import Quota in Practice: U.S. Sugar Industry Non-binding quota Binding quota
25 Local Content Requirements Local Content Requirements require goods to have certain amount of value added be domestic If no intermediate inputs. Then good is either all domestic or all foreign. Most goods have intermediate inputs, means intermediate inputs must be locally sourced Example: American Recovery and Re-Investment Act of 2009 Public works projects funded through act require U.S. Iron, steel, and manufactured goods Increases costs and occasionally causes delays due to trouble sourcing domestic products
26 Trade Agreements and Political Economy Large literature on political economy of trade protectionism and agreements Why do countries choose protectionism? Winners and losers from trade, either of which may lobby government. Redistribution from winners to losers isn t always feasible to make everybody better off. May have negative externalities to trade. Or positive externalities from domestic production. Why do organizations like WTO exist? How should FTAs be designed?
27 Welfare Effects of Free Trade vs Autarky Example Gains USA: 14% India: 21% China: 31% Mexico: 34% Ukraine: 175% Belgium: 505% Ossa (2015)
28 Optimal Tariffs If importing country is large enough for ToT effects to dominate. Optimal tariff may be non-zero
29 Trade Wars Tariffs are classic case of Prisoners Dilemma:
30 Unilateral Tariffs Saw in basic Ricardian framework that optimal unilateral tariffs are non-zero Problem is trade wars and prisoner s dilemma Both countries worse off if everybody imposes tariffs How much worse off depends on framework Larger welfare losses with monopolistic competition and with trade in intermediates
31 A Theory of the GATT/WTO General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) formed in 1947 Transformed into World Trade Organization (WTO) in 1995 In both forms, it acted to reduce trade restrictions through international bargaining Bagwell and Staiger (1999,2003) discuss why the GATT/WTO exists What problem does it solve? Focus on two features of the GATT/WTO: Reciprocity and Nondistrimination
32 What Problem Does the WTO Solve In a standard small open economy framework, unilateral tariffs are free trade No need for the WTO, will have free trade due to unilateral optimality (maximizes income) Provides hints as to why Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) might exist Countries may not maximize national income, e.g. political motivations Countries may be large
33 Non-Optimality of Unilateral Tariffs for Large Economies Bagwell and Staiger (1999) show that Unilateral Nash Equilibrium tariffs are not Pareto Optimal There is a terms-of-trade externality, which is only reason for non-optimality When an import tariff is imposed, part of cost is shifted to foreign exporters For wide class of gov. objective functions, ToT externality only source of inefficiency Purpose of trade agreements are therefore to address these ToT effects
34 Key Features of WTO Set up a game where countries negotiate over tariffs and formalize features of WTO Reciprocity: Mutual changes in trade policy such that world price is unchanged Changes in value of each country s imports equals changes in value of each country s exports Reciprocity eliminates inefficiency caused by world price effects Key feature is that it separates outcome of negotiations from bargaining power of negotiators Non-discrimination: In a multicountry framework, tariffs can be discriminatory and inefficient even under bilateral reciprocity, therefore need non-discrimination so tariffs are applied uniformly on a given product across all trading partners Preferential FTAs circumvent non-discrimination and undermine the WTO/GATT
35 United States Average Tariff Rate over Time Smoot-Hawley GATT NAFTA/WTO
36 Effects of World Trade Organization The WTO has been very successful at reducing tariffs and protectionism Some industries remain highly protected (e.g. agriculture and textiles) Breakdown of Gains from Removing Remaining Tariffs and Trade Protections
37 Other Gains from Openness Protectionism may lead to inefficiencies and misallocation Cartels and Monopolies form to lobby for protection and increase prices When firms are sheltered from competition, may not innovate Examples: Iron-ore industry in United States: Inefficiently run before it became possible to import iron ore pellets. Quickly reformed under threat of losing shares to foreign countries. Sugar-beet industry in United States: Cartel formed to lobby for sugar-beet protectionism and keep out both domestic and foreign competition. Computer industry in Brazil: Protectionism under infant industry argument. Never innovated or developed good computers, only suffered high prices.
