question 37

Essay

Illustrate and explain how a country could attain its optimum tariff position (optimum terms of trade) on the foreign offer curve by using an import quota rather than a tariff. Could this position also be attained by negotiation of a "voluntary" export restraint (VER) with the foreign country rather than by the use of a tariff? Why or why not?
