"While the Imposition by a Country's Government of an Import

question 8

Essay

"While the imposition by a country's government of an import tariff on a good clearly injures the country's domestic consumers of the good, the tariff helps
domestic import-competing producers and enhances overall country welfare
(i.e., the "net welfare effect" is positive). Similarly, the granting of an export
subsidy by the country's government to home producers of a good also injures
home consumers of the good, but the subsidy helps home producers and enhances overall country welfare."Utilizing traditional supply/demand analysis, illustrate and explain the parts of the above statement that are True (if any) and the parts that are False (if any). (You can use a "small-country" case throughout your answer. Also, assume that there are barriers to the import of the good into the country granting the export subsidy.)
