The United States Could Begin Building a New Type of Flat

question 18

Essay

The United States could begin building a new type of flat panel 3-dimensional television (FP3D). However, Japanese firms have been producing such televisions for a couple of years and are already low-cost, high-quality producers. Should the United States impose temporary protection in the form of a tariff on this product to protect the domestic industry until it is mature enough to compete with the Japanese producers? Why or why not?
