The EU, a former major importer of gas from Russai, went ahead with sanctions. Imagine, if you will, that the respective heads of state get together and try to negotiate a trade agreement to end sanctions. They each have three possible choices: (a) Maintain tariffs against the other nation (T); (b) Seek mediation from the WTO, which would implement an international trade agreement at a small cost (M); (c) Unilaterally remove tariffs (F). The payoff matrix is as given below. Is there a dominant strategy for either player? Find all the (pure strategy) Nash equilibria in the game.

Protectionism helps new industries develop. Protectionism prevents firms from strategically dumping goods to monopolize the market. Trade creates more jobs than it destroys, i.e., free trade leads to net job creation. Protectionism saves jobs. Answer Bank Many companies have succeeded without protectionist policies. Trade leads to higher wages and opens up more opportunities for individuals in less developed nations. It is often difficult to distinguish between predatory pricing and legal pricing strategies.
