2. Uganda is a small of Uganda country. The
government wants to protect domestic
producers of rice by imposing a quota, an
ad valorem tariff or an equivalent specific
tariff. The three trade barriers would be
equivalent in the sense that either one will
initially limit imports to a given amount. Once
either of these measures is imposed, the
government will not switch to a different
measure or change its magnitude. Suppose the
world supply of rice (relative to the world
demand for rice) is expected to increase in the
future. You are a lobbyist for producers of rice in
Uganda and you only care about their interests.
Which trade barrier would you advocate on their
behalf - a quota, an ad valorem tariff, or a specific
tariff? Which one would you advocate next?
Explain carefully using a numerical example. (Feel
free to use a graph as well if you want.)
(Consider ONLY the interests of
PRODUCERS of rice in Uganda.)

- 8. The arguments for restricting trade Suppose there is a policy debate regarding the United States imposing trade restrictions on imported tires: A congresswoman from a state with several tire factories argues that the government should impose a tariff on tires because they are a necessary input into the production of various weapons. Free trade would make the United States overly dependent on foreign countries for the supply of tires. In case of a war, the United States might not be able to make or purchase enough tires and, therefore, would not be able to make enough weapons to defend itself. Which of the following justifications is the congresswoman using to argue for the trade restriction on tires?

(i) What is the domestic price, the domestic production and imports in free trade? (ii) Now suppose there is a tariff t so that the domestic price is p" +t (such that there is still some imports). What is then the domestic production and imports? (iii) Suppose now that instead of a tariff t, a quota is introduced having the characteristic that the number of units imported is the same as the import level with the tariff t.
