Suppose that one country (Country A) subsidizes its exports and the other country (Country B) imposes a "countervailing" tariff that offsets its effect, so that in the end relative prices in the second
country are unchanged. What happens to the terms of trade? What about welfare in the two countries?
O A. From Country A's perspective, world relative supply will increase and world relative demand will increase. This will improve its terms of trade. The countervailing tariff exacerbates this effect
so Country A will definitely gain and Country B definitely loses.
O B. From Country A's perspective, world relative supply will decrease and world relative demand will increase. This will improve its terms of trade. The countervailing tariff exacerbates this
effect so Country A will definitely gain and Country B definitely loses.
C. From Country A's perspective, world relative supply will decrease and world relative demand will increase. This will worsen its terms of trade. The countervailing…

What were some of the reasons for the decline in the import-substituting
industrialization strategy in favor of a strategy that promotes open trade?
O High rates of effective protection allowed industries to survive when their cost of
production was three to four times higher than the price of the imports they
replaced.
O Protectionist policies had a negative effect on incentives, which led to rent-seeking
or corruption in some developing countries.
O Countries pursuing import substitution were not catching up with advanced
countries.
O All of the above.
