3. The world price of sugar is $.10 per lb., but import quotas raise the U.S. price to $.225 per lb. a. Compute the tariff equivalent of the quota (as a percent of the world price). b. Due to the high price of sugar in the U.S., high fructose corn sweetener emerges as an economic substitute for sugar. As a result it is expected that the demand for sugar will fall over time. From the perspective of the U.S. sugar industry, are they better off with tariff protection, or a quota which is equivalent today, but which stays fixed over time? Explain using a supply and demand diagram in your answer.

Consider a small country that exports steel. Suppose that a "pro-trade" government decides to subsidize the export of steel by paying a certain amount for each ton sold abroad. 1. How does this export subsidy affect the 1. domestic price of steel, 2. the quantity of steel produced, 3. the quantity of steel consumed, and 4. the quantity of steel exported? 2. How does it affect 1. consumer surplus, 2. producer surplus, 3. government revenue, and 4. total surplus? 3. Is it a good policy from the standpoint of economic efficiency? (Hint: the analysis of an export subsidy is similar to the analysis of a tariff)
