Assume South Park is initially closed to trade. Domestic supply
and demand for winter hats is given by the following equations: D =
60 – 4P, S = 2P – 6.
a. Suppose South Park opens up to trade and the world price for
winter hats is $6. What happens to domestic production and
consumption? What is the quantity imported? (5 points)
b. Suppose the mayor of South Park imposes a $3 tariff on winter
hat imports. What effect does the tariff have on the welfare of
consumers, producers and the government in South Park? What is the
net welfare effect of the tariff? (5 points)
