Economic impact of tariffs

Generally speaking, when a country has a strong economic strength and an advantage in international competition, it often pursues a free trade policy, and tariffs mainly reflect the function of taxation; On the contrary, when a country's economic development is backward and its international competitiveness is not strong, it often pursues a trade protectionist policy. At this time, the protective function of tariff plays an important or even major role.

Imposing tariffs will cause changes in the international and domestic prices of imported goods, thus affecting the adjustment of production, trade and consumption of exporting and importing countries and causing income redistribution. The various effects of tariffs on the economies of importing countries and exporting countries are called the economic effects of tariffs.

Historically, tariffs on imported goods, whether specific or ad valorem, have been an important source of government revenue. However, in contemporary times, the main function of tariffs is no longer to increase government tax revenue, but to block the entry of foreign goods and protect the domestic market and related industries. Of course, import tariffs vary from country to country, with the same range, and the economic impact on small countries and big countries can be different.

Suppose the importing country is a small trading country, that is, the import of a certain commodity in this country accounts for a small part of the world's imports. So the change of this country's import volume can't affect the world market price, just like a completely competitive enterprise, it is only the price receiver. In this way, after the country imposes tariffs, the domestic price increase of imported goods is equal to the tariff rate, and all tariffs are borne by consumers in the importing country.

If the importing country is a big trading country, that is, the import of a certain commodity accounts for a large share of the world's imports, then the change of the country's imports will affect the world price. Therefore, although the tariffs levied by big countries also have various tariff economic effects of the above-mentioned small countries, because big countries can influence world prices, the net effect of the comparison of the costs and benefits of tariffs collected from the partial equilibrium analysis is different from that of small countries.
