(R20-B) Voluntary Trade & Trade Barriers
29
Why do we trade? Why don’t we just produce all of our needs/wants for ourselves?
30
Definitions Trade Barrier- Market: Domestic Good- Foreign Good- An obstacle, or something that makes trade difficult. (Place)Anywhere goods/services are bought/sold Something produced in your country Something produced in another country
31
(R20-C) Voluntary “Free” Trade Domestic Market (USA) Foreign Markets (Other Countries) Foreign Goods US Goods BENEFITS: US Producers can sell goods to more people around the world (bigger Marketplace = More $) More $ for US Producers means more jobs for US workers US Consumers have more products available to choose from US Consumers have more choices and possibly cheaper prices RISKS: “Market” wherever goods/services are sold or consumed
32
So, we can see why trade can be a good thing. So…. Why would a country purposefully hinder or slow/stop trade from happening?
33
(R20-C) Voluntary “Free” Trade Domestic Market (USA) Foreign Markets (Other Countries) Foreign Goods US Goods BENEFITS: US Producers can sell goods to more people around the world (bigger Marketplace = More $) More $ for US Producers means more jobs for US workers US Consumers have more products available to choose from US Consumers have more choices and possibly cheaper prices RISKS: Foreign Producers may have cheaper goods & could possibly run US Producers out of business If US Producers lose money or go out of business, that can mean less jobs for US workers “Market” wherever goods/services are sold or consumed
34
Today’s Standard(s) SS6E2 The student will give examples of how voluntary trade benefits buyers and sellers in Europe. b. Compare and contrast different types of trade barriers, such as tariffs, quotas, and embargos.

Intro to Our Essential Question…… How do trade barriers (tariffs, quotas, and embargos) hinder voluntary trade from occurring between countries?
44
Human-Made Trade Barriers Tariff – Tariff – a Tax on Imported Goods (makes them more expensive & makes it less likely consumers will buy) Quota- A Limit on the amount of goods that can be imported from another country. Embargo- Embargo- A total Ban on trade with a country – Usually motivated by politics to hurt another country economically.
45
Type of Trade Barrier DefinitionWhy would a country put this barrier in place? Tariff Quota Embargo A TAX on foreign goods imported into a country To INCREASE THE PRICE OF FOREIGN GOODS, which will make consumers more likely to buy domestic goods
46
Grade A Sprocket Sprocket Made in USA Made in China $100 $105 US Consume r If the products are of equal quality, the consumer will most likely choose the cheaper product US (Domestic)Consumer: Because he got what he wanted @ a cheaper Because he got what he wanted @ a cheaper price Chinese (Foreign) Producer: Because the consumer chose their product& they made $$$$$$$ US (Domestic) Producer: Because the consumer didn’t choose their product& they didn’t make any $$$$
47
Here’s how a tariff/tax/duty helps the home team (Domestic Producers) get a competitive advantage
48
Grade A Sprocket Sprocket Made in USA Made in China $ 100 + $10 tax= $110 $105 US Consume r If the products are of equal quality, the consumer will most likely choose the cheaper product US (Domestic)Consumer: Because he got what he wanted @ what he Thought was a cheaper price Chinese (Foreign) Producer: Because the consumer chose their product& they made $$$$$$$ US (Domestic) Producer: Because the consumer didn’t choose their product& they didn’t make any $$$$ Wait a minute!!!! …If trade was free, I would’ve paid $5 less!!

R20-C Trade Barriers (Tariff – Quota – Embargo) Domestic Market (USA) Foreign Markets (Other Countries) Foreign Goods US Goods BENEFITS: US Producers do not have to worry as much about competition with foreign producers US Producers can charge more for their goods & services US Producers may be less likely to fire people if they make more $ RISKS: Foreign countries may respond with trade restrictions against US Producers US Producers may lose the foreign markets & will have less consumers to sell to = Less $ US Consumers will have less choices & will most likely pay more than they would w/ Free Trade “Market” wherever goods/services are sold or consumed
