PubPol/Econ 541 Safeguards by Alan V. Deardorff University of Michigan 2018

2 Safeguards Safeguard protection is permitted by the WTO/GATT if an industry is Adversely affected, and The harm is caused by the imports (Countries are then permitted to use a non-discriminatory tariff or other non-discriminatory barrier for a limited time.)

3 Safeguards In each case below, I will show a shock that will cause both Output to fall, and Imports to rise Did imports “cause” output to fall? No. The shock did Yes. “But for” the increase in imports, output would not have fallen, or would have fallen by less A tariff is shown that keeps imports constant

4 Outline Small country, homogeneous product
World price drop Increase in domestic cost Small country, differentiated product, Fall in foreign cost Change in preferences

5 World price drop Shock: Drop in the world price Output falls
Imports rise P S P0 P1 M0 D M1 S1 S0 D0 D1 Q

6 World price drop, & tariff response
Shock: Drop in the world price Output falls Imports rise Tariff t = P0 – P1 Raises price back to P0 Restores S2=S0 M2=M0 P S P2, P0 t P1 M0 ,M2 D M1 S1 S0 D0 D1 “Injury due to imports”? Output would have stayed constant, “but for” the increase in imports. Q S2 D2

7 Outline Small country, homogeneous product
World price drop Increase in domestic cost Small country, differentiated product, Fall in foreign cost Change in preferences

8 Increase in domestic cost
Shock: Rise in domestic cost Output falls Imports rise P S0 P1= P0 M0 D M1 S1 S0 D0 Q

9 Increase in domestic cost
Shock: Rise in domestic cost Output falls Imports rise Tariff to restore M2=M0 Raises output part way back toward S0 Reduces demand while restoring M2=M0 P S0 P2 t P1= P0 M2=M0 M0 D M1 S1 S2 S0 D2 D0 “Injury due to imports”? Output would have fallen less, “but for” the increase in imports. Q
