What is a Tariff
Subject: Economics | Topics:


Tariffs are usually implemented when the world price of a good is lower than the domestic price of a good. A tariff thus is a form of protection from foreign competition that can produce that good at a cheaper price. The jobs of that industry are thus protected by the tariff, as opposed to the jobs being eliminated by foreign competition. This makes consumers outside the industry lose because they have to pay a higher price for that good.
