Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The imposition of the tariff would increase the domestic price of imported parkas, making them more expensive for Swedish consumers to purchase. This would lead to a decrease in demand for imported parkas and therefore a decrease in the quantity of imported parkas. As a result, producers of parkas in Sweden would benefit from increased sales, as domestic consumers would turn to them instead of importing. Therefore, Swedish consumers of parkas will lose, and producers will gain.
