Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Increasing tariffs will make imports more expensive, thereby reducing the quantity demanded of foreign-made goods. This may lead to an increase in domestic production and sales by the protected industries, as consumers switch to domestically produced goods. However, this does not necessarily lead to an increase in total domestic and foreign sales of those products in the United States. In fact, it may result in a decline in total sales, as foreign producers are likely to retaliate with their own tariffs, reducing their exports to the United States. In the short run, the government tax revenues may increase due to the tariff revenues collected. However, in the long run, the negative impacts on the economy and consumers may outweigh any short-term benefits. Furthermore, consumers' real incomes may decrease due to higher prices for imported goods, which would reduce their purchasing power.
