HI5016 Tri1 2017 - Research Report: Tariffs, Import Duties & Economies

This report examines the effects of tariffs and import duties on industries and economies, exploring the costs and benefits associated with these trade policies. Tariffs, defined as taxes or duties on exports and imports, are used to restrict trade by increasing the price of imported products. The report discusses different types of tariffs, such as determinate fees and ad-valorem tariffs, and their impact on domestic and foreign markets. It also addresses the economic effects of tariffs, including their influence on domestic industries, consumer surplus, and protection against foreign competition and dumping. The report references several studies to support its analysis of the complex relationship between tariffs, trade, and economic outcomes.
