1 TRADE CLASS M A R C H 1 8,

3 SOFTWOOD IN THREE MINUTES
4 TRADE THEORY (1) Absolute Advantage Canada can produce lumber more cheaply while the US can produce tomatoes more cheaply (costs are lower) Benefits from trade are obvious-each country will specialize Example of Absolute Advantage Commodities Unit Costs of Production in terms of labour Canada US Lumber 4 6 Tomatoes 8 3 So 4 units of labour needed to produce one unit of lumber in Canada
5 TRADE THEORY (2) Comparative Advantage Canada can produce both lumber and tomatoes more cheaply than the US But here trade will still be beneficial (Ricardo) Example of Comparative Advantage Commodities Unit Costs of Production in terms of labour Canada US Lumber 4 6 Tomatoes 8 10
6 BENEFITS OF SPECIALIZATION How Comparative Advantage Works Commodities Production (outputs) per 10 units of labour Canada US Lumber (railcars) Tomatoes (bushels) Ratio (opportunity cost) Inverse of previous slide; if 4 units of labour are needed to produce one unit of output, then on e unit of input yields 0.25 units of output (inverting the ratio) so multiplying by 10 yields 2.5 and so on for other values. This tells you how much lumber you have to give up to get one unit of tomatoes This tells you how many tomatoes you have to give up to get one unit of lumber So long as you can trade between 1.7 to 2.0 units of tomatoes for lumber trade will take place and benefit both countries
7 BENEFITS OF SPECIALIZATION How Comparative Advantage Works Commodities Production (outputs) per unit of labour Canada US Lumber (railcars) Tomatoes (bushels) Ratio (opportunity cost) No trade bushels and 2.5 railcars 1.7 bushels and 1 railcar Total Output 2.95 bushels and 3.5 railcars Specialization 5 railcars 3.4 bushels 3.4 bushels and 5 railcars
8 FREE TRADE IN PRACTICE Free trade is well understood to offer these benefits from trade There are also legitimate concerns that influence trade These include safety regulations Environmental regulations Controls over illegal activities
9 STRATEGIC TRADE But it also turns out that it can be in a country s interest to renegotiate the terms of trade By imposing tariffs it can improve its welfare There may also be other reasons for protectionism Protecting a domestic industry or developing an infant industry And there may also be non-economic motives National defense Foreign policy National pride
10 BILATERAL TRADE BETWEEN COUNTRIES P P in Canada Canada domestic lumber market D can S can Canadian exports ( derived excess demand and supply ) ES Price in US US domestic lumber market D US P* under Free Trade ED S US Q d-c Q s-c Q Q es Q s-us Q Can Q exports d-us Q U A Q d-c refers to Q demanded in Canada, s for supply, US for US. Q es equals exports. B A = B =C or excess supply in Canada is exported to meet US excess demand C S
11 P in Canada P* Free Trade P can with export tax Canada domestic D can THE EFFECT OF A TARIFF S can Canadian exports ES +tariff/tax ES Price in US P us with export tax US domestic S US D U S ES Q d-c Q d-c Q es-new Q d-c Q es Q s-us Q d-us Q d-c Note that under a tariff, there are different prices between the US and Canada; exports go down, and there are changes in production and consumption within each country
12 THE EXPORT MARKET Deadweight loss The export tax (or tariff, or duty) opens up a wedge between Canadian and US prices tax US prices are now higher than in Canada Exports fall A deadweight loss is created And someone collects a lot of tax revenue Q tax Q ft
13 THE US DOMESTIC MARKET The US domestic price goes up and US supply goes up US consumer surplus goes down But US producer surplus goes up
14 THE CANADIAN MARKET In Canada the domestic price drops Quantity supplied drops Canadian consumer surplus goes up And Canadian producer surplus drops
15 The Effect of a Quota Canada domestic Canadian exports US domestic ES with quota Price in US S US P in Canada D can S can P us with export tax P* Free Trade P can with quota ED D US Q d-c Q d-c Q es Q s-us Q d-us Quota amount
16 EFFECT OF A QUOTA In the export market quantities drop and a wedge is created between US and Canadian price A deadweight loss is created again In this case however it is payments that accrue to quota holders (this is now economic rent!)
17 DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE QUOTA AND TAX Besides who might appropriate tax revenues or quota rent A hard quota fixes how much can be exported so increases in US demand will not translate into increases in Canadian prices beyond a certain point But at low enough US demand, prices may equilibrate Under a tax however, wedge is maintained regardless of whether US demand is high or low
18 WHY? Political economy of th edispute: who wins? How concentrated are benefits and losses? One estimate (van Kooten 2002) pegs the gains from quota (relative to free trade)as follows: Canadian producers US producers Canadian consumers US consumers Deadweight loss + $190 million +$1.2 billion +$250 million - $1.8 billion - $160 million
19 THE SOFTWOOD LUMBER DISPUTE We can compete against any lumber industry in the world, but we can t compete against their government, too. Steve Swanson, President, Swanson Group, Inc. and Past Chairman of the Coalition for Fair Lumber Imports
20 IT IS AN OLD ONE. 19th Century : American tariff introduced of 20-30% Free trade briefly ( ; ) In 1866 Canada introduces export duty on sawlogs in response to US duties on lumber Century ends with US duty and Canadian restrictions on log exports 20th Century Duties remain in place In 1932 revenue tax imposed (triple existing tariffs) and Canadian exports drop to 1890 levels 1950 s tariffs and taxes approximately 1% In 1962 group of US lumber producers propose market sharing agreement with 10%tariff in both countries when imports exceed 10%
21 Lumber I ( ) Lumber II ( ) Lumber III ( ) SLA I ( ) Lumber IV ( ) SLA II (2006 to current) Recently extended to 2015 RECENT HISTORY
22 LUMBER I In 1982 complaint filed-stumpage conveys a subsidy In 1983 Determination-Department of Commerce investigates and finds it does not
23 LUMBER II Complaint: stumpage conveyed a subsidy Initial findings: subsidy of 15% against lumber exported from BC, AB, ON and PQ Resolved through MOU BC increases stumpage and no export tax PQ introduces phased increases in stumpage and corresponding phased decreases in tax AB & ON make no changes and pay tax In 1991 Canada withdraws from MOU Free Trade Agreement signed in 1986 and enters into force in 1989
24 LUMBER III Department of Commerce initiates complaint on October 31, 1991 (Canada had withdrawn as of September 3, 1991) DoC finds stumpage and log export control convey subsidies In July 1992 DoC imposes final countervailing duties of 6.51% on all provinces except Maritimes series of decisions in Canada s favour that end up in duties being refunded December 15, 1994
25 SOFTWOOD LUMBER AGREEMENT (SLA I) May 1996 to March 2001 Tariff Rate Quota system Can ship up to 14.3 billion board feet feet duty free; above that amount, incur costs of either $50; above 14.7 billion bf; $100/mbf (adjusted for inflation over period) Four provinces assigned quota Companies within provinces receive quota
26 LUMBER IV Canada can t agree on what is next and we are back in a world of litigation April 2, 2001 to September, 2006 Initial allegations allege subsidies of 39.9% and anti-dumping margins of 22.5% to 73.9% August 2001 DoC makes a determination of a 19.31% subsidy, retroactively payable back to May October 2001 DoC determines dumping margins for six companies, ranging from 5.9% to 19.2%, with average margins applied to all others of 12.6% Companies are Abitibi, Canfor, Slocan, Tembec, West Fraser, Weyerhaeuser
27 LUMBER IV (2) February 2002 Canada starts NAFTA challenges (WTO consultations initiated earlier) March 2002 CVD set at 19.34%; dumping reduced to 9.7% April 2002 CVD reduced to 18.8% and 8.4% June 2004 first administrative review: CVD now 9.2%; dumping 4% December 2005 second administrative review: CVD now 8.7%; antidumping 2.1% Cost US industry astronomical sums of cash- $hundreds of millions
