9 Reading Quiz (3) Which of the following were part of Trade Adjustment Assistance provided under the George W. Bush administration? A. Wage insurance B. Health insurance C. Job training D. A&B E. B&C F. All of the Above
10 Who benefits from tariffs? In the country that implements the tariffs, who benefits from tariffs on agricultural goods and textiles? A. Unskilled workers and people who own farmland B. Skilled workers and people who own farmland C. People without farmland land and skilled workers D. People who eat food and people who buy clothes Lecture 6: Barriers to Trade
11 Tariffs are also an easy tax handle Tariffs as a share of government revenues Lecture 6: Barriers to Trade
12 Trade and income distribution Free trade makes a country richer in total But it hurts some people and helps others Government redistribution can help even this out and get everyone to support free trade Tax beneficiaries of free trade, give it to those who lose out Unemployment benefits, job training, etc. Lecture 6: Barriers to Trade
13 Source: Rodrik 1998 Why Do More Open Economies Have Bigger Governments?
14 Trade and income distribution What is the effect of trade on inequality? Depends on who owns the scarce factors Should (generally) reduce inequality in poor countries and increase inequality in rich countries This is empirically muddy Lecture 6: Barriers to Trade
15 The effect of tariffs on consumers What do tariffs on textiles and agriculture do to prices in the US? Whom does that hurt? What do tariffs on textiles and agriculture do to prices in developing countries? Whom does that hurt? Lecture 6: Barriers to Trade
16 Tariffs vs. subsidies Tariffs and subsidies are different in which of the following ways: A. Tariffs are a much more effective way to protect domestic importers. B. Tariffs increase government revenue while subsidies cost the government money C. Tariffs raise the prices paid by domestic consumers, subsidies do not D. Tariffs hurt domestic consumers, subsidies hurt domestic taxpayers E. B, C, and D are all correct Lecture 6: Barriers to Trade
17 The Producer Viewpoint How does the sugar industry justify US sugar policy? Doesn t cost taxpayers anything (tariffs & Quotas instead of subsidies) Provides stable prices (no shortages) Creates jobs Unfair competition (subsidies) in Mexico & China Lower prices wouldn t reach consumers anyway
18 Concentrated vs. Diffuse Interests Concentrated Interest: A small group of people, each of whom care a lot Diffuse Interest: A large group of people, each of whom care a little In a democracy, concentrated interests often prevail over diffuse interests.
19 Ricardo-Viner vs Stolper-Samuelson Stolper-Samuelson locally scarce vs. locally abundant factors Ricardo-Viner Exporting industries vs. import-competing industries These overlap some, but... In developing countries, exporting industries are often those that employ high-skilled workers (i.e. owners of human capital) Sometimes owners of human capital and physical capital (in the right industries) benefit more than unskilled workers (in the wrong industries)
20 Rogowski (1987) Predicting political cleavages regarding trade Owners of locally scarce factors vs. owners of locally abundant factors Example: Marriage of Iron and Rye Germany in late 1800s Capital scarce, land scarce, labor abundant So industrialists & landed gentry imposed tariffs and repressed labor Example: Britain in the late 1800s Capital and labor abundant, land scarce Industrialists and labor unite Push free trade, expand suffrage, reduce power of landed gentry
21 Interest Groups: Factors of Production vs. Industries Labor unions represent owners of labor, i.e. workers Chambers of Commerce represents owners of capital Various agricultural lobby groups represent owners of land We also see lobbying at the industry-level For example, when the auto industry lobbies for protection, it is often both unions and company owners doing the lobbying (i.e. both labor and capital. Same with the coal industry -- both miners and mine-owners Either way, trade protection happens at the product level
22 Factors of Production and Interest Groups Owners of locally-scarce factors of production often seek protection for products that use that factor intensely Import-competing industries also seek protection as industry groups Anti-trade interests seek subsidies for domestic production, tariffs on foreign imports, or quotas on foreign imports These policies benefit owners of the locally scarce factor of production and import-competing industries The policies harm consumers and/or taxpayers across the country Bonus points if beneficiaries are concentrated in a swing state Michigan and Ohio (cars) Pennsylvania (Steel) Florida (Sugar)
23 Who benefits from tariffs on the import of foreign t- shirts into the US? A. Unskilled U.S. workers generally B. Owners of U.S.-based T-shirt manufacturing facillities C. U.S. Consumers who buy t-shirts D. Hipster entrepreneurs who buy bulk t-shirts, print snarky things on them, and resell them E. A&B F. A, B, & D G. All of the Above
24 But people aren t pocketbook voters People generally vote based on their perception of the public good. How is trade affecting their zip code? How do voters feel about foreigners in general? About global integration?
25 Logic of Trade Protection Jobs will be protected In the protected industry, and in its suppliers and ancillary industries Example: Auto parts producers would go under if GM goes under Foreign competition is in some way unfair, Foreign subsidies, or lax labor and environmental laws Trade displacement has cultural costs as well economic ones Protecting traditional industries
26 Industrial Policy Industries are hard to start May only become globally competitive later Government s pick an industry, subsidize it, and protect it Subsidies and protection are supposed to be temporary infant industries The goal: create a globally competitive industry that no longer needs subsidies The risks: Governments are bad at picking winners Temporary protections become permanent What incentive do firms have to wean themselves from government help?
27 Japan did it pretty well 1950s, Japan exported textiles, low-tech products; by 1970s and 1980s, Japan was exporting cars, ships, etc Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI): Selects industries to receive trade protection, R&D subsidies, low interest loans, tax breaks, etc. Debates remain, but generally viewed as quite successful Many other countries have been much less successful Lots of corruption
28 The Story of Airbus In the early 1970s Germany, France, Britain, and Spain all chipped in to create a (heavily subsidized) European airplane manufacturing industry $13.5 billion of direct subsidies in first 20 years By the early 1990s, airbus had an operating profit and was starting to pay back government loans Worth it? Probably. Huge WTO dispute between Airbus and Boeing But that s for a later class
29 The Making of the US Farm Bill Subsidies across a variety of crops Also includes foodstamps, school lunch subsidies, etc. The Coalition: Rural states (crop subsidies) Urban states (food stamps, school lunch subsidies) Domestically, who bears the costs of these subsidies?
30 Free Trade Agreements: One Way Trade Policy Liberalizes Concentrated interests oppose opening US markets to imports defeat the diffuse interests who would benefit i.e. producers in import-competing industries defeat consumers There are also concentrated interests that want access to foreign markets. Producers in xporting industries Free trade agreements harness these concentrated interests in favor of reciprocal free trade agreements I ll let your goods in if you let mine in.
31 The Union Argument Against FTAs
32 But... this is how they might come around
33 Free Trade Agreements: Korea The Korean FTA was signed in 2007, but was not ratified by the Democrat-controlled Senate Main opposition: Labor Unions Obama administration renegotiated the deal, got a better deal regarding the Auto industry Got the United Auto Workers on board Ratified easily in 2011
34 Free Trade Agreements: Colombia Signed in 2006, but not ratified until 2011 Again, major opposition was US labor unions Negotiations focused on improving labor rights in Colombia
35 Free Trade Agreements: Terms of Trade? In both the Colombia and South Korea cases, the smaller country wanted it more. The U.S. is Colombia s largest trading parter, but Colombia accounts for less than 1% of US trade The party that wants a deal more ends up giving up more For example, South Korea had to let US autos into South Korea 5 years before tariffs will be lifted on Korean autos into the US
