| Smiley225 | government charges for import licenses could make A an option. |
| hocj | not really as govt would still make $$ under tariffs, not importers. |
| mikus | can someone explain how importers make money when quota is imposed on a product they are importing? firstly, the product now may be more expensive as exporting counterpart may raise the prices to cover the loss on volume; secondly, imposing quota reduces imports, which leads to increased domestic production; domestically produced products are typically more expensive so I just do not see how importer can make money with quotas. |
I was very pleased with your notes and question bank. I especially like the mock exams because it helped to pull everything together.
