This economy is “closed” to outsidetrade .

It is in a state of “Autarky”.

The Market for Good “X” is in equilibrium at P Domestic and Qe* Domestic at a Quantity of 100

Now assume it decides to become an “Open” Economy and trade with the rest of the world

It comes out of the state of Autarky.

The world price of Good X (“P World”) is lower than the Domestic Price.

At the lower world price, ceterus paribus, the Quantity Demanded is going to INCREASE to “Qd Domestic (150)” at Point “C”.

KEY POINT: We move ALONG our respective Demand and Supply Curves because of a CHANGE IN THE PRICE OF GOOD X.

Price Decreases, Quantity Demanded INCREASES (150) We move from Point “A” on the Demand Curve to Point “C”

KEY POINT: We move ALONG our respective Demand and Supply Curves because of a CHANGE IN THE PRICE OF GOOD X.

Price Decreases, Quantity Supplied DECREASES (50) We move from Point “A” on the Supply Curve to Point “B”

Now we have changed the dynamicsOf the Market Supply Curve for Good X.

Because the Domestic Quantity SuppliedHas decrease to “50” and the Domestic Quantity Demanded has increased to 150 AND we are open to trade that means the difference is made up with IMPORTS of “100” (150-50)

Domestic Producers are only going toSupply 50 units of Good X at the Pworld . (From 0 units to 50 units at Point “B”)

So that part of the Supply Curve will remain the same.

(Highlighted in YELLOW).

The Supply Curve now diverges from the original one.

At P world it becomes HORIZONTAL to reflect at that price the Quantity Demandedis 100 more than Domestic Producers are willingto supply of Good X (amount from Point “A” to Point “C”)

We can extend the new Supply Curve beyond Point “C” with the assumption that at a higher Price Domestic AND Foreign Producerswill be willing to Supply more of Good X.

So, with an Open economy we have a newMarket Supply Curve for Good X that iscomprised of Domestic AND ForeignQuantity Supplied for Good X that lies to The RIGHT of the original Market Supply Curve“S Domestic*)

We label the new Supply Curve

“S Domestic + Imports”

Domestic Producers of Good X are NOT going to like this turn of events as it affects their ability to Supply more of this good at a higher Price.

You know, like the good ol’ days at “P Domestic” and “Qe* Domestic(100”)

They are going to seek protection from this low priced foreign Good.

Assume they lobby Congress and the President and get a restriction on theamount of Good X that can be IMPORTED.

This is called a QUOTA.

Assume Producers are successful in getting an IMPORT QUOTA on Good X and the maximum amount that can be imported is 50 units of Good X.

This is represented by Points “D” and “E” and it represents a NEW section of a NEW Supply Curve for Good X that accounts for the Foreign Supply of Good X.

The NEW Domestic Market Price for Good Xwill be “P Quota”. The Price INCREASESbecause the Total Supply is LESS than it was before.

(You will see that in a moment when the Supply Curve shifts LEFT)

At the higher price the DOMESTIC Quantity SUPPLIED INCREASESfrom 50 to 75. We move ALONG the Market SUPPLY Curve from Points “B” to “D”.

This is the benefit of the Quota derived for Domestic producers of Good X.They get to Supply a larger quantity (75 instead of 50at a higher price BUT this is also the cost to consumers of Good X because they get to Consume LESS of this good (125 instead of 150) and at a HIGHER price

(P Quota instead of P World)

DWL to SOCIETY is equal to the BLUE TRIANGLE

Domestic resources that were NOT allocated to produce Good X before the Quota are now employed to produce the 25 additional units of Good X.

This represents the OPPORTUNITY COST to society for the implementation of the QUOTA.

Economists ask: “Could those freed up resources have been allocated to a more/higher productive use?
