An import tariff lowers
consumer surplus in the import market and raises it in the export
country market. An import tariff raises producer surplus in the
import market and lowers it in the export country market.National
welfare in the exporting country falls when an importing country
implements an import tariff.
Tariff effects on the importing country’s consumers. Consumers of the product in the importing country suffer a reduction in well-being as a result of the tariff. The increase in the domestic price of both imported goods and the domestic substitutes reduces the amount of consumer surplus in the market.
Tariff effects on the exporting country’s producers. Producers in the exporting country experience a decrease in well-being as a result of the tariff. The decrease in the price of their product in their own market decreases producer surplus in the industry. The price decline also induces a decrease in output, a decrease in employment, and a decrease in profit, payments, or both to fixed costs.
In case of perfectly elastic supply curve there will be no impact on price with change in demand
Hence in case of perfectly elastic export supply curve there will be no impact on price of increase or decrease in prices by importing country.
In case of perfectly inelastic export supply curve the demand of product will not affect the supply but it will affect the prices of product hence there will be impact on prices if the the demand of important country decreases or increases.
In the diagram A, even though the quantity increases from q to q1, but price remains same.
But ine diagram b the quantity remain same but price increases from p to p 1 due to increase in demand from d to d1
