The small open economy model of a competitive market suggests that the only source of deadweight loss from a tariff is from preventing mutually beneficial trades.
When due to tarrifs , price in competitive market rises which leads to increase in domestic production and decrease in domestic consumption when it compared to the situation of Benificial trades. As you know that excise tax results in loss in efficiency which is known as Deadweight loss . The reason is that tax prevents mutually beneficial trade from occuring.

Consider a small open economy. Suppose the market for corn in Banana Republic is competitive. The domestic market demand function for corn is Qd = 10 − 0.5P and the domestic market supply function is Qs = P − 2, both measured in billions of bushels per year. Also assume the import supply curve is infinitely elastic at a price of $4 per bushel. Suppose the government impose an import quota such that the domestic equilibrium price is P Q...

6. Welfare effects of a tariff in a small country Suppose Panama is open to free trade in the world market for maize. Because of Panama's small size, the demand for and supply of maize in Panama do not affect the world price. The following graph shows the domestic maize market in Panama. The world price of maize is Pw =$350 per ton. On the following graph, use the green triangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing consumer surplus (CS) when...

Because of Colombia's small size, the demand for and supply of soybeans in Colombia do not affect the world price. The following graph shows the domestic soybeans market in Colombia. The world price of soybeans is Pw =$400 per ton. On the following graph, use the green triangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing consumer's surplus...
Use the long run model for a small open economy to determine the expected effect on the equilibrium from a decrease in taxes (T). For each of the following variables, state whether it is expected to increase (+), decrease (–), remain unchanged (0), or whether the effect is indeterminate (?). Explain your answers. All variables are in real terms. (a) national savings (S) (b) net exports (NX ) (c) the real exchange rate (ε)
True or False, only answer part c is fine
3. (8 points) Consider a small open economy in the Specific-Factors model with 2 goods (C and F) and three factors (mobile labor, fixed capital in C, and fixed land in F). Except otherwise noted, assume that every factor has the same preferences for C and F. Under free trade, the economy exports F. (a) As the home country opens up from autarky to trade, the opportunity cost of F in...
