International Trade and Finance
Trade Policies
As we have learned, foreign trade policy can have a significant impact on domestic firms. Consider the firm you have chosen and address the questions below in a 2- to 3-page paper:
1. Suppose the U.S. government removed tariffs in your industry. What impact would that have on your firm?
2. What are some obstacles your firm might face with production in another country?
3. Using at least TWO resources that you find on your own, make an argument FOR or AGAINST free trade. Be sure to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of which policy you support. (Wikipedia is not an acceptable academic resource for this course).
