Assumethatthere is a positive externality for Turkey in increasing its “combatdrone” production from 50 to 80 units. For this reasonTurkey imposes a tariff on US combatdrone exports. Explain the situation graphically:
Show the producer and consumer surplus before tariff in Turkey.
Show on a separate graph the effect of externality with tariff. What happened? Explain.
What is the net welfareeffect of thispolicy on Turkey?
Instead of a tariffimaginethatTurkeysupportsdomesticcombatdroneproducerswith a productionsubsidy. Whatwouldhappen?
Producer surplus before tariff in Turkey = J
Producer surplus after tariff in Turkey = E+J
Government surplus after tariff in Turkey = G+H
Deadweight loss after tariff in Turkey = F+I
Overall this would reduce the overall surplus of the market.
