ES2550: Project
PROJECT DESCRIPTION—PART 2 (4.0 HOURS)

Project Introduction: Suppose that the U.S. currently buys and produces wingdings, a fictitious economic good. The U.S. faces the world price, and domestic suppliers sell as many wingdings as possible at the world price. Now, the government succumbs to lobbying by wingding producers and imposes a protective tariff on wingdings amounting to $2 per wingding.
