In accordance with the optimum tariff theory, countries that function as large importers of goods can improve their trade terms by increasing their tariffs to force foreign suppliers to lower prices to them and also to other countries. This works best with products that have a very elastic demand. Given the foreign country’s offer curve, the optimum tariff, in terms of A-good is quantity (Sa) or in terms of B-good, quantity (Sd). This is the optimum tariff. Given the foreign country’s offer curve OF, there is no tariff the home country can impose that will yield a higher level of community welfare. Trade Instruments Optimal Tari in BOE. Optimal Tari s Under Perfect Competition for a Large Country. I With equations for demand and supply for Home and Foreign countries, we can calculate the optimal tari .

The optimal tariff theory argues that a country that is a large importer of a particular commodity can shift the economic burden of an import tariff from domestic consumers to foreign suppliers if the country has monopsony power in the market—the country is a primary buyer from many competing suppliers. In accordance with the optimum tariff theory, countries that function as large importers of goods can improve their trade terms by increasing their tariffs to force foreign suppliers to lower prices to them and also to other countries. This works best with products that have a very elastic demand. Given the foreign country’s offer curve, the optimum tariff, in terms of A-good is quantity (Sa) or in terms of B-good, quantity (Sd).
