(a) Home Market (b) Import Market Price Price Deadweight loss due to the tariffb+d S, S2 D2D Quantity Imports FIGURE 8-5 Effect of Tariff on Welfare The tariff increases the price from PW to pW+ t. As a result, consumer surplus falls by (a + b+ c+ ). Producer surplus rises by area a, and government revenue increases by the area c. Therefore, the net loss in welfare, the deadweight loss to Home, is (b + a), which is measured...
