[quote user="DwightBranch"]Tariffs have a much more nuanced effect on an economy than you would make them out to be. In the case of agriculture it will actually help the Europeans because they will be able to cut their price supports while maintaining a price at which French, German etc. farmers can compete. Anyone who thinks that tariffs are always a loss for an economy had better not look very closely at Taiwan or South Korea.[/quote] Say an eco tariff prices their imports from us out of their market.  So they substitute to another source of imports, but at a higher price than what we had been charging them before the eco tariff.   <o:p></o:p> If that higher priced import is an economic advantage to them, as you suggest in your nuanced explanation, then why would they have not just gone ahead and raised their import cost already by adding their own tarriff in order to reap that economic benefit that you cite in your nuanced explanation?
