Embargoes mean that there would be no trade what so ever with the country in speaking (for example, The US has put an embargo on North Korea.)

Embargoes often root from political reasons rather than economic ones.

Tariffs and quotas root primarily from economic reasons and act as a "tax" to the imports i.e. the country still trades with each other.

What is nontarrif?

A form of restrictive trade where barriers to trade are set up and take a form other than a tariff. Nontariff barriers include quotas, levies, embargoes, sanctions and other restrictions, and are frequently used by large and developed economies.


Were the quotas reasonable or unreasonable?

Quotas are assigned for numerous things. It is very difficult without specifying what the quota is for to know whether it is reasonable, unreasonable, or open to serious controversy. However, more often than not, quotas that are reasonable are not discussed as they do not cause problems. Unreasonable quotas, therefore, are the ones most common noticed.

Does tariffs contribute to infant industry protection?

Infant industry protection can come in the form of Tariffs, Quotas, Non-Tariff-Barriers or any inhibition of free trade in order to protect a *particular* industry (rather than the whole economy) as that particular industry or firm achieves dynamic increasing returns (costs fall with cumulative production rather than with the current rate of production- in other words, costs fall as the firm gains experience). The argument of using tariffs to protect an infant industry are only valid when 1) the protection is for a firm or industry rather than the whole economy, 2) the industry is a potential source for comparative advantage and 3) the protection (usually a tariff) is temporary and ends when the firm becomes internationally competitive (this is especially difficult due to issues with political economy)


Why are tariffs and other trade barriers economically harmful when they save some jobs?
