  1. Infant industry - Firms just starting up will face higher costs than established foreign competitors which have gained economies of scale. Tariffs should therefore be erected to protect the firm and then removed once it has grown.
  2. Job protection - Protectionism can create or preserve jobs which would otherwise be outsourced to other countries with a lower wage rate.
  3. Dumping - Dumping is the sale of goods in an other country below their cost of production. There are a number of reasons why they may do this:
  • They may have produced goods and have no demand.
  • They may have excess capacity in the short run.
  • They may wish to force out domestic suppliers so that they can enjoy supernormal profits.

Why did the northerners favor the protective tariffs of the 1820s while southerners detested them?

Northerners favored the protective tariffs of the 1820s because these tariffs benefited their emerging manufacturing industries by making imported goods more expensive, encouraging consumers to buy domestically produced items. In contrast, southerners detested these tariffs as they relied heavily on imported goods and were concerned that higher prices would hurt their economy. Additionally, they felt that the tariffs favored northern interests at the expense of southern agricultural economies, leading to tensions between the regions.
