papers and comments 1.1 POLITICAL ECONOMY OF TRADE POLICY 1.1.1 The political
economy of protection In the 1970s when
I began my research career, the literature described how protectionist
policies could enhance efficiency in a “distorted” second-best world. If
governments could only be viewed as benevolently pursuing efficiency
objectives or as maximizing “social welfare”, then indeed the second-best arguments
were required to explain – and to justify – protection. In the 1980s and on
into the 1990’s, the "new trade theory” and the theory of “strategic
trade policy” likewise used second-best circumstances of imperfectly
competitive markets to show how protectionist policies and other government
intervention could increase the welfare of a country’s residents. It did not
seem to me realistic to propose that policy decisions to depart from free
trade reflected socially benevolent efficiency-enhancing government
intentions. The lump-sum taxes and transfers assumed in the literature for
implementing redistribution did not exist or were not used. With lump-sum
taxes and transfers a fiction, surely the reason for protectionism was
political support associated with the income-redistribution effects of trade
policy. Paper [1] below
showed how motives of political support related to income redistribution explain protectionist policies. A protectionist policy
response to a fall in import prices occurs when
governments trade-off political support from import-competing industry
interests and voters at large (or consumers). When world import prices
decrease, the terms of trade improve and “countries” should be pleased.
Incomes (and also employment) however decline in import-competing industries.
I showed how the political policy response is a compromise between industry
interests and the public interest whereby protection increases but by less
than required to fully compensate an import-competing industry for the
decline in the world price. The import-competing industry is grateful for the
increased protection, while voters or consumers have also gained because
post-protection domestic prices have decreased, although not by the entire
fall in the world price. Technically, because gainers and losers from
protection evaluate policies with reference to the deviation from free trade
(in which government policy is inactive), the change in world prices also
changes the origin for the measurement of political support. Paper [2] showed
how political support influences choice between tariffs and quotas as means
of protection. Previous research had not asked why governments sometimes
chose tariffs and sometimes import quotas as the means of protection. Paper [3] begins
with the observation that output and employment in industries confronting
import competition often fall abruptly and the industry collapses rather than
declining along a continuous domestic supply function. The reason for the
collapse of declining industries was shown to be related to political-support
objectives of policy makers. Paper [4]
described the determination of trade policy in the context of political
competition. Tariffs and voluntary export restraints (VERs) were compared as means
of protection. The political advantage of VERs is that tariff revenue is
converted to private profits, which in turn can be used to finance campaign
contributions. Paper [5] is
related to [4] and describes how international trade policy can be used to
regulate industries located in different national jurisdictions. Paper [6]
compares the different views of trade policy as decided by benevolent
efficiency-seeking governments and politically optimizing politicians. Prior to the
mid-1990s, the political-economy view of the determination of international
trade policy was not popular among academic economists. I and my coauthors
James Cassing and Heinrich Ursprung encountered
resistance to the idea that political decision makers might choose policies
for political advantage rather than to maximize social welfare (although
describing policies as determined by majority voting seemed acceptable).
After the mid-1990s the political-economy approach to explaining trade policy
that we had advocated became the standard view, thanks in great part to
acceptance of the idea by Gene Grossman and Elhanan Helpman, who described
“protection for sale” with politicians auctioning policies. Grossman and
Helpman described a policy maker who maximizes political support by trading
off industry and political benefits against voters’ interests; their
description of politicians as “selling” protection differs (although perhaps
in a subtle way) from the view in papers [1] – [5] that politicians choose
policies subject to the necessity of obtaining sufficient political support
to win elections. The
political-economy influences on international trade policy were summarized in
my 1989 book (reprinted 2001) The Political Economy of Protection. A

interests affect politically determined trade policy? Papers [12] and [12a]
distinguish environmental interest groups concerned exclusively with the
environment at home (environmentalists as NIMBY’s) and groups concerned with
the global environment. In different circumstances, environmental interests
can find it in their interest to form political coalitions with domestic
producer or consumer interests and to support protectionist or liberal trade
policies. [12] was prepared for a conference

for firms in a protected industry and how the number of firms and market or

embargoes affects international trade policy. [19] investigated
public-policy responses to embargo threat under conditions of
learning-by-doing as exist for many goods required for national defense. Paper [20] considered
an exhaustible resource such as oil subject to an embargo threat but also
domestically available. Domestic supplies that are used are not be available for use if the embargo eventuates. In [21] foreign
monopoly suppliers of oil also have monopoly power in the international
capital market: the joint foreign monopoly power affects the rate of interest,
which affects intertemporal profit-maximizing production. [19] Embargo

The political economy of migration policy Neo-classical models base predictions of
incentives for migration on differences in factor returns and treat movement
of capital and of people symmetrically. However, migration of people
introduces complex social and economic considerations that are absent from
the “international labor movements” in a neo-classical model. [41] introduced political-economy considerations into the
explanation for the determination of countries’ migration policies. The political-economy themes associated with
migration are repeated and expanded in paper [42]. Paper [43] considers
whether migration can be a solution to demographic problems affecting
sustainability of intergenerational transfers; the different policy
preferences of young and old in a host population are noted. Paper [44]
investigates policy preferences of a host-country population when immigrants
are disproportionately unemployed and receive tax-financed welfare payments –
and unemployment is dues to efficiency wages. [41]
