Economists believe the most persuasive argument for protectionism is to protect infant industries. But the argument has a drawback. What is this drawback?


◦

Governments usually use tariffs, rather than quotas, to protect infant industries in order to collect tariff revenue. (Quotas do not result in government revenue).


◦

Governments always make the level of protection for infant industries too high.


◦

Protection lessens the need for firms to become productive enough to compete with foreign firms; this often results in infant industries never "growing up."


◦

Governments are usually too impatient and do not allow protection to remain in place long enough to allow industries to be competitive in international markets.
