Answer to Question 1

The U.S. government uses a tariff rate quota to restrict the amount of sugar imported by the United States. This policy benefits domestic sugar producers by creating more need for domestic production and higher prices. Producers of sugar substitutes also benefit as manufacturers of sweetened products use sugar substitutes in place of sugar. Among those who are worse off as a result of the policy are domestic candy manufacturers and soft drink makers who have to pay higher prices for sugar.
