Answer to Question 1

Empirical studies of labor supply behavior in the United States suggest that for most of the work force, the elasticity of labor supply is close to zero. Therefore, most of the payroll tax in the United States is probably borne by workers.

Answer to Question 2

A country can use tariffs, import quotas, other import barriers such as health, safety, and regulation barriers, and voluntary export restraints to restrict international trade. Export subsidies given by a nation decrease other countries' exports and thereby restrict their international trade.
