Answer to Question 1

Trade barriers include the use of embargoes, tariffs, quotas, and administrative barriers to limit the supply of foreign products in the domestic economy. Arguments for trade barriers include the infant industry, national security, employment, and cheap foreign labor arguments.

Trade barriers reduce the supply of foreign products, which increases their prices. This makes the domestically produced substitute more price-competitive, which increases the demand for the domestically produced product. As a result, the domestically produced product's price increases and its sales increase. Notice that the results of trade barriers are higher priced products (both foreign and domestically produced) consumers must pay.
