Effective Rate of Protection
Effective rate of protection is an analysis of the protection given to an industry, taking into account not only the direct effect of tariffs helping that industry, but also the indirect impact of the nation’s tariffs on inputs into that industry.
Effective rate of protection = (v’-v)/v [x100], where v is international value added, and v’ is the domestic value added.
Effective rate of protection, page 155
So ERP = (v’ – v)/v = (99 – 80)/80 = 23.8%
Example of ERP calculations
Consider the industry that produces computers. Suppose there is onepurchased input, called chips. Both computers and chips can be importedSuppose the world price of computers is $1,500/unit, and that of chipsis $600, leaving $900/unit as the domestic value added.If there is a 20% tariff on computers, and free trade in chips, then theprice of the computer will rise to $1,800, allowing value added to rise to$1,200. ERP = (1200-900)/900 = 33%.If there is no tariff on computers, but a 25% tariff on chips, then chips Will cost $750, while the price of the finished computer stays at $1500,Leading to a reduction in domestic value added to $750, and ERP=(750-900)/900 = - 16%.If there is a 10% tariff on computers, and 33% on chips, then ERP =-6%If there is 30% tariff on computers, and 30% on chips, then ERP = 30%.

(from Thompson: a different textbook. Not covered in Pugel)
Autarky: production and consumption at A.Free trade, production at P, consumption at T. Country exports S (services).With a tariff, production moves to P’ and consumption is at T’.Assuming world prices have not changed, T’ must correspond to a lower level of community indifference than T.
