Summary

• By liberalising its beef market Europe is moving away from protectionism, so imports from Brazil increase.

• This increases the total world import demand, so there is a new higher world equilibrium price and imports.

• If a country is large and tries to raise its domestic price then this will depress the world price.

• If a country tries to stabilise the domestic price then this will destabilise the world market price for everyone else if the country is large.
