Issues on Trade Intervention
• Should a national government intervene to protect the country’s domestic firms by taxing foreign goods entering the domestic market or constructing other barriers against imports?
• Should a national government directly help the country’s domestic firms increase their foreign sales through export subsidies, government-to-government negotiations, and guaranteed loan programs?

Strategic Trade Theory
Strategic trade theory suggests that a national government can make its country better off if it adopts trade
policies that improve the competitiveness of its domestic firms
in such oligopolistic industries.

When industrial policy is pursued, the national government identifies
key domestic industries critical to the country’s future economic growth
and then formulates programs that promote their competitiveness.
