How does imposing trade restrictions affect a country’s macro economic objectives?

     Nowadays all countries need to trade between themselves. Countries always lack of some type of good and the only way they can get them is by importing them from other countries which do produce the desired goods. However, countries many times import products they are able of producing and now, this isn´t a matter of need; it´s a matter of taste in order to give the consumers the possibility to choose.

     So, we have seen how having imports and exports are very benefitial for any country. However, countries many times apply barriers to imports coming into the country in order to protect national products. The most commo...
