I'm quite sure the provided definition of a tariff is accurate. Given that, who are these economists and what are the reasons they give for supporting this belief that the exporters (other countries) pay the tariff?
- groundzeros2015 9mo agoIs your position that nobody educated in economics would ever support a tariff? edit: in the context of giving good economic advice.
- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 9mo agoMy position is that nobody educated in economics would believe that a tariff is something exporters from other countries pay the government of the importer's country.
