Abstract

This paper proves that Krueger’s trade model is not trustworthy and her measure of rent is both uncertain and negligible. An alternative model inspired by Pigou works out the definite rent, but this paper concludes that such rent does not dissipate so easily.

Keywords: Tariff, Quota, Rent-Seeking
