Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Governments often employ measures such as import duties to influence domestic economic outcomes, so the reasoning here centers on protection of local industries.
Option 1: 'Making imported goods less expensive and thus more competitive on the local market.' This would undermine domestic producers rather than shield them, so it does not describe the typical protective motive.
Option 2: 'Making imported goods more expensive and thus less competitive compared to locally manufactured products.' This aligns with the classic protectionist rationale: by raising the price of imports, domestic firms face less competition, encouraging local production and safeguarding jobs and industries.
Option 3: 'Making the local market competition structure more complex to facilitate local manufacturers efficiency increase.' Increasing bureaucratic complexity is not a standard or primary motive of import protection policies; it would generally hinder, not help, efficient competition.
Option 4: 'Collecting more taxes at the expense of import duties imposed.' While tariffs do generate revenue, the main driver historically is protection of home industries and workers rather than revenue maximization, making this an incomplete description of the motivation.
