of value. If the home country imposes a 20% tariff on shoes, but no tariff on leather, shoes would sell for $ 180 in the home country, and the value added for the domestic shoe maker would increase by $ 30, from $ 50 to $ 80. The domestic shoe maker is afforded a 60% effective rate of protection per dollar of value added.

The effective rate of protection is used to estimate the protection really afforded to domestic producers at each stage of production, i.e., how much extra they can charge and still be competitive with imported goods. If the total value of the tariffs on importable inputs exceeds that on the output,

Suppose that in the absence of any tariffs, shoes use $ 100 worth of leather to make, and shoes sell for $ 150 in the international markets. Shoemakers around the world add $ 50

The effective rate of protection reveals the extremely adverse effect of tariffs that escalate from low rates on raw materials to high rates on intermediate inputs and yet higher rates on the final product as, in fact, most countries' tariff schedules do. Less developed countries complain that such

In this context, it does not matter whether the final product or the inputs used to make it were actually imported or not. What is important is that they are importable. If so, the implied tariffs should be included in the above formulas because, even if the item was not actually imported, the
