Evaluate the validity of the argument that a new industry (infant industry)in a nation needs protection from foreign competition if it is to establish itself.

On May 02, 2024


The infant-industry argument is based on the idea that new industries need time to become mature and sufficiently strong and large to compete with more mature industries from other nations. These new industries may need temporary protection to gain productive efficiency and become low-cost producers of a product. There are some logical problems with this argument. For instance, it is difficult to determine which industries are capable of achieving economic maturity and therefore deserve protection. Also, protective tariffs may persist even after industrial maturity has been realized. Most economists believe that if infant industries are to be subsidized, there are better means than tariffs for doing so.
