🚢 Import Tariff Deadweight Loss Simulator
Interactive supply-and-demand model of an import tariff: watch the domestic price rise and see the consumer cost split into producer transfer, government revenue and pure deadweight loss, with a second chart showing deadweight loss accelerating with the tariff rate.
Interactive supply-and-demand model of an import tariff: raise the tariff-rate slider and watch the domestic price rise above the world price, splitting the extra consumer cost into three live-updating regions — a transfer to domestic producers, tariff revenue captured by government, and a pure deadweight loss that benefits nobody. A second chart plots total deadweight loss against the tariff rate across its full range, making the disproportionate, roughly quadratic acceleration of economic waste visible as the rate climbs.
