Critique of a Simplified Economic Model
An economic advisor to the government suggests using a simplified economic model to predict the effects of a new 25% tariff on all imported steel. This model only accounts for the interactions between domestic households, domestic firms, and the government. As a senior economist, critique the adequacy of this proposed model for this specific policy analysis. In your critique, identify at least two significant economic effects that this simplified model would likely fail to capture and explain why their omission could lead to a flawed policy recommendation.
