本题详细解析:
A Explanation: Statement I: Trading partners often retaliate with their own forms of trade protection and this may set off a trade war. Statement II: Tariffs and other forms of trade protection often lead to higher prices and create a welfare loss, thus resulting in an inefficient global allocation of resources. Statement III: Protecting domestic jobs is a commonly cited argument for trade protection, because competition against lower-priced imports can lead to job losses in domestic industries. Statement IV: If trading partners retaliate with their own trade protection measures then the country’s exports will be more expensive and less competitive, not more competitive.
