Question 7.1 asks you to illustrate why an import ban might cause the equilibrium quantity of beef in the domestic market to rise. Depending on how the supply and demand curves shift, could the equilibrium quantity of beef in the domestic market have fallen instead? Would it ever be possible for the equilibrium price in the domestic market to rise?

Data From Question 7.1:-

Brazil is one of the world's largest exporters of beef and China is a major purchaser of that beef (an estimated 30\% of China's beef imports in 2016 came from Brazil). However, in March 2017, China, South Korea, the European Union, and Chile suspended imports of meat products from Brazil as a precautionary measure in response to allegations that meat inspectors and politicians had received bribes to overlook improper meat packing practices and allow sales of tainted food. How would the closing of export markets for a country's beef products together with a fall in domestic sales of beef products and an increase in the domestic equilibrium quantity be reflected in supply-and-demand diagrams of that country's foreign and domestic markets for beef in the short run?
