Quota
Quota a share in the production, marketing, export, or import of production established by monopolistic cartel agreements of participating enterprises, companies, or countries. The profit is distributed among the participants according to the size of their quotas. In international and national cartel agreements that limit the sale or the export of production and sometimes also the production itself in order to receive monopoly superprofits, a quota is established for each participant; in case he exceeds it, he has to pay a penalty. Import quotas (contingency imports) are widely used in foreign trade by capitalist countries as a tool of commercial policy. After World War II quotas became one of the most important tools of the aggressive protectionism that is an expression of the strengthening of state-monopolistic capitalism in foreign trade. Within the monopolistic associations an acute competitive struggle for obtaining quotas is under way, a struggle conditioned by the uneven growth of production capacities of the members and the shifting of the alignment of forces. The struggle often leads to the withdrawal of members from the associations and to the breakdown of the agreements. quota

Quota1. The amount a country contributes to finance the International Monetary Fund. The IMF determines quota based upon how much each country contributes to the global GDP. Each country's quota also influences its voting power in matters of IMF governance. Larger countries both contribute and vote more. The quota system has proven to be controversial, as it gives smaller and less prosperous countries a lesser voice.
2. The most barrels of oil an OPEC member state may produce per day. OPEC sets quotas in order to influence the price of oil. It raises quotas when it wishes to lower the price and lowers them when wishes to increase the price.

4. See Import quota.quota A maximum or minimum limit on quantity. Applied to imports, a quota designates the maximum quantity of a product that may be brought into a country during a specified period of time.

See also tariff, trigger price.quota an administrative limitation on the production of, or trade in, a particular product imposed by suppliers or by the government. - Producers' CARTELS typically place a limitation on the total output of a product so as deliberately to restrict its supply to a predetermined level and then use a quota system to allocate output between member firms;
- Trade quotas are imposed by governments as a means of restricting IMPORTS of a product to a specified level in order to protect domestic producers (see PROTECTIONISM) and assist the country's BALANCE OF PAYMENTS, or, alternatively, they can be used by exporting countries as a means of restricting exports. Unlike TARIFFS where suppliers may be prepared to absorb the duties imposed in order to maintain their sales, quotas reduce the volume of foreign sales in the home market and in some cases may completely deprive a firm of access to the market. For this reason MULTINATIONAL ENTERPRISES may set up a local manufacturing plant to replace exports to the market. See FOREIGN MARKET SERVICING STRATEGY, LOCAL CONTENT RULE.
quota an administrative device to limit - output or
- trade.
- Under a producer's CARTEL arrangement, each supplier is given a fixed output to produce. Quotas are used by the cartel to establish monopoly prices by ensuring that the total of the firms’ output quotas is restricted relative to market demand;
- Under a trade quota system, the government directly restricts the volume of permissible IMPORTS to a specified maximum level (the import quota) in order to protect domestic industries against foreign competition. As a protectionist device, a quota is much more effective than TARIFFS, especially when import demand is price-inelastic (when import demand is price-inelastic, increasing import price has little effect on the volume of imports). In these cases the only certain way of limiting imports is physical control. See also PROTECTIONISM.
