摘要：
This paper develops the theory of design and reform of protective tariffs in a revenue-constrained small open economy characterized by learning-by-doing. It shows that revenue-raising requires wedges between consumer prices and shadow prices while protection, when typically not achievable via subsidies directly targeted towards factor market distortions, requires wedges between producer prices and shadow prices. Illustrative calculations in a modestly disaggregated general equilibrium model of India support the view that uniformity in protective tariffs is likely to be a reasonably good policy in situations where the government intends no discrimination within the sectors already identified for special treatment.
