摘要:
This paper revisits the effects of tariffs and quotas in a competitive setting where three results are thought to hold These are that quotas are equivalent to specific tariffs, the form of tariffs specific or ad valorem does not matter, and that the way in which a quota is allocated has no real effects as it only affects the allocation of rents, not their size We show that all three of these results are false when entry/exit is endogenous Equivalence holds only if the initial level of entry is set at the long-run level under the quota.
