摘要:
This paper provides a systematic analysis of the effects of input tariffs and duty drawbacks on welfare. The paper arrives at two broad conclusions. First, tariffs on inputs unaccompanied by duty drawbacks on exports have an ambiguous effect on welfare. Second, increases in tariffs on inputs complemented by full duty drawbacks are welfare improving up to a point, provided goods exhibit substitutability in production as well as consumption. The latter conclusion is reinforced by the presence of a revenue constraint.
