摘要:
This paper investigates optimum North-South tariffs by taking into consideration the fact that tariffs serve mainly as trade policy in the North, but serve as revenue policy as well as trade policy in the South. A statically and endogenously determined conjectural variation is devised to approach the problem. We show that, among other things, there are many possibilities for the North optimally to choose the zero tariff other than only in the case where the elasticity of the South's supply of export is infinite.
