Abstract

Cet article montre que le protectionnisme en Polynésie française provoque des pertes de bien-être importantes. Dans l’hypothèse d’élasticité unitaire de la demande d’importation, la perte nette due aux taxes à l’importation est de 47% de la valeur ajoutée de l’industrie (hors construction et énergie), soit 23333 euros par an et par employé de l’industrie. Nous mon-trons aussi que la substitution d’importation n’a pas eu d’effet positif significatif sur la croissance à long terme et pénalise la compétitivité et les exportations.
