Revenue Neutral Trade Reform With Many Households, Quotas and Tariffs

Author

Listed:
  • Anderson, J-E

Abstract

Government budget balance forces the endogenous use of distortionary tax instruments when an exogenous reform is implemented. The aggregate efficiency of such reforms is based on comparisons of simple summary measures of the Marginal Cost of Funds of the various tariff or quota changes with the Marginal Cost of Funds of the alternative taxes, or of the Marginal Benefit of Government supplied goods.
