Pareto-improving tariff-tax reforms under imperfect competition
Article history: Received 29 June 2013 Received in revised form 18 November 2013 Accepted 19 November 2013 Available online 12 December 2013 Constructing a duopoly model with non-constant marginal costs and a strict Pareto criterion, this paper examines welfare effects of world-price-fixing tariff reductions accompanied by adjustments of a domestic tax. If a destination-based consumption tax is...
متن کاملSteepest Ascent Tariff Reforms
This paper introduces the concept of a steepest ascent tariff reform for a small open economy. By construction, it is locally optimal in that it yields the highest gain in utility of any feasible tariff reform vector of the same length. Accordingly, it provides a convenient benchmark for the evaluation of the welfare effectiveness of other tariff reform proposals. We develop the properties of t...
متن کاملTechnical Appendix for Measuring the Burden of the Corporate Income Tax under Imperfect Competition
TECHNICAL APPENDIX FOR MEASURING THE BURDEN OF THE CORPORATE INCOME TAX UNDER IMPERFECT COMPETITION APPENDIX A: THEORY In this section we first summarize the Davidson and Martin (1985) (DM) model of the incidence of the corporate income tax under imperfect competition and then derive a comparative static result that describes how the degree of imperfect competition affects the incidence of the ...
متن کاملTax Policy Under Keeping Up with the Joneses and Imperfect Competition∗
This paper examines the optimal (first-best) fiscal policy in a stochastic, infinite-horizon representative agent model that exhibits a “keeping up with the Joneses” utility function and imperfectly competitive product markets. We find that the optimal labor tax is a constant, whose sign is determined by the relative strength of consumption externality and monopoly power. Moreover, the optimal ...
متن کاملTax Advantages and Imperfect Competition in Auctions for Municipal Bonds∗
We show that the effect of tax advantages of municipal bonds on the market microstructure of municipal bond auctions is a crucial determinant of state and local governments’ borrowing costs. Reduced-form estimates show that increasing the tax advantage by 3-pp. lowers mean borrowing costs by 9-10%, consistent with a greater-than-unity passthrough elasticity. Non-parametric evidence shows that s...
