Failure of Ad Valorem and Specific Tax Equivalence under Uncertainty
Applying a framework of perfect competition under uncertainty, we contribute to the discussion of whether or not ad valorem taxes and specific taxes are equivalent. While this equivalence holds without price uncertainty, we show that ad valorem taxes and specific taxes are “almost never” equivalent in the presence of uncertainty if we demand equivalence to hold pathwise. Since we obtain this re...
متن کاملThe Comparison Between Ad Valorem and Unit Taxes under Monopolistic Competition
This paper shows that the welfare dominance of ad valorem over unit taxes under imperfect competition, extends to the Dixit-Stiglitz framework with differentiated products, entry and love of variety. This contrasts against findings by Anderson et al. (J Public Econ, 2001) made in a similar framework, but under Bertrand competition.
متن کاملpositive agricultural and food trade model with ad valorem tariffs
interest rate ad valorem tariffs are considered as the most prominent trade tools extensively used in the framework of spatial equilibrium models (sems) to analyze agricultural and food trade policies around the world. however the results obtained from such models have been criticized because of their inadequacy in producing any observed data within the base period. hence a positive spatial and...
متن کاملThe comparative efficiency of ad valorem and specific taxes under monopoly and monopsony
It is well known that ad valorem taxes welfare-dominate specific taxes under monopoly. This paper demonstrates that the comparative welfare ranking of the two instruments reverses under monopsony. The relative performance of alternative tax forms is thus highly sensitive to whether the buyer or seller has market power.
متن کاملA Hedonic Approach to Measuring Product Quality Effects of Ad-Valorem Tariffs: the Specialty Cheese Case†
This paper studies the effects of ad-valorem tariffs on imported cheese quality. Our starting point is a Gorman-Lancaster-style hedonic model of demand for differentiated products. We build on recent identification results for this type of models to nonparametrically estimate product quality using a panel of cheese imports. We use the quality estimates both to recover the equilibrium price func...
