Countervailing Duties, Antidumping Tariffs, and the Byrd Amendment: A Welfare Analysis*
This paper determines the effect that offset payments under the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act (CDSOA also known as the Byrd Amendment) have on tariff levels that are lobbied for by U.S. producer groups. We derive the optimum antidumping tariff that would maximize the welfare of producers receiving CDSOA offset payments. We compare and contrast this newly derived optimal antidumpin...
متن کاملTax Britannica: Nineteenth Century Tariffs and British National Income∗
The literature on British economic history presumes that Britain was a free trader after the repeal of the Corn Laws and that her tariff levels were thus below those which were optimal for maximizing utility. Presumably, if the optimal British tariff had been positive and greater than the levels established by mid-century, a reduction to zero of all tariffs that remained would have lowered Brit...
متن کاملA Theory of Dynamic Tariff and Quota Retaliation
Abstract This paper establishes relationships between static Nash equilibria and dynamic Markov perfect equilibria of tariff and quota retaliation games. In supermodular games where tariffs are strategic complements, the steady state of every, symmetric Markov perfect equilibrium must have lower tariffs than in the static equilibrium. If tariffs are strategic substitutes, tariffs in the dynamic...
متن کاملIIIS Discussion Paper No . 302 / October 2009 Optimal Tariffs , Tariff Jumping , and Heterogeneous Firms ∗
The majority of research to date investigating strategic tariffs in the presence of multinationals finds a knife-edge result where, in equilibrium, all foreign firms are either multinationals or exporters. Utilizing a model of heterogeneous firms, we find equilibria in which both pure exporters and multinationals coexist. We utilize this model to study the case of endogenously chosen tariffs. A...
متن کاملThe Optimal Byrd Tariff in Vertical Markets
This paper develops the theory of the optimal tariff under the Byrd Amendment when producers are also processors. The optimal tariff in this case is equal to the optimal processor tariff (when the processor is not also a producer) and is smaller than the optimal producer tariff (when the producer is not also a processor). In a vertical market structure, the welfare of a producer/processor (P/P)...
