s: In this paper, our focus is to see the impact of imperfect international capital mobility on tariff adjustment process between two countries. Assuming complete specialization of each country, the results show that the existence of an imperfect international capital market may trigger a gradual tariff adjustment.

This paper investigates the effects of a tariff reduction on the grain self-sufficiency and the sustainability of domestic grain production. We develop a theoretical model in which trade, tariff, and supply-demand equations are explicitly included, with the classification of food importing and exporting countries. Estimation results based on panel data for 150 countries over 17 years show that ...

This study analyzes how tariff-specific preferences influence the responsiveness of consumers’ usage and tariff choice to changes ...
