100 YEARS OF TARIFF PROTECTION IN AUSTRALIA

Peter Lloyd

Australian Economic History Review, 2008, vol. 48, issue 2, 99-145

Abstract: This paper presents time series of tariff rates in Australia from the time of Federation. As a preliminary to the construction of economy‐wide series, it constructs series for three broadly representative goods throughout the 100 years: passenger motor vehicles, blankets, and beer. It then constructs two economy‐wide series, one for all imports and another for dutiable imports only. It discusses the main events relating to turning points in the series and concludes with some applications.
