Foreign-Investment Tax and Tariff Policies in Developing Countries

Review of International Economics, 1997, vol. 5, issue 1, 47-62

Abstract: In this paper we examine the welfare effects of tax on foreign capital and tariff policies for a small open economy with sectoral unemployment. The individually and jointly optimal tax and tariff rates in the absence or presence of international tax credits are derived. A subsidy on foreign capital coupled with a tariff can be jointly optimal when tax credits are absent in the source country. However, the capital subsidy policy may fail to hold when the foreign country follows a tax credit system. Copyright 1997 by Blackwell Publishing Ltd.
