Taxes, Relative Prices and Trade

James Melvin

Chapter 7 in The Economics of Relative Prices, 1984, pp 183-204 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In this paper, I consider some of the relationships between domestic taxes, relative commodity prices and international trade. The order in which I have listed these three factors is significant, for the basic premise will be that domestic taxes influence the relative prices of domestic commodities, and that this in turn may have a substantial effect on international trade. Indeed, it will be argued that in some circumstances taxes may be one of the most significant determinants of trade patterns.
