Abstract

We shall concentrate in this chapter on tariffs, examining them in a general equilibrium framework. We shall not deal explicitly with the other trade policy instruments that we met in Chapter 10. There is however an important result — the Lerner Symmetry Theorem — which allows us to extend the results we shall obtain for tariffs to other price-based instruments. We shall discuss this theorem at the end of the chapter.
