Strategic Multilateral Exchange and Taxes

  • Chapter
Economics Essays

Abstract

This contribution investigates the effectiveness and welfare implications of fiscal policies in a context of multilateral trade, when traders behave strategically. The present approach deals simultaneously with two aspects of fiscal policies: collecting resources for redistributive purposes and correcting distortions related to imperfectly competitive behaviour.

The second author gratefully acknowledges a European Commission Trade and Mobility fellowship No ERBFMBICT971936.
