The Optimal Byrd Tariff in Vertical Markets

This paper develops the theory of the optimal tariff under the Byrd Amendment when producers are also processors. The optimal tariff in this case is equal to the optimal processor tariff (when the processor is not also a producer) and is smaller than the optimal producer tariff (when the producer is not also a processor). In a vertical market structure, the welfare of a producer/processor (P/P)...

Optimal Tariffs, Tariff Jumping, and Heterogeneous Firms∗

The majority of research to date investigating strategic tariffs in the presence of multinationals finds a knife-edge result where, in equilibrium, all foreign firms are either multinationals or exporters. Utilizing a model of heterogeneous firms, we find equilibria in which both pure exporters and multinationals coexist. We utilize this model to study the case of endogenously chosen tariffs. A...

Optimal Feed-in Tariff Schedules

We analyze the design of optimal feed-in tariff schedules under production-based learning. We examine least cost policies in a simple two-period model that focuses on bringing down the levelized cost of renewable technologies to a predefined target under two well-known dynamics: learning-by-doing (LBD) and economies of scale (EOS). We show that, when the levelized cost reduction target is strin...
