The Impact of Optimal Tariffs and Taxes on Agglomeration



Appendix

Optimal taxes and tariffs without coop., eq.(12):

To derive the optimal tax and tariff rates the corresponding partial deriva-
tives of the real income
Yr = (1 + Lw)T-1(1 TA)1-γPγ must be set to
zero:

dYR_ (1 1 ∙.    P ( dw ΓdT (1 γ)τl

dTA =     T 1,⅛- ⅛ τ-. JJ=0'  (m)

Substituting (12.3) and (12.2) in (12.1) and solving for the optimal agriclu-
tural tax
