| Abstract: | The authors analyze a dynamic model of protection and environmental policy in a small trading developing country (DC). The DC government protects the import competing (and the polluting) sector of the economy with a tariff. The employment and output effects of three different pollution taxes are analyzed. These taxes incorporate different assumptions about the DC government's ability to commit to its announced policy. The authors describe the taxes, the authors study the dependence of these taxes on the tariff, and the authors show that in general an activist environmental policy is called for, irrespective of the length of time to which the government can commit to its announced policy. |
