| Abstract: | The authors examine the role of rules of origin as a commercial policy instrument that targets the input composition of imports. Using a three-country, partial equilibrium structure, they demonstrate conditions under which the omposition of a binding rule will be welfare improving for an importer facing competitive export supplier. They further show that employing rules of origin in this way would be complementary to, rather than a substitute for, conventional optimal tariffs. |
