| Tiivistelmä: | This paper examines the interaction btw. commodity taxes (hereafter as: c-tax/es) and parallel imports (here as: prl-imps.) in a 2-country model with imperfect competition. While governments determine non-cooperatively (as: non-coop.) their c-tax/es rate, the volume of prl-imps. is determined endogenously by the retailing sector. Compared is the positive and normative implications of having c-taxes based on destination/origin principle. It is shown that, with the volume of prl-imps. increasing, non-coop. origin taxes (as: o-taxes) converge, while destination taxes (as: d-taxes) diverge. Furthermore, o-taxes are more similar and lead to higher aggregate welfare levels than d-taxes. |
