| Tiivistelmä: | The optimal trade and tax policy combinations for a small country are examined. A model is presented in which the rest of the world follows a policy allowing tax credits for tax payments to foreign countries. For a capital-importing country, a tax on capital equal to the source country tax rate (to capture tax revenue) combined with a subsidy to encourage capital imports is the optimal policy. Results are also derived for cases in which only one of the instruments can be varied. For a capital-exporting country that cannot reduce its capital tax rate, a subsidy to the sector using exported capital is desirable. The results suggest a shift from the use of tax rates to trade tools or production subsidies. |
