    Notes: This paper presents a two-country intra-industry trade model with bilateral ad valorem tariffs and fixed export costs that are heterogeneous across firms. In this model not all firms will choose to export. We examine the effects of reciprocal changes in the tariff and the fixed export barrier on the number of firms, firm profits, tariff revenue and consumer welfare. We show that both types of trade barriers reduce (increase) the number of exporting (pure domestic) firms. However, the sum of available home and foreign varieties increases for small tariffs. Firm profits are falling in both tariff and fixed export cost barriers. Tariff revenue falls when fixed export costs increase whereas we have a Laffer curve effect for the tariff. Welfare falls when fixed export costs increase and increases for small tariffs and falls for large tariffs, i.e. there exists a welfare maximizing tariff.

    The fiscal constraint to restructuring firms in transition economies (2000)

    Notes: Abstract Restructuring transition enterprises has been slow. Many firms remain unprivatized and the new owners (of privatized firms) take inadequate measures. Various arguments often have been brought forth to explain this sluggish adjustment. This paper identifies a structural barrier at the governmental level: The government designs the privatization program which leads to restructuring. However, transition governments are in a fiscal squeeze because restructuring relocates costs from firms to the public budget. Nevertheless, the deficit should be kept within narrow limits. This problem is analyzed within a stylized dynamic model. This paper finds that the fiscal constraint can delay or halt privatization. Careful sequencing of policy and a low ratio of wage-to-profit taxes can remedy the problem.
