摘要:The paper employs a model of dynamic price competition to study how
international commodity taxation affects the stability of collusive agreements
when producers in an international duopoly agree not to export into each
other’s home market. We consider both the choice of international tax prin-
ciple and the harmonization of tax rates and differentiate between a setting
where production costs differ between countries, and a setting where exoge-
nous tax rate differentials are the only asymmetry. The conclusions derived
from this model differ strongly from those obtained under the assumption of
competitive product markets.
