| Title: | Tariffication of Tariff Rate Quotas under oligopolistic competition: the case of the EU import regimes for bananas |
| Authors: | Scoppola, Margherita |

| Abstract: | The paper develops a two-stage capacity
constrained duopoly model, in which the mode of
competition is endogenous and the constraint is flexible,
to investigate the impact of Tariff Rate Quotas (TRQs)
and their liberalization. The model predicts that the
greater the gap between the price of the licences plus the
in-quota tariff and the out-of-quota tariff, the closer the
outcome of the game to the pure Cournot outcome. The
tariff equivalent changes according to the prevailing
mode of competition under the TRQ. The model is used
to address the issue of the tariffication of the non-ACP
TRQ for EU banana imports. The results suggest that
under the TRQ firms competed on quantity and that the
tariff equivalent is higher than the tariff introduced by
the EU in 2006. |
