When vertically-related markets are characterized as a successive oligopoly, reducing tariffs by an equivalent amount on upstream and downstream imports will have a differential effect on market access and hence profits at each stage due to a combination of horizontal and vertical effects. As a consequence, in order to maintain parity between the upstream and downstream stages in terms of changes in domestic firms’ profits, tariffs on downstream imports should be reduced proportionately more than tariffs on upstream imports. This provides a rationale for tariff-reduction formulae aimed at reducing tariff escalation. 000201443 650__ $$aCrop Production/Industries 000201443 650__ $$aDemand and Price Analysis 000201443 700__ $$aMcCorriston, Steve 000201443 700__ $$aSheldon, Ian 000201443 8564_ $$93a72edf0-d901-41f2-8d67-cf678f449ecd$$s220928$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/201443/files/wp2009-01.pdf 000201443 887__ $$ahttp://purl.umn.edu/201443 000201443 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:201443$$pGLOBAL_SET 000201443 912__ $$nSubmitted by Abigail Porter (porte542@umn.edu) on 2015-04-10T21:44:34Z No. of bitstreams: 1 wp2009-01.pdf: 220928 bytes, checksum: 38af03e345f89d5f524fd6b8e62b4992 (MD5) 000201443 912__ $$nMade available in DSpace on 2015-04-10T21:44:34Z (GMT).
