      abstract = {The problem of choosing second-best trade policies is  modified by including sector-specific policies as well as  tariffs. We obtain conditions under which reduction of the  largest tariff is welfare improving. Formulae for the  optimal tariff and sector-specific subsidy are used to  study the design of optimal policy menus. The theory is  illustrated by an empirical general equilibrium model of  the U. S. economy which emphasizes agriculture. The model  suggests that reductions in agricultural protection in the  United States would be welfare improving.},
