Über dieses Buch

This book presents a comprehensive analysis of tax consequences in an oligopolistic market. It provides the reader with a systematic and precise way of understanding the research content of tax incidence. A major feature of the book is its analysis of tax incidence from both domestic and international oligopolies. Then, by examining various oligopoly models, it approaches the essence of domestic and multilateral tax issues. Starting with the general theory of commodity tax incidence in an oligopoly, the topics addressed in this book include tax reform, environmental regulation, and policy coordination in international oligopolies. In addition to the usual oligopoly model, managerial oligopoly, the public pricing problem for firms in an oligopoly, and mixed oligopoly are dealt with. By presenting individual issues and explaining the relevance of each topic, this book is highly recommended for readers interested in policymaking and the global market in relation to the interdisciplinary developments of public economics, regional economics, and international economics. This book is also valuable as an advanced textbook on applied economics.

Chapter 1. Commodity Tax Incidence in an Oligopolistic Market

Abstract

In this chapter, we examine the commodity tax incidence in an oligopolistic market. We particularly compare the specific tax and ad valorem tax and investigate the superiority of the ad valorem tax.

Chapter 2. Comparative Analysis of Specific and Ad Valorem Commodity Taxes: Welfare Analysis of Tax Rate Combination and Optimal Commodity Taxes

Abstract

In this chapter, we examine the impact of changes in the tax rate combination of specific and ad valorem commodity taxes on social welfare. As analyzed in the previous chapter, an ad valorem tax is superior to a specific tax for social welfare under an oligopolistic market. Therefore, changing from a specific tax to an ad valorem tax can improve social welfare.

Chapter 3. Commodity Tax Incidence in a Labor-Managed Firm Oligopoly

Abstract

In this chapter, we consider the welfare analysis of commodity taxes in labor-managed firms. We examine the effect of commodity taxes on firms with objective functions that differ from that of profit maximization. We suppose a firm in which labor has substantial management power and maximizes its reward rate, including wages.

Chapter 4. Managerial Incentives and Principal-Agent Type Oligopoly: Shifting of the Tax Burden

Abstract

In this chapter, we consider the shifting process of profit and commodity taxes in a principal-agent oligopolistic market.

Chapter 5. Public Pricing and Oligopolistic Market

Abstract

In this chapter, we analyze the characteristics of public pricing for firms in an oligopolistic market. We demonstrate that unlike the pricing for firms in a perfectly competitive market, public pricing for oligopolistic firms depends on the availability of government policy instruments.

Chapter 6. Comparative Analysis of Environmental Regulation and Environmental Tax

Abstract

In this chapter, we analyze the consequences of environmental policies in an oligopolistic market. In particular, we compare the pollutant emission tax and relative emission standard and clarify the welfare effects of the two policies.

Chapter 7. Commodity Tax in an International Oligopoly

Abstract

We examine commodity tax incidence in an international oligopoly setting in this chapter. For this purpose, we introduce two types of markets—segmented and integrated.

Chapter 8. Commodity Tax Harmonization and Global Tariff Reduction with Differentiated International Oligopoly

Abstract

In this chapter, we examine the welfare effects of unilateral domestic policy reform, global tariff reduction, and commodity tax harmonization under imperfect competition.

Minoru Kunizaki, Kazuyuki Nakamura, Naoki Kakita

Chapter 9. Partial Policy Coordination and Strategic Response in International Oligopoly

Abstract

In this chapter, we investigate the welfare effects of the partial coordination of tariffs, commodity taxes, and production subsidies with strategic responses in an international oligopoly.

Chapter 10. Privatization Neutrality Theorem in an International Mixed Oligopoly

Abstract

Commodity taxes and subsidies in an oligopolistic market are possible tools to remedy market inefficiencies when the government is not confronted with other constraints, such as revenue requirements. In other words, the government aims to improve the efficiency of resource allocation by offering fiscal incentives to firms. Alternatively, motivating a firm’s behavior different from profit maximization may also restore efficiency in the market. Typically, the government can improve social welfare by increasing firm ownership. In such a situation, by providing managerial incentives for operations, the government seeks to reduce the distortions arising from imperfect competition. However, all firms in an industry are unlikely to be state-owned, and thus, a mix of public and private firms is usually present in an industry. This situation is called a mixed oligopoly. State-owned firms operate in various industries in both developed and developing countries.
