| Sumario: | A normative analysis is presented to examine the way in which the inclusion of economic space affects export tax policy and to compare optimal export taxes under endogenous location with optimal export taxes under exogenous location, both in the short term and the long term. It is argued that because the output effect of export tax does not differ from exogenous-location models with constant returns to scale but does differ with nonconstant returns, the analysis deepens the understanding of the implications of new trade theory's departure from the constant returns assumption of traditional trade theory. The neglected role of transport expenses in plant location is also explored. |
