A Factor Tariff, Domestic Supply, and Income

A factor tariff raises the cost of production and reduces output in a small open neoclassical economy. In the present model the tariff also raises the price of the import competing factor, increasing its quantity supplied. Factor substitution, factor shares, and the price elasticity of factor supply determine adjustments to a factor tariff. Under some conditions, the tariff raises income. The model relates to economic growth and macroeconomic theory with an imported factor of production.
