In this survey of some central issues of tax and expenditure policy in an open economy, the authors consider the implications for policy of free--although not necessarily perfect--international mobility of commodities, capital, and labor. They examine the issues both from a positive and a normative point of view, trying to identify both the incidence and welfare effects of international mobility. One general conclusion is that tax distortions may increase in magnitude in comparison with a closed economy but they may also increase in kind, as when otherwise neutral taxes become distortionary because of factor mobility.
