Abstract

This chapter studies the long-run relationship between tariffs and economic growth in a two-country AK growth model. We find that a sufficiently high tariff can increase or decrease economic growth and depends on the levels of productivity coefficients in both countries. Moreover, the Ricardian theorem of comparative advantage is sustained in the long-run equilibrium and local indeterminacy emerges in the case of incomplete specialization under milder conditions compared with conventional literature.
