| | Tax, tariff and trade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The tax, tariff and trade laws of a political region, state or trade bloc determine which forms of consumption and production tend to be encouraged or discouraged. | | | Critics of these movements and defenders of free trade and global investment liberalization respond that the older ideas of independent trade policy, investment policy and industrial policy assumed that a higher degree of control by governments over business was possible. | | | Trade, especially investment, policy to encourage or discourage location of particular types of activity in the jurisdiction, especially leading to export opportunities. |

| | Tariff - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Adherents of supply-side economics sometimes refer to domestic taxes, such as income taxes, as being a tariff affecting inter-household trade. | | | They sought minimal levels of a "tariff for revenue only" that would pay the cost of government but not show favoritism to one section or economic sector at the expense of another. | | | They can also backfire if countries whose trade is disadvantaged by the tariff impose tariffs of their own, resulting in a trade war and disadvantaging both sides. |

| | Fiscal restructuring in the context of trade reform |
| | Trade tariff reform in India resulted in an uncompensated drop in the ratio of tax to GDP of two pecentage points between 1991 and 2001-02. | | | But this will reduce relative tax collections at the national (central government) level in favour of the subnational (state) level, and there may be political resistance to such restructuring at either the state or national levels. | | | Fiscal restructuring in the context of trade reform |

| | Race to the bottom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Moral purchasing can influence decisions at the level of individual buyers, or it can involve forbidding or applying heavy tax, tariff and trade sanctions to nations that permit the export of offensive goods, re-directing revenues raised from such tax or tariff to combating abuses. | | | Races to the bottom between sovereign states can also undermine democratic accountability, since the elected governments are no longer economically capable of passing legislation which enforces environmental or labour protections that are more stringent than those current in neighbouring countries. | | | Given the liberalization of capital flows under free trade agreements of the 1990s, the necessary condition of capital immobility no longer holds. |

| | Green politics focuses on actually eliminating the subsidies by seeking change to agricultural policy and industrial policy, as well as tax, tariff and trade rules that favor imports from jurisdictions that offer such subsidies. | | | Green economics often focuses on the impact of eliminating such subsidies, and implementing what is sometimes called full cost accounting although the notion of a "cost" is so political as to render this phrase almost meaningless. |

| | Restricted Trade? Barriers to Trade in Mosquito Nets and Insecticides in sub-Saharan Africa |
| | The primary objective of the study was to assess the validity of the assumption that taxes and tariffs applied to mosquito nets and mosquito netting in SSA countries are so high as to be prohibitive and that removal of these barriers should result, therefore, in greater availability of cheaper mosquito nets and netting. | | | The study advocates a better understanding of the tariff nomenclature and a clarification of the tariff classification of nets, netting and ITNs in individual SSA countries in order to more clearly assess their impact on trade flows, and if necessary, for helping to identify the most feasible options for tariff and tax removal negotiations. | | | Available data confirmed that cumulative tariffs and taxes on mosquito nets and netting were above 20% in 24 of the 28 countries surveyed. |

| | INVESTMENT POLICY FACTS AND INFORMATION |
| | As globalization integrates the economies of neighboring and of trading states, they are typically forced to trade off such rules as part of a common tax,_tariff_and_trade regime, e.g. | | | Investment policy in many nations is tied to immigration policy, either due to a desire to prevent human_capital_flight by forcing investors to keep local assets in local investments, or by a desire to attract immigrants by offering passports in a safe_haven nation, e.g. | | | Investment policy favoring local investors over global ones is typically discouraged in such pacts, and the idea of a separate investment policy rapidly becomes a fiction or fantasy, as real decisions reflect the real need for nations to compete for investment, even from their own local investors. |

| | FY 1996 SEED REPORT (ESTONIA) |
| | A constitutionally-mandated balanced budget, 26% flat-rate income tax, tariff-free trade regime, fully convertible and strong currency, competitive commercial banking sector, and hospitable environment for foreign investment permitted Estonia to sign an EU Europe Agreement in June 1995 without a transition period. | | | Trade continued to expand in 1996; the large current account deficit reflects continuing brisk imports of capital goods. | | | Trade with Russia now totals less than a fifth of Estonia's total trade volume, while more than two-thirds of Estonian exports (textiles, food products, wood, timber products) are directed to Western markets. |

| | Free Trade Agreements and Customs Unions, by Douglas A. Irwin: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of ... |
| | But these advantages must be offset against a disadvantage: by excluding certain countries these agreements may shift the composition of trade from low-cost countries that are not party to the agreement to high-cost countries that are. | | | Free trade, usually defined as the absence of tariffs, quotas, or other governmental impediments to international trade, allows each country to specialize in the goods that it can produce cheaply and efficiently relative to other countries. | | | The gains from such trade liberalization are substantial: a major study by the World Bank shows that income grows more rapidly in countries open to international trade than in those more closed to trade. |

| | Agricultural policy - WebArticles.com |
| | One rationale is that local production of organic produce by families in their own gardens for their own consumption is not taxed or regulated, and that little or no use of the energy-and-land-intensive transport system, or energy-and-labor intensive regulation system is required for these same people to sell the same product to neighbors. | | | A government can erect trade barriers to limit the quantity of goods imported (in the case of a quota) or enact tariffs to raise the domestic price of imported products. | | | A recent Oxfam report estimated that average household incomes of maize farmers will be reduced by as much as 30% over the six years as cheap imports from the US drive down prices in the local markets. |

| | Means of persuasion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | There is, especially in the anti-globalization movement, concern that the means by which nation-states are persuaded to enter into trade pacts subvert democracy - forcing nations for instance to abandon an industrial policy or investment policy or agricultural policy to gain entry to key markets. | | | The means of persuasion in this case, it is argued, is poverty that results from high tax, tariff and trade barriers which can only be reduced by agreeing to the terms of the bloc. | | | Also the mass media have made advertising more prevalent and thus persuasion is a more common factor in ordinary consumer decisions. |

| | SSRN-How Much Does Violence Tax Trade? by Gregory Hess, S. Blomberg |

| | Trade war over genetically modified food |
| | The value of agricultural trade between the US and the European is estimated at $57 billion at the beginning of the 21st Century, and some in the U.S., especially farmers and food manufacturers, are concerned that the new proposal by the European Union could be a barrier to much of that trade. | | | The new European tax, tariff and trade proposal would particularly affect US maize gluten and soybean exports, as a high percentage of these crops are genetically modified in the USA (about 25 percent of US maize and 65 percent of soybeans are genetically modified in 2002). | | | The US move was also interpretated as a sanction against EU for requesting the end of illegal tax breaks for exporters or face up to $4 billion in trade sanctions in retaliation for Washington's failure to change the tax law, which the WTO ruled illegal four years ago. |
