| Research Abstract |
This research examines the structure of optimal commodity taxes and that of optimal tariffs by using a general utility function. The structures depend only on substitution effects of goods. Main findings are as follows. (i) If all goods are substitutable for each other, the optimal commodity tax rates on all goods are positive. (ii) If all goods in each country are substitutable for each other, the sign of the aggregated tariff rates of the countries on each good is positive.
