Outline of Final Research Achievements

We consider a government consisting of two policy implementation departments,
each of which is self-interested. We examine whether each of these departments
disguises itself as a benevolent policymaker in the sense that it adopts welfare maximization as its “surface” objective to determine the policy variable, although its“true” objective is self-interest maximization under a tariff/subsidy scheme. We also examine whether an increase in the number of departments disguising themselves as welfare-maximizers improves welfare. When the cost difference between home and foreign firms is at the intermediate level, the subsidy department does not disguise itself as a benevolent policymaker, whereas the tariff department may do so. In addition, the welfare level in the partial disguise case is lower than that in the no disguise case.
