From the supplier: The Harris-Todaro model was used to analyze optimal trade policies of a small labor-surplus economy with intersectoral capital mobility. Increased importable goods prices increases the capital rental but decreases the rural wage while neglecting the factor intensities of traded goods. An import tariff was shown to be welfare reducing, with the optimal tariff being negative. The optimal production subsidy on importable goods is negative and the optimal tariff is zero if a production subsidy is used.
