Title: Published and Realized Tariffs: the Weak Link
Abstract: This paper investigates the link between published tariff
rates and realized tariff rates using Indian inter-industry manufacturing
sector data over three Plan periods. Understanding this link is important
as economies liberalize trade and must deal with the potential revenue shortfalls:
if the published and realized rates exhibit independent idiosyncratic behavior,
it is difficult to calculate the actual implications of changes in the published
tariff rate.
