Policy instruments:
What kind of tariffs in CAPRI?
CAPRI
During runs bi-lateral “applied” rates, either specific (fixed duty
per quantity, “STARIFF”) or ad-valorem (percentage of import
prices, “ATARIFF”)
The applied rates fall in one of the following 3 categories:
1. Fixed, defined as the minimum of the bound rate
(maximum tariff allowed according to WTO, so-called “Most
favorite Nation” or MFN rates) and the applied rate ex-post
2. Fixed to zero, based on preferences (e.g. North-American
free trade zone, EU15  EU10, Cotonou, Everything but
arms)
3. Endogenous:
1. Under TRQs
2. and/or under Minimum Import Price regimes

CAPRI
Endogenous policy instruments
CAPRI
• Globally:
– Tariffs as functions of import quantities in case of a
Tariff Rate Quota (TRQ)
• EU specific:
– Flexible levies, i.e. tariffs under a minimal import
price regime
– Subsidized exports under WTO value
commitments Intervention purchases and releases
from intervention stocks

Tariff Rate Quota, regimes and rents
CAPRI
Two tiered tariff:
– In quota tariff up to a certain quantity
– MFN (Most Favorite Nation) rate for over-quota imports
Possible regimes:
– TRQ not filled
• lower in quota tariff applied  marginal willingness to pay equal to
border price plus in quota tariff
• No rents
– Over quota imports
• higher over quota tariff applied  marginal willingness to play equal to
border price plus over quota tariff
• Economic rents for imports up to quota: difference between tariffs times
quota
– Binding quota
• In quota tariff applied  marginal willingness to pay in between border
prices plus in quota tariffs and border price plus over quota tariff
• Rent as difference between marginal willingness and border prices plus
in quota tariffs times quota

CAPRI market model: TRQs 11
CAPRI
Why are TRQs important?
CAPRI
• In countries with high MFN rates as the EU, larger
share of imports occur under TRQs
– Realistic simulations of effect of changes in border
protection only possible if TRQs taken into
account:
• A change in the in-quota or over-quota (MFN) tariff may
not provoke any changes in import quantities or prices
• WTO proposes to expand binding TRQs
– Preference erosion:
• Reducing the MFN tariff reduces rents
• In many cases, (L)LDC “own” quotas and thus loose
income
CAPRI Training Session Warsaw 2006

CAPRI
What are the problems with TRQs?
CAPRI
• In many cases, TRQ relate to specific tariff lines
which are more dis-aggregated as the model’s
product  aggregated product is mix of TRQ and
tariff only regime
• Depending on quota administration, the observed fill
rate may not be an indicator for the regime
• Quota may be allocated to single countries or even
firms, but the information may be not available
• “Kinked” functional relationship leads to dis-continous
derivatives of the Langrangian  not suitable for
gradient based solvers => “fudging” function
CAPRI Training Session Warsaw 2006

CAPRI
“Kinked” policy instruments
CAPRI
• Solution either by “Mixed-Complementary Programming”
+ Complementary slackness conditions defined explicitly
- Require specific solvers
• Or by “fudging functions” which smooth out kinks
+ no switch of solver necessary
+ no 0/I solution by behavioural functions for policy agent
- steep derivatives can render solution difficultly

How are TRQs modelled in CAPRI?
CAPRI
• Two types:
– Bi-laterally allocated TRQs: open only for specific trading
partners (TRQREG)
– TRQs open to everybody who has no bi-lateral TRQ (TRQWOR)
• What data are stored:
– TRQNT:
the quota quantity
– TsMFN:
specific tariff MFN (over quota tariff)
– TaMFN:
ad valorem tariff MFN (over quota tariff)
– TsPref:
preferential specific tariff (in quota tariff)
– TaPref:
preferential ad valorem tariff (in quota tariff)

CAPRI
Where can I find the results on TRQs?
1) Who is benefiting from preference?
2) What is the maximal quantity
benefiting from the preferences?
4) What is the value of
the economic rents?
3) How much is imported
total?/with preferences?
Preferential rates = in quota tariffs

CAPRI
Why are flexible levies important
CAPRI
• In the typical range where the applied rate is above
zero, but below the bound rate, the price
transmission from border to market is zero: only the
tariff is adjusted when the border price changes
• A change in the bound rate may not provoke changes
in import prices (specific case of “water under the
tariffs”)
• Used in important EU markets (some coarse grains,
sugar, vegetables)
• Simply using the bound rate overestimates import
prices and effects of trade liberalization
CAPRI Training Session Warsaw 2006

CAPRI
Subsidised exports for EU
CAPRI
• Instrument to increase competitiveness of EU exports
in international markets
– Increase import demand for EU products
– Stimulates exports
– Decreases market pressure in EU markets
– Increase EU market prices
• So-called market comities decide in regular intervals
upon amount of subsidy, but decision criteria defined
in CMOs are vague
• Quantities and values of subsidized exports are
upper bounded since the WTO Uruguay round,
so-called commitment

Data on subsidised exports for EU

• FEOGA budget delivers yearly budget outlays
• EU notifies to WTO quantities, budget outlays and
commitments

CAPRI
Modelling subsidised exports for EU
CAPRI
• The model cannot make a distinction between
subsidized and non-subsidized exports to a specific
destination
• In the base period, a mix subsidized and nonsubsidized exports takes place
• We don’t possess data to distinguish the subsidy by
destination
 All exports receive the same subsidy
• Value limits are integrated in the model,
as the observed mix of export with and without
subsidies cannot be modeled

Modelling subsidised exports for EU
CAPRI
• Assumption to define parameters of function:
– Function depends on EU market prices and administrative
ones: the lower the market price relative to the administrative
one, the higher the value of the subsidies
– Two parameters:
• Steepness of response to prices changes
• Mid point of function
– Function recovers values of subsidized exports for the base
year period
 one degree of freedom left
 a second point is constructed by assuming that only 5% of
commitment is used at 125% of administrative price
• Rather rapid response to price changes

Intervention purchases
CAPRI
• Instrument to stabilize market prices:
– If certain trigger prices are undercut, public
purchases into intervention stocks take place
=> additional demand, price drops are softened
– At higher market prices, stocks will be released,
increase supply and dampen price increases
• Problems for modeling:
– Intervention may react to short-time price
fluctuations
– Complex legislation defining the trigger prices
depending on short time price notations
CAPRI Training Session Warsaw 2006
26
CAPRI
How are intervention stocks modeled
CAPRI
• Three variables:
– Intervention purchases: probability of market
prices to undercut administrative ones times
maximum intervention purchases
– Intervention releases: (1-probability of market
prices to undercut administrative ones) times
probability of market price to exceed unit value
exports without subsidies times times intervention
stock size
– Intervention stock size: start size + purchases releases
