摘要
This paper explores the gains-from-research issue within the framework of a product which is traded with the aid of export subsidies. Because of the taxpayer burden associated with increased exports, it is quite possible for the returns to research to be negative. A decline in the rate of protection through a rising world market leads to a linear increase in the gains from research, while a rise in the internal support price will cause a non-linear and negative response if the supply shift is pivotal and a linear and negative response if it is parallel. Finally, global returns to research will be higher than individual country returns and will always be positive in a free trade environment.
