    • Optimal taxation in applied general equilibrium models adopting the Armington assumption 

      Vennemo, Haakon (Discussion Paper;No. 55, Working paper, 1990-12)
      The paper derives formulas for optimal taxation in a stylized Applied General Equilibrium (AGE) model, and shows their potential empirical significance. Because of the Armington-assumption for exports and imports, the ...
    • Optimal timing of environmental policy. Interaction between environmental taxes and innovation externalities
