On Capturing Oil Rents with a National Excise Tax Revisited

Rubio, Santiago J. - 2004

In this paper the scope of Bergstrom's (1982) results is studied. Moreover, his analysis is extended assuming that extraction cost is directly related to accumulated extractions. For the case of a competitive market it is found that the optimal policy is a constant tariff if extraction is...
