Abstract:
The government of Mali imposed an import licensing system for certain products in which prospective importers were required to purchase given amounts of domestic output to obtain import licenses. The arrangements have an impact equivalent to that of a tariff when the tariff revenue is transferred to the domestic industry as a subsidy. The cost of these linking arrangements may be greater or smaller than the cost of a tariff, depending upon the policy's objective and the structure of the protected industry. If price controls are also imposed on the same products the sequencing of the removal of controls becomes important.
