本研究采用重复博弈的方法，探讨了市场一体化（特别是贸易成本的降低）与关税合作可持续性之间的关系。我们探讨了非合作关税和合作关税的贸易成本和国内产业规模的属性。我们发现，市场一体化并没有导致双边降低关税税率的非合作政策制度。相比之下，当市场一体化时，合作制度会带来双边关税削减。此外，通过使用重复博弈的方法，我们证明了市场一体化促进非对称国家之间的合作。
This study explores the relationship between market integration—specifically a reduction in trade costs—and the sustainability of tariff cooperation, using a repeated game approach. We explore the property of noncooperative and cooperative tariffs about trade costs and the size of the domestic industry. We find that market integration does not induce the tariff rates to be lowered bilaterally in the noncooperative policy regime. By contrast, the cooperative regime brings about a bilateral tariff reduction when the market becomes integrated. Furthermore, by using the repeated game approach, we demonstrate that market integration facilitates cooperation between asymmetric countries.
