我国纺织服装出口限制政策选择悖论及经济学解释

Paradox of China's Textile and Clothing Export Restraints Policy Selection and Economics Explanations

本文首先从理论上分析比较了三类纺织品出口限制政策——出口关税、出口配额和出口行业生产税的福利效应。在此基础上,结合我国纺织品出口限制政策的选择,可以发现我国政府放弃的是总体福利损失相对较小的出口关税措施;最终采用的是对社会整体福利损失可能最大的出口配额政策,而仅对生产有扭曲作用、且福利损失最小的出口行业生产税措施并没有出台。本文对我国这一政策选择"悖论"给出了初步的经济学解释。

This paper firstly analyses and compares the welfare effect of three kinds of export restraints, namely export taxes, export quotas and product tax in theory. The paper concludes that China gives up the export tax, which has lower welfare loss, and finally implements export quotas, which has the largest welfare loss in the three policies, however the product tax policy only distorted to production and with lowest welfare loss has never been taken into practice. The paper gives some elementary explanations from economics point of view for paradox of China textile and clothing export restraints policy selection.
