The article compares destination-based and origin-based taxes on tradable goods in two countries with unemployment. Destination-based taxes cancel out trade effects, while origin-based taxes do not. Destination-based taxes are too low for non-labor-intensive exports, while origin-based taxes can be higher or lower than cooperative rates.
