- Abstract
- We provide economic backgrounds to the Agreement on Subsidies and
Countervailing Measures under the World Trade Organization. Permitting R&D
subsidy under Article 8 of the Agreement can be interpreted as an inefficient
victory of an individual exporting country in the non-cooperative game,
harnessing strategic relationship over a foreign rival firm into its domestic
industrial policy. In addition, we show that the expiration of Article 8 can be
understood as a result of the global optimum, where we maximize the sum of
welfares over exporting and importing countries in the symmetric case with a
linear demand.
