This paper derives the target rates for the simultaneous reform of tariffs and commodity taxes in a small open economy with an endogenous public good. These target rates are independent of consumer preference for the public good but the reform increases welfare. As a special case, welfare is increased by the proportional reduction of all tariffs if it is accompanied by the uniform change of commodity taxes toward the ratio of government revenue to either private consumption or private production. We also present tariff and tax reforms which would lead the economy to the first-best if applied continuously.

This paper examines the welfare effects of the reduction of the highest tariffs and the uniform change of all the tariffs in a small open economy with public production. Using the restricted GNP and expenditure functions, we show that such tariff reforms can improve the welfare of the economy if the public production is initially abundant. A change in the public production as well as a change in the distortion of tariff structures is shown to affect the welfare of the economy.
