“…For sensitivity analysis, the parameter values of some elasticities were varied to compare if the results from the simulations are different. This is a widely adopted method for robustness analysis (see Waschik and Fraser 2007; Meng, Siriwardana, and Pham 2013; Warr and Yusuf 2014). In our CGE model, the household expenditure elasticities for restaurants and hotels is 1.25, while that of the export demand elasticities for these products is 3.8.…”

This article highlights the impacts on poverty, income inequality, and the macroeconomic and sectoral output resulting from increases in the value-added tax and sales tax on hotels and restaurants using Indonesia as a case study. While taxing tourism-related sectors was ineffective in reducing poverty and income inequality, using tax revenue from the value-added tax as a cash transfer policy was effective and more so in rural Indonesia. Tax revenue used for infrastructural development was however limited in its impact on poverty and income distribution. Overall, the negative effects of taxation on various industries and the contraction of GDP and employment in the economy need to be mitigated. This can be done with an appropriate policy mix for the use of tax revenue between cash transfers and expenditure in education and health, with the view to address potential resource misallocation and output contraction in other industries.

“…Numerous studies have discussed the motivations behind this policy. The first motivation is to increase government revenue (Irwin, 2003; Waschik & Fraser, 2007). The second motivation is to appease the importing country and deter it from imposing explicit trade barriers, which is regarded as “voluntary export restraint” (Boyd & Krutilla, 1987; Dinopoulos & Kreinin, 1988; Yano, 1989).…”

This study examines the heterogeneous spillover effects of an export control policy from an upstream sector to its related downstream sectors. In 2010, China implemented tough policies on rare earth production and export that created a significant price premium for rare earth in foreign markets, thus offering downstream sectors in China cost advantages over their foreign competitors. This study exploits China's policy as an exogenous shock and performs a detailed examination of Chinese customs data. The results show that the export control policy has increased the export price of rare earth downstream products from China, whereas the effects on export quantity and value have been heterogeneous across sectors: they are significant for sectors in which the rare earth cost share is high, and the elasticity of substitution is low.

“…From the literature we could find some studies of impact analysis of export tax policy; Jakfar (2001), Gelan (2004), Waschik and Fraser (2007), Bouët and Debucquet (2010), and Solleder (2013) are among of them. The study of Jakfar (2001) evaluates the impact of the imposition of an export tax on the plywood sector in Indonesia.…”

In May 2012, the Indonesian government implemented a series of new mineral export restrictions: (1) Regulation of Minister Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) No. 7/2012 to ban export of unprocessed metals and non-metallic minerals, and then revised by Regulation of MEMR No. 11/2012; (2) Regulation of Minister of Trade (MOT) No. 29/M-DAG/PER/5/2012 to clarify the position on exports of unprocessed minerals and ores; and (3) Regulation of Ministry of Finance (MOF) No. 75/PMK.011/2012 to impose export tax on these commodities. The main objective of these series of regulations is to increase the value added of the domestic processing industries as stipulated by Law No.4/2009, through giving incentives to mineral processing industries and disincentives (impose tax) on unprocessed mineral exports. This study analyses the impact of these new mineral export restriction policies on the Indonesian economy within a computable general equilibrium (CGE) framework. The model's database is consolidated from three key data sources: (a) the 2005 Indonesian Input-Output (IO) Table; (b) the 2005 Indonesian Social Accounting Matrix (SAM); and (c) the 2005 National Socioeconomic Survey (Susenas). All the data were published by BPS-Statistics Indonesia. This study investigates how the export tax policy affects the country's economy not only at a macrolevel, such as the impact on economic growth, industrial output, and employment, but also at a micro-level, such as impacts on poverty and income distribution.
