Ad Valorem

When product quality and variety can be varied, the yield from a commodity tax is likely to depend not only on the overall rate but also on the form of the tax. This article compares specific and ad valorem taxes from a perspective of revenue maximization. The analysis shows that both kinds of tax are likely to distort nonprice behavior, but suggests that revenue considerations will commonly point to predominantly specific taxation.

Abstract Economic activity is implicated in the long-range spread of invasive species, resulting in ecological and economic damages. Current policies that are used to prevent such spread include specific and ad valorem taxes. However, these taxes are often created under ecological and economic uncertainty. To address this concern, this paper develops a general equilibrium model capable of evaluating the efficiency of specific and ad valorem taxes under uncertainty. Results show that specific taxes are more efficient at achieving a social optimum under imperfect information and that a combination of taxes is needed for multiple forms of long-range transmission.
