4/ "Providing access to inputs at world market prices" entail the following: (i) tax and duty free importation of intermediate inputs and capital equipment for use in export production, (2) a rebate to exporters equal to the implicit tariff times the free trade value of locally sourced importable inputs and (3) a rebate to exporters equal to the implicit tariff times the free trade value of the traded goods content of non-traded intermediate inputs, in addition to the elimination of import and foreign exchange restrictions on imported inputs. The second and third adjustments are necessary once one recognizes that tariffs drive the domestic price by the proportion T relative to the border price. An alternative to ita_s (2) and (3) would be the provision to indirect exporters of access to inputs at world market prices.
