Delegation Games in Customs Unions
研究关税同盟与战略国家贸易时，成员国在允许或不允内部转移支付下，是否将政策制定权委托给伙伴国，取决于政策是战略替代还是互补及成员国攻击性。
We study a model in which a customs union trades with countries which behave strategically. Provided that the members of the customs union are similar but not identical, we show that both in the case in which intra-union transfers are allowed as well as in the one in which they are not, one country may want to delegate authority for making union policy to its partner. The delegation decision depends on whether the policies used by union and non-union countries are strategic substitutes or complements, and on which union member is more "aggressive".
