Quota rents and subsidies: the case of US cheese import quotas
研究了美国奶酪进口配额和外国出口补贴如何影响配额租金的大小及其在进口商、出口商和政府之间的分配，发现消费者承担了大部分租金和关税，欧盟补贴主要维持了进口商和出口商的租金。
This paper examines the effects of both import quotas and foreign export subsidies on the size of rents from US cheese imports and their division among importers, exporters and the government. The analysis suggests that consumers pay a hefty portion of the wholesale price in rents and tariffs and that the EC‘s subsidisation of cheese imports to the United States has served primarily to maintain importer’s and exporter's rents.
