Redistribution of social benefits from advances in extension and research in the Tanzanian maize industry
研究了坦桑尼亚玉米产业推广与研究的进步如何影响消费者和生产者福利，发现当商品化率为40%时双方获益相等，60%时消费者获得75%的福利，据此提出差别化税收建议。
Abstract This study determined consumer and producer welfare gains from advances in extension and research in the maize industry of Tanzania to determine how a national taxing schedule should be determined. It was found that, for an off‐farm marketable surplus of 40%, consumers and producers gain equally, while for an off‐farm marketable surplus of 60%, consumers realize 75% of the welfare benefits. This suggests that consumers and producers should share equally in a revenue generating tax for funding maize research and extension programs. However, for large producers with a marketable surplus of 60% or more, their tax should decrease proportionally to the amount sold. Alternatively, if taxed equally, large‐scale producers should receive some form of compensation through direct government payments.
