- Abstract
In a recent paper in this Review, J. Bhagwati and T. N. Srinivasan [1] investigated the question of optimal policies required to attain non-economic objectives like ensuring minimum production and employment levels in particular industries as well as preventing excess importation and consumption of some goods. The framework of BhagwatiSrinivasan's analysis is the traditional trade model. In this note we consider three alternative models which allow for inter-industry linkages, the use of imported intermediate goods and non-traded goods. In addition to the non-economic objectives analyzed by Bhagwati-Srinivasan these models allow distinction between maintaining net and gross production levels as well as between employment of domestic and imported inputs.
