ABSTRACT
This note shows that in the Brander-Spencer model of export subsidy, if there is no cost of financing subsidies, either a specific export subsidy or an ad val orem export subsidy can be used to achieve the same maximum welfare level. If, however, there is a binding budget constraint, a specific subsidy dominates an ad valorem subsidy. (JEL Classification: F13)
