The New Zealand Tariff and Development Board, like its Australian counterpart, conducts enquiries with the purpose of deciding on the level of protection appropriate for particular industries. In reaching its decisions, the Board takes into account criteria which include the desirability of providing employment opportunities and encouraging the best use of labour and management, the necessity of saving overseas funds both in the short and long term, and the need to maintain the growth of sound and efficient industries. This paper suggests methods of quantifying these criteria and illustrates these methods by using evidence on price differentials existing between similar commodities from domestic and foreign sources.
