Answer to Question 1

The type of exports, commodity or manufactured, may matter. You may wish to use other countries as illustrations, depending on the examples you use in lecture.

Answer to Question 2

Incidence is the extent to which the burden of a tax is born by the activity taxed. To the extent that substitution is possible, an activity will be abandoned when taxed, and revenue will not be collected. The answer should provide examples of this.
