To discuss the economic effects of host-country under the condition of the tariffied capital intensive goods and hte capital inflows, the paperassumes that the exports-sector is a monopolistic competition department,and develops a general equilibrium model. With the constant tariff, Breacher and Alejandro (1977) demonstated thatthe insufficient capital inflow lasts the host-country's needs to import the capital intensive goods, and it will reduce the host-country's welfare, The result of this thesis is basically in agreement with their conclusion. On the other side, they considered that the sufficient capital inflow causes the host-country's capability of producing the capital intensive goods and stops importing the capital intensive goods. Then it will improve the host-country's welfare. Nevertheless, this thesis examines the results is ambiguous, because this result depends on the effects of income and price. Futhermore, with tariff-induced capital inflow, this paper explores the economic effects of host-country. Jones (1984) pointed out that tariff-induced capital inflow will reduce the host country's welfare.Besides, Yabuuchi (1990) supposed that the import (export) sector is in thepresence of constant returns to scale (increasing returns to scale), and stated the same conclusion. However, this thesis analyzes this result is not for sure, because this result is also affected by the relative effects of factor-income, tariff-income, and tariffed net-price.
