Download or read book Impacts of Agricultural Trade Liberalisation on Households: The Case of Mexico written by Aida Araceli Mellardo Gonzalez and published by Cuvillier Verlag. This book was released on 2009-10-26 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The analysis of expenditures for different household categories within a CGE framework is a helpful instrument for economists and policy makers. This approach allows researchers to focus on the possible effects that macroeconomic changes and trade reforms might have on household categories, especially in developing countries. This dissertation presents a new household expenditure estimation methodology and an application of it. The estimation is based on a complete household demand system, which is integrated into a household module. The complete demand system regarded in this approach is the one proposed by DEATON and MUELLBAUER (1980) the Almost Ideal Demand System in its linear version (LA/AIDS). The LA/AIDS contains a set of demand functions defining how households in function of prices and household preferences allocate commodities. The household module computes expenditure changes based on changes on prices from the GTAP model and on elasticities coming from the LA/AIDS for Mexican households. The evaluation of household preferences shows that for non-poor households in Mexico, the decisions of purchase between food products and non-food products and services are independently made. Meanwhile, poor households try to first cover their food needs, and as a result of this, are delaying the acquisition of other goods and services. This investigation then evaluates the effects of three different trade reforms on households’ expenditures in Mexico. The results show that Mexico’s efforts to reach a bilateral trade agreement with main trading partners pay off for households as prices of consumed commodities decrease driven by lower values of import commodities. Thus, the first scenario simulating 3 different Free Trade Agreements was identified as the most profitable trade setting for the poorest Mexican households because the price of staple foods decreases considerably. A restricted multilateral agreement considering a partial liberalisation (the second scenario simulating a possible outcome of the Doha Round), was found to be the most prudent and advantageous trade setting for the Mexican households as benefits will be distributed equally across more household categories. The third scenario evaluates a full trade liberalisation, and it was found to improve the performance of export sectors worldwide. The high prices brought about in Mexico might been compensated with gains for farm households, while urban households might lose. However, the inclusion of the income side is required to make conclusive statements on the real effects of a fully liberalised economy in Mexico.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agricultural trade liberalization has been resisted by many developing-country policymakers, including those in the Middle East and North Africa, for fear it could hurt domestic farmers and exacerbate poverty. The authors of Trade Liberalization and Poverty in the Middle East and North Africa argue, however, that this concern about liberalization might be misplaced. Drawing on case studies from Egypt, Morocco, Syria, and Tunisia, the study uses household survey data and computable general equilibrium models to simulate the effects of various liberalization scenarios on different types of households in these countries, especially poor households. The results indicate that agricultural trade barriers are not an effective means of protecting the poor and that the benefits from many forms of agricultural trade liberalization to the region's consumers outweigh the costs to producers. If complemented with other domestic programs-including agricultural research and extension, information services, disease control, and social safety nets-the reforms have the potential to reduce poverty in these nations. The study findings are a valuable resource for policymakers and development specialists evaluating the role trade liberalization can play in economic development and poverty reduction.

Download or read book Agricultural Trade Liberalization in the WTO and Its Poverty Implications written by Sabine Daude and published by Peter Lang Publishing. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume analyzes poverty implications of agricultural liberalization commitments of the WTO. The chosen micro-macro approach examines the link between international trade liberalization policies and impacts at household level. The possible outcomes of the current Doha Round for the agricultural negotiations are simulated using a general equilibrium model. Two scenarios are analyzed relating to whether or not Vietnam, as an example of an accession candidate, becomes a member of the WTO. The resulting price changes are combined with household survey data to derive income and poverty effects. Results show that households in mountainous areas of northern Vietnam are negatively affected in their poverty position by agricultural trade liberalization in the WTO if Vietnam were not a member of the WTO, however, these households gain if Vietnam accedes to the WTO. The study concludes that although trade liberalization would lead to poverty reduction effects for households in these marginalized zones, this would need to be complemented by further measures within the framework of poverty reduction programs.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Rich countries' agricultural trade policies are the battleground on which the future of the WTO's troubled Doha Round will be determined. Subject to widespread criticism, they nonetheless appear to be almost immune to serious reform, and one of their most common defenses is that they protect poor farmers. The authors' findings reject this claim. The analysis uses detailed data on farm incomes to show that major commodity programs are highly regressive in the United States, and that the only serious losses under trade reform are among large, wealthy farmers in a few heavily protected subsectors. In contrast, analysis using household data from 15 developing countries indicates that reforming rich countries' agricultural trade policies would lift large numbers of developing country farm households out of poverty. In the majority of cases these gains are not outweighed by the poverty-increasing effects of higher food prices among other households. Agricultural reforms that appear feasible, even under an ambitious Doha Round, achieve only a fraction of the benefits for developing countries that full liberalization promises, but protect U.S. large farms from most of the rigors of adjustment. Finally, the analysis indicates that maximal trade-led poverty reductions occur when developing countries participate more fully in agricultural trade liberalization.
