We present a SAM-methodology for integrating simple macroeconomic and CGE models, which is applied to integrate standard versions of the merged and static CGE model frameworks. The integrated model accounts for relative prices and income distribution. A set of integrated model projections is...

The measurement issue is the key issue in the literature on trade policy-induced agricultural price incentive bias. This paper introduces a general equilibrium effective rate of protection (GE-ERP) measure, which extends and generalizes earlier partial equilibrium nominal protection measures....

In this paper, we present a comparative analysis of the extent to which indirect taxes, tariffs, and exchange rates affected relative price incentives for agricultural production in a representative sample of 15 developing countries in the 1990s. Empirical studies from the 1980s, using partial...
