Though the Baltic Sea countries have displayed substantial reform-facilitated growth and trading activity over the last decade, significant trade barriers still exist. We analyse their implications, using a CGEmodel. Besides the “usual suspects” (tariffs, subsidies, and service barriers) and...

The agreement recently signed between Morocco and the United States foresees several modalities in dismantling tariffs. Our simulations show that the various modalities of trade liberalization may have different impacts on the welfare, the rate of growth and the sectoral trade balance of these...

The paper employs an integrated CGE-microsimulation approach to analyze the poverty effects of tariff reduction. The … results indicate that the tariff cuts implemented between 1994 and 2000 were generally poverty-reducing, primarily through the … (NCR), where poverty incidence is already lowest, than in other areas, especially rural, where poverty incidence is highest …
