Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book defines uneven development in terms of development strategies and their outcomes. Drawing on case-studies from China and India, three types of strategy are discussed: heavy industrialisation, sectoral/regional balance, and economic liberalisation. Also three kinds of outcomes are examined: growth of output and productivity, income, consumption and class inequalities in three spatial dimensions - intra-regional, inter-regional and rural-urban. Furthermore, access to and utilisation of technology, health and educational services are compared.
Download or read book Impacts of Trade Liberalization on the Development of Agricultural Sector and Its Prospected Role in Development in Developing Countries written by Mohammed Rahahela and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study constitutes an attempt to empirically evaluate, in a cross-country context, the respective roles of various theories of dynamic gains from trade liberalization in explaining observed positive impact of trade openness on development and agriculture sector and the prospected role of the agriculture sector in development. Development, in this study, is measured as compound indicators of the life expectancy, per capita income, child mortality, and primary school enrollment. The overall objective of the study is to investigate the impacts of trade liberalization on the development of developing countries and the role of the agricultural sector in the economic development. In order to give insights and provide policy guidelines that would enable its adaptation to meet the changing needs of the agricultural sectors in these countries. This involves the investigation of the impacts of trade liberalization (openness) on the main factors that affect the agricultural sector. This includes the exploration of the impacts of trade liberalization on agricultural trade, agricultural production, agricultural value added and agricultural growth measured as growth in agricultural value added. In addition to other economic development elements, such as, foreign XII direct investment, domestic investment rate, macroeconomic policy quality, size of the government, and black premium market. In this study, a system of simultaneous equations; aimed to identify the various effects of trade policy on development and agricultural sector elements, and the effects of these variables on the growth. For each equation in the system, the results of the estimation procedure are applied to three variants of the same model. These are the baseline model for this study, for the year 1980, 1990 and 1999. Each equation of the model represents the total sample of (74) countries belonging to middle income developing countries according to World Bank classification of the countries for the year 1998. A total of (32) exogenous variables and (11) endogenous variables (channel variables) that are consist the agricultural and economic development are used for the three time periods. For the baseline, only (30) exogenous variables were used, because of lack of data on import commodities and the import concentration for the year 1980. The total effects of the trade policy on economic and agricultural development elements and the agricultural growth and the impact of the agricultural growth on these elements are computed for the time period. The total effect of agricultural growth in development varies from (0.044)% in 1980 to (0.072)% in 1990, which reflects the impact of agricultural sector role in development level. The net effect varies from channel to channel and from year to year, both in sign and magnitudes The magnitudes of each channel variables varied from year to year, and within the same model. The total effect of these channel variables explain about (10) of total increase in development level for the year 1980 and only (4.1%) and (8.9%) for the years 1990 and 1999 respectively. that is there are more variables that influence the development level rather than trade policy.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computable general equilibrium (CGE) analysis has been widely used to study the economic effects of trade liberalisation initiatives. The paper reports on the possibility of extending the use of this methodology to explore the link between trade and development. It focuses on the impact of trade liberalisation measures on income distribution. The paper reviews studies of agricultural trade liberalisation within the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) region, but it is suggested that the approach may have a wider application.

Download or read book The Consequences of Agricultural Trade Liberalization for Developing Countries written by Jean-Christophe Bureau and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent analyses suggest that the impact of agricultural trade liberalization on developing countries will be very uneven. Some simulations suggest that the effects of agricultural trade liberalization will be small, overall, and are likely to be negative for a significant number of developing countries. The Doha Round focuses on tariff issues, but these countries currently have practically duty-free access to European and North American markets under preferential regimes. Multilateral liberalization will erode the benefits of these preferences, which are presently rather well utilized in the agricultural sector. The main obstacles to the exports of sub-Saharan African and least developed countries appear to be in the non-tariff area (sanitary, phytosanitary standards) which increasingly originate from the private sector and are not dealt with under the Doha framework (traceability requirements, etc.). An agreement in Doha is unlikely to solve these problems and open large markets for the poorest countries. It might even increase their handicap relative to developing countries that are more advanced from a technical and commercial standpoint. While this is not an argument to give up multilateral liberalization, a more specific and differentiated treatment should be considered in WTO rules, and corrective measures should be implemented.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inequality in the world is high and rising. The problem of global uneven development is central to, and inseparable from, the international development agenda. In Uneven Economic Development, leading economists and development experts examine the causes and implications of international economic divergences. This comprehensive and timely book reviews economic growth and structural change patterns since the 1960s, before critically reviewing the respective role and impact of trade liberalization, macroeconomic policies, governance and institutions on comparative national economic performance, particularly in developing countries. With country studies included to exemplify the issues at hand, this is a definitive guide to identifying, addressing and perhaps even finding a solution to this global phenomena.

Download or read book Distributional Effects of WTO Agricultural Reforms in Rich and Poor Countries written by Thomas Warren Hertel and published by World Bank Publications. 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.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Uruguay Round trade negotiations marked a historic turning point in the reform of agricultural trade. The Uruguay Round Agreement on Agriculture (URAA) replaced nontariff barriers with bound tariffs, curbed export subsidies, and codified domestic agricultural programs. Unfortunately, the URAA bound many of the tariffs that replaced nontariff barriers too high, it legitimized export subsidies, and it left the domestic farm policies of the major industrial countries largely untouched. Fortunately, regional trade institutions have also begun to grapple with agricultural trade liberalization. Agriculture was featured in the Mercosur agreement, in recent agreements between the European Union and the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, and in the North American Free Trade Area (NAFTA). Plans for broad supraregional trade structures, such as the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum and the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA), have also dealt with the inclusion of agricultural trade. Meanwhile, in developing and middle-income countries, unilateral agricultural policy reforms have been part of recent economic policy changes. However, in the industrial countries, agricultural policy reform has languished in the face of much domestic opposition. But the reform of the European Union's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) in 1992 and the 1996 Farm Bill in the United States seems to have ushered in a new era of relations between government and agricultural groups. The author points out ways that multilateral, regional, and unilateral paths could be coordinated to liberalized agricultural trade. He proposes a set of multilateral talks that would benefit from agricultural reform at all levels and complete the job begun at the Uruguay Round.
