This book was released on 2006-11-09 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the ongoing Doha Development Round of World Trade Organization negotiations, developing countries have had much greater leverage, due at least in part to their large and growing share of world trade. But will the increased influence of developing countries translate into a final agreement that is truly more development-friendly? What would be key ingredients in such a final outcome of the negotiations, and what would the developing countries really get out of it. This two volume set seeks to answer these questions. This volume (Volume 1) is issues-oriented. It takes up some key questions in the negotiations, setting the stage with a historical overview of the Doha Development Agenda to help identify issues of most significance to developing countries, and then explores select issues in greater depth. Volume 2 addresses the question of how a development-friendly outcome to the talks would affect developing countries by quantifying the impact of multilateral trade reform. It presents several different approaches to modeling the effects of the outcome of negotiations, and then investigates why these (and other) modeling efforts produce such divergent results. Aimed at policymakers and stakeholders, this two-volume effort puts into the public domain important analytical work that will improve the chance for a pro-development outcomes of the Doha round negotiations.
Download or read book Climate change and agriculture in the Sudan Impact pathways beyond changes in mean rainfall and temperature written by Siddig, Khalid and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2018-09-26 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several environmental changes have occurred in the Sudan in the past; several are ongoing; and others are projected to happen in the future. The Sudan has witnessed increases in temperature, floods, rainfall variability, and concurrent droughts. In a country where agriculture, which is mainly rainfed, is a major contributor to gross domestic product, foreign exchange earnings, and livelihoods, these changes are especially important, requiring measurement and analysis of their impact. This study not only analyzes the economy-wide impacts of climate change, but also consults national policy plans, strategies, and environmental assessments to identify interventions which may mitigate the effects. We feed climate forcing, water demand, and macro-socioeconomic trends into a modelling suite that includes models for global hydrology, river basin management, water stress, and crop growth, all connected to the International Model for Policy Analysis of Agricultural Commodities and Trade (IMPACT). The outcomes of this part of the modeling suite are annual crop yields and global food prices under various climate change scenarios until 2050. The effects of such changes on production, consumption, macroeconomic indicators, and income distribution are assessed using a single country dynamic Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model for the Sudan. Additionally, we introduce yield variability into the CGE model based on stochastic projections of crop yields until 2050. The results of the model simulations reveal that, while the projected mean climate changes bring some good news for the Sudan, extreme negative variability costs the Sudan cumulatively between 2018 and 2050 US$ 109.5 billion in total absorption and US$ 105.5 billion in GDP relative to a historical mean climate scenario without climate change.

Book excerpt: The WTO negotiations on agricultural trade policy remain deadlocked following the failure of the multilateral talks at Cancân. This study considers various options involved in the discussions, focusing on the Framework for Establishing Modalities in Agriculture (an annex of the revised draft Cancân Ministerial Text) and the positions of key players involved and the joint EC-US proposal. In order to quantify the economic effects of these proposals, the study uses a computable global trade model to analyse trade policy issues, and to assist in the preparation and evaluation of negotiating positions.

Written jointly by the World Bank Group and the WTO, the publication examines how trade could make a greater contribution to ending poverty by increasing efforts to lower trade costs, improve the enabling environment, implement trade policy in conjunction with other areas of policy, better manage risks faced by the poor, and improve data used for policy-making.

Book excerpt: The next negotiating round of the World Trade Organization (WTO) will examine major issues under the three pillars of the Uruguay Round Agreement on Agriculture (URAA): market access, domestic support and export subsidies. It will also focus on key issues under the "new trade agenda" that have important implications for developing countries, such as intellectual property rights, trade-related environment and labour issues, food security, impact of trade policies on rural development, investment and competition policy. In preparation for the next WTO round, many developing countries have requested assistance in the following areas of concern: (i) quantitative economic analyses to evaluate the implications of the new trade agenda in trade and agricultural policy reform; (ii) preparing and formulating appropriate negotiating positions on market access, domestic support and export competition; (iii) evaluating options under secondgeneration issues, such as State trading, sanitary and phytosanitary measures, standards and intellectual property; (iv) enhancing human and institutional capacity to implement commitments under the URAA; and (v) strengthening analytical capacity to effectively participate in the next round of WTO negotiations. In response to that request, three country-specific case studies (on Egypt, the Syrian Arab Republic and Tunisia) were commissioned to address the issues identified above. In general, the preparatory analytical material will be used to directly assist policy makers in the Middle East to evaluate their interests and assess the effects of different negotiating modalities during the negotiations in 2001. More specifically, the background information and data contained in each country-specific study will provide useful qualitative and quantitative analyses of the relevant issues.

Book excerpt: This research explores how multilateralism in trade has worked over the past twenty years - and provides some lessons about how it can work in the future. It describes the WTO's achievements across a number of key areas, including: strengthening the institutional foundations of the trade system; widening its membership and increasing participation; deepening trade integration through lower barriers and stronger rules; improving transparency and policy dialogue; strengthening dispute settlement; expanding cooperation with other international organizations; and enhancing public outreach. It concludes that the WTO has achieved much over its first twenty years but the success of the WTO has inevitably given rise to new challenges.
