Agricultural Distortions Working Paper;101 |
| description |
This paper analyzes the poverty and
inequality implications of removing agricultural and
non-agricultural price distortions in the domestic market of
the Philippines and abroad. Liberalization in the rest of
the world is poverty and inequality reducing, whereas full
domestic liberalization increases national poverty and
inequality. Poverty declines while inequality increases
marginally in the combined scenario of both global and
domestic agriculture reform. Although the reduction in the
national poverty headcount is small in the latter scenario,
the poorest of the poor, particularly those living in the
rural areas, emerge as 'winners', given their
strong reliance on agricultural production and unskilled
labor wages. |
