Using survey data for 54 developing countries, the book explores the potential trade-off between the gains from trade and the distribution of those gains and provides a quantification of the inequality-adjusted welfare gains from trade. The book begins with an introduction to the model and its methodology. Chapter 2 sets up the model and derives the formulas for the welfare eects of trade policy. Chapter 3 uses the tari data and the survey data to estimate those welfare eects in 54 countries. Chapter 4 discusses the gains from trade and their distribution. Chapter 5 evaluates and quanties the trade-o between income gains and inequality costs of trade. Chapter 6 presents robustness tests and results from alternative models of the impacts of trade. The last chapter reviews the Household Impacts of Trade database and dashboard, which provides data for replication and a platform that allows researchers to simulate agricultural tari policy shocks. Providing a comprehensive empirical analysis of the effects of trade policy on inequality in developing countries, this volume will be of interest to researchers and students of economic inequality, development, and international trade as well as policymakers interested in the inequality and poverty consequences of trade policy Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Print version record Subject Poverty -- Government policy -- Developing countries Commercial policy -- Social aspects Economic history Economic policy Poverty -- Government policy SUBJECT Developing countries -- Commercial policy -- Social aspects Developing countries -- Economic policy Developing countries -- Economic conditions. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85037344 Subject Developing countries Form Electronic book Author Porto, Guido G.
