Trade, development and agriculture: essays in economic policy analysis
Anderson, Kym
This book brings together core papers by the author and some of his colleagues during the past two decades on the role of trade openness, especially in farm products, in promotion national and global economic development. The chapters cover four areas: how national comparative advantage evolves in the course of economic growth; how agricultural markets and national and global economic welfare are affected by distortionary price and trade policies; how inefficiently non-trade concerns of societies are addressed using trade-distorting policies; and how the income distributional effects of trade policies drive the political economy of those policies. INDICE: Agriculture in an Integrating, Growing but Distorted World Economy: Evolving Comparative Advantages; Effects of Distortionary Policies on Agricultural Markets and Economic Welfare; Effects of Trade-Distorting Policies on 'Non-Trade' Concerns; Political Economy of Price-Distorting Policies.
