Abstract
Recently the Bank has provided new
indicators for monitoring the extent to which agricultural
policies restrict international trade in farm goods. They
come from two studies with differing methodologies and data
sources, and each provides less-than-perfect estimates. This
note shows how and explains why the two indexes differ for
some countries.
