Abstract
This study reports on the findings from
a major international research project investigating the
poverty impacts of a potential Doha Development Agenda
(DDA). It combines in a novel way the results from several
strands of research. First, it draws on an intensive
analysis of the DDA Framework Agreement, with particularly
close attention paid to potential reforms in agriculture.
The scenarios are built up using newly available tariff line
data, and their implications for world markets are
established using a global modeling framework. These world
trade impacts form the basis for 12 country case studies of
the national poverty impacts of these DDA scenarios. The
focus countries are Bangladesh, Brazil (2 studies),
Cameroon, China (2 studies), Indonesia, Mexico, Mozambique,
the Philippines, the Russian Federation, and Zambia.
Although the diversity of approaches taken in these studies
limits the ability to draw broader conclusions, an
additional study that provides a 15-country cross-section
analysis is aimed at this objective. Finally, a global
analysis provides estimates for the world as a whole.
