Warr, Peter2017-09-072017-09-072009-06https://hdl.handle.net/10986/28177A general equilibrium modeling approach is used to estimate the effects within Thailand of unilateral and global trade liberalization, including effects on poverty incidence. It is concluded that across the board trade liberalization is poverty-reducing within Thailand, whether other countries participate in the liberalization or not. This poverty reduction occurs among both farm and non-farm households and this qualitative outcome is not dependent on the particular poverty line used in the analysis. Liberalization in agricultural products alone raises poverty incidence among farm households, while reducing it slightly among non-farm households.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABSOLUTE TERMSAGRICULTURAL COMMODITIESAGRICULTURAL LIBERALIZATIONAGRICULTURAL PRODUCERSAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTSAGRICULTURAL SECTORAGRICULTURAL SECTORSAGRICULTURECASH TRANSFERSCHANGES IN POVERTYCOMMODITY MARKETSCOMMODITY PRICESCONSUMER DEMANDCONSUMER PRICE INDEXCONSUMER PRICESCONSUMERSCURRENCYDISTORTIONSECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC MODELECONOMIC PERFORMANCEECONOMIC SHOCKSELASTICITYEXPENDITURE INCREASESEXPORT COMMODITYEXPORT SUBSIDIESEXPORT SUBSIDYEXPORT VOLUMEEXPORTEREXPORTSFARM HOUSEHOLDSFARM PRODUCTSFARMERFOOD POLICYFOOD PRICESGDP DEFLATORGENERAL EQUILIBRIUMGENERAL EQUILIBRIUM ANALYSISGENERAL EQUILIBRIUM MODELGENERAL EQUILIBRIUM MODELSGINI COEFFICIENTGLOBAL ECONOMYHOUSEHOLD CONSUMPTIONHOUSEHOLD INCOMEIMPORTIMPORT PRICEIMPORT PRICESIMPORTSINCOME DISTRIBUTIONINCOME INEQUALITYINEQUALITYINTERNATIONAL PRICESINVENTORYMACROECONOMIC EFFECTSMEATMILKNATIONAL POVERTYNATIONAL POVERTY LINEPOORPOOR HOUSEHOLDSPOOR PEOPLEPOVERTY INCIDENCEPOVERTY LINEPOVERTY LINESPOVERTY REDUCINGPOVERTY REDUCTIONPRODUCTION SIDEPURCHASING POWERPURCHASING POWER PARITYQUOTASREAL GDPREDUCTION IN POVERTYRURALRURAL AREASRURAL HOUSEHOLDSRURAL INFRASTRUCTURERURAL PEOPLERURAL POORRURAL POVERTYRURAL POVERTY INCIDENCESHEEPSTATIC ANALYSISSTRUCTURAL CHANGETARIFF BARRIERSTAXATIONTOTAL COSTSTRADE DATATRADE LIBERALIZATIONTRADE POLICIESTRADE POLICYVEGETABLE OILSVEGETABLESWAGESWEIGHTSWORLD ECONOMYWORLD TRADEWorking PaperWorld Bank10.1596/28177
