This handbook devotes most of its chapters to reviewing sectoral policies related to agriculture. This chapter moves to a macroeconomic and macrosectoral view of the policy framework and its possible interaction with the agricultural sector. A previous handbook (Gordon Rausser and Bruce Gardner,...

This paper develops a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model to analyze and derive simple budget rules in the face of volatile public revenue from natural resources in a low-income country like Niger. The simulation results suggest three policy lessons or rules of thumb. When a resource...

This paper uses a computable general equilibrium model of Turkey to explore the empirical effect on adjustment to various macroeconomic shocks of a variety of "structuralist" rigidities. Four types of rigidities are considered: exchange rate rigidity leading to premium rationing and rent...
