Much current debate focuses on the role of growth in alleviating poverty. However, the majority of computable general … equilibrium (CGE) models used in poverty and inequality analysis are static in nature. The inability of this kind of model to … account for growth (accumulation) effects makes them inadequate for long run analysis of the poverty and inequality impacts of …

Both of these scenarios show a deep decrease in … unemployment as well as a fall of poverty for each population groups …

The paper employs an integrated CGE-microsimulation approach to analyze the poverty effects of tariff reduction. The … results indicate that the tariff cuts implemented between 1994 and 2000 were generally poverty-reducing, primarily through the … (NCR), where poverty incidence is already lowest, than in other areas, especially rural, where poverty incidence is highest …
