Abstract

Empirical modeling of trade reform options make clear that there is a great deal to be gained from liberalizing merchandise—and especially agricultural—trade. If it were done multilaterally under the World Trade Organization’s (WTO’s) Doha round, a disproportionately high share of that potential gain could go to developing countries (relative to their share of the global economy). Moreover, the poorest people in developing countries are most likely to gain from global trade liberalization, namely farmers and unskilled laborers in developing countries, provided developing countries did not demand Special and Differential Treatment (SDT). To realize that potential gain, it is in agriculture that the greatest cuts in bound tariffs and subsidies are required. However, the political sensitivity of farm support programs have made a Doha agreement elusive.
