| Abstract: | The authors use a two-step computationally simple procedure to analyse the effects of trade liberalisation using household survey data for Mexico. First, the authors use an already available CGE model provided by the Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) as the price generator. Second, the authors apply the changes in prices to the household survey data in order to assess the effects of the policy simulation on poverty and income distribution. By choosing GTAP as the price generator, the authors are able to model the differential tariff structure quite appropriately. Even starting with a low level of tariff protection, simulation results show that the impact of tariff reform on welfare will be positive in general. |
