| Abstract: | The rural welfare distributional effects of changes in food prices under induced wage responses are examined for rural Bangladesh. The approach falls short of a fully fledged general equilibrium analysis of welfare effects with flexible prices. Attention is focused on the more tractable (and arguably most important) issue of the labour market responses to changes emanating from food markets. An effort is made to base the analysis on a consistent model of farm-household behaviour for which crucial parameters can be estimated with readily available date. |
