Resumen
Descripción
Economic reform programs assume that major goods are tradable, such that
depreciation of the real exchange rate raises the value of output compared to factor costs
in domestic currency. In Tanzania, major food staples that account for most real income
are non-tradables in at least one-quarter of the country. This is demonstrated and
implications assessed for the constraints imposed on macroeconomic-led adjustment
strategies.
