In contrast, the World Trade Organization negotiations at the Doha Round were more concerned with the poverty effects on low-income countries, and of foreign reforms, such as the elimination of agricultural subsidies in industrial economies. The author empirically compares the relative poverty impacts of national and foreign trade reforms in Argentina. The author investigates national trade reforms, including tariff cuts on consumption goods and capital goods in Argentina. Foreign trade reforms include the elimination, in industrial countries, of agricultural subsidies and trade barriers on agricultural manufactures and industrial manufactures. These policies enhance the market access of Argentine exports. Overall, a combination of own reforms and enhanced market access would cause poverty to decline by between 1.7 and 4.6 percentage points. This evidence suggests that trade policies can be important poverty-reducing instruments in Argentina.application/pdftext/plainCC BY 3.0 IGOhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTSAGRICULTURAL SUBSIDIESAGRICULTUREAVERAGE TARIFFAVERAGE TARIFFSCAPITAL GOODSCOMPARATIVE ADVANTAGECONSTANT RETURNS TO SCALECONSUMERSDEMAND ANALYSISDEMAND ELASTICITIESDEVELOPED COUNTRIESDOMESTIC PRODUCTIONECONOMETRICSECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC REVIEWELASTICITIESELASTICITYELASTICITY OF DEMANDELASTICITY OF SUPPLYELIMINATION OF TARIFFSEMPLOYMENTEQUILIBRIUMEQUILIBRIUM PRICESEXCHANGE RATEEXCHANGE RATE MOVEMENTSEXCHANGE RATESEXPORT PRICESEXPORT SUBSIDIESEXPORT SUPPLYEXPORTSEXTERNAL TARIFFEXTREME POVERTYFACTOR ENDOWMENTSFACTOR PRICEFACTOR PRICESFACTORS OF PRODUCTIONFOREIGN TRADEFOREIGN TRADE POLICYGDPGENERAL EQUILIBRIUM MODELGLOBAL TRADEIMPORT PRICESIMPORTSINCOMEINCOME EFFECTSINTERMEDIATE GOODSINTERNATIONAL MARKETSINTERNATIONAL PRICESINTERNATIONAL TRADELABOR MARKETLABOR SUPPLYLEISURELIBERALIZATION OF TRADELOW-INCOME COUNTRIESMARGINAL EFFECTSMARKET ACCESSMARKET INFORMATIONMARKET SURVEYSMICROECONOMICSNATURAL RESOURCESPERFECT COMPETITIONPOLICY RESEARCHPOLITICAL ECONOMYPOVERTY LINEPRICE CHANGESPRICE ELASTICITYPRICE INCREASESPRICE INDEXESPRODUCERSQUANTITATIVE RESTRICTIONSQUOTA IMPORTSREGIONAL TRADERESOURCE ALLOCATIONSUBSTITUTESTARIFF BARRIERSTARIFF PROTECTIONTARIFF RATETARIFF REDUCTIONSTELECOMMUNICATIONSTIME SERIESTRADE AGREEMENTTRADE BARRIERSTRADE LIBERALIZATIONTRADE POLICIESTRADE POLICYTRADE PROTECTIONTRADE REFORMTRADE REFORMSUNSKILLED LABORUNSKILLED WORKERSWAGESWELFARE EFFECTSWELFARE IMPACTSWORLD PRICESWORLD TRADEWTO TRADE REGIMETRADE STRUCTUREREFORM POLICYMARKET ACCESSPOVERTY INCIDENCEDOMESTIC TRADETARIFF REDUCTIONSWORLD TRADE ORGANIZATIONLOW-INCOME ECONOMIESFOREIGN TRADEAGRICULTURAL SUBSIDIESCAPITAL GOODSCONSUMPTION PATTERNSTRADE BARRIERSEXPORT DEVELOPMENTPOVERTY REDUCTIONTRADE REGIMEWTO
