Does Agricultural Trade Liberalization Help the Poor in Tunisia? A Micro- Macro view in a Dynamic General Equilibrium Context

This project explored the short and long run effects of alternative trade liberalization scenarios on agriculture and economic growth and attempted to synthesize poverty and inequality implications. The research asserted that the emphasis given to the role of agriculture in poverty reduction goes far beyond its direct benefit to rural poor livelihoods; the agricultural sector has particularly strong links to the rest of the economy and offers one
of the most promising avenues to pro-poor growth.
