Description: "The authors assess the implications of multilateral trade reforms for poverty in China.  They do so by combining results from a global modeling exercise with a national CGE model that features disaggregated households in both the rural and urban sectors.  They examine two trade reform scenarios: one involving global trade liberalization, and one involving possible Doha Development Agenda reforms.  Using the World Bank's $2 a day poverty line, the authors find that multilateral trade reforms do in fact reduce poverty in China.  The biggest reductions occur in the rural areas-largely as a result of higher prices for farm products. "--World Bank web site.
