Trade Liberalization, Poverty, and Income Inequality in India / Nontariff Barriers Affecting India's Export
Acharyya, Rajat; Mehta, Rajesh | June 2006
Abstract
The first study in this policy brief discusses the impact of India's trade liberalization as part of its economic reforms and structural adjustment programs initiated during the 1990s on poverty and income inequality. Policy recommendations are made on the basis of these findings.
The second paper illustrates the range of trade barriers Indian exporters face in many developed-country markets (especially US, EU, and Japan), and suggests policy responses.
