Impact of ADB projects on agricultural policies : a joint impact assessment for the Asian Development Bank

This paper assesses the pre and post Free Trade Agreement (FTA) pattern in bilateral trade between Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Besides the usual direction of trade analysis we also use general and partial equilibrium approaches in order to evaluate the true potential of this FTA. Our results reveal an increase in welfare and efficiency for both countries. However export basket has not changed much since pre-FTA period. This calls for creating awareness about the FTA and putting in place a consultative mechanism with trade community that can identify the manner in which both countries can accrue maximum benefit from the free movement of tradable goods. Similar suggestions follow in our perception survey carried out for this study.

Trade agreements between developing countries: a case study of Pakistan - Sri Lanka free trade agreement

Any policy reform will bring positive impacts as well as adverse impacts to the society, depending on the economy and on the characteristics of the population group. The impacts of trade liberalisation, particularly the impact of trade policies in developed countries and inequality in developing economies, is strongly debated in the international trade and development arena. Objective of this paper is to present a comprehensive review of the theoretical and empirical literature on the effect of agricultural trade liberalisation on poverty, in particular, focusing in Sri Lanka. Methods used for analysing the complex poverty impacts of trade liberalisation include partial equilibrium models, econometric analysis, general equilibrium models, and micro/macro simulation models, which combine macro-level simulation with micro-level household models. Agricultural trade liberalisation in particular tends to adversely affect small farmers in developing countries while large scale farmers/producers and the farmers from developed countries gain through agricultural trade liberalisation. Therefore, agricultural trade liberalisation tends to supports consumers while adversely affecting rural producers. However, country-specific studies are needed to explore the outcomes for particular groups in particular countries. Each and every policy reform will bring positive impact as well as adverse impact to society, depending on the economy and on the characteristics of the population group.
