Poverty Reduction through Fiscal Restructuring
A method is developed to simulate the impact that changes in the composition of taxes and public expenditures may have on poverty incidence and inequality. The paper then applies this framework to Thailand. We find that significant effects on poverty can be achieved though moderate, once-only redistributions of the total tax burden towards taxes that fall predominantly on the rich, including personal and corporate income taxes, and comparable rea…
Poverty, Inequality, and Economic Growth
Thailand has recently experienced a prolonged economic boom followed by a collapse. During the boom the incidence of absolute poverty fell dramatically but relative inequality increased. The collapse of 1997 had the reverse effects. The poor initially became significantly worse off in an absolute sense but proportionately less so than the rich. Inequality thus declined. The significance of these events depends on a fundamental question: does the …
The Failure of Myanmar ́ Agricultural Policies
The Thai Economy
Following elections in November 1996 a new coalition government took office in Thailand, led by incoming Prime Minister and New Aspiration Party leader General Chawalit Yongchaiyut. The new administration began its work in an atmosphere of great concern about the state of the Thai economy. Throughout 1996 Thai economic commentary was dominated by signs that the export-led boom that began in the late 1980s may be coming to an end. Most important o…
Testing the small‐country assumption
The familiar ‘small‐country’ assumption is tested empirically in this paper, focusing upon the long‐run international demand for Thailand's rice exports and drawing upon recent developments in the statistical analysis of economic time series. A relatively robust long‐run price elasticity of export demand is obtained, at just under 2. The literature on the export demand for manufactured goods has shown the central importance of the ‘normalization’…
The Uruguay Round and the Developing Countries
Comparative Advantage and Protection in Indonesia 1
The comparative advantage of Indonesia's traded goods producing sectors is examined in this paper. Comparative advantage is studied by computing the domestic resource costs of foreign exchange earned or saved in each of the 138 such sectors defined in the 1985 input-output tables for Indonesia. The paper also computes measures of effective rates of protection. It is found that these two types of measures are highly correlated across industries. T…
Export promotion via industrial enclaves
The economic merits of export processing zones as a form of export promotion are studied in this article by focusing upon a large, long‐established zone in the Philippines. It is shown that although the absence of trade duties and other regulations led the zone to generate significant benefits for the Philippines, through employment and foreign exchange earnings, this was outweighed by the heavy public infrastructure investment necessitated by th…

On the Shadow Pricing of Traded Commodities
This paper extends the case for shadow pricing traded commodities at their relative international prices in benefit-cost analysis. This result is shown to hold (a) when there are nontraded commodities whose (possibly distorted) prices are indirectly affected by public production of traded commodities, and (b) when there is a government budgetary constraint. Contrary to arguments found in the literature, neither of these cases in itself provides a…
