They find small impacts on mean consumption and inequality in the aggregate. There are both gainers and losers and (contrary to past claims) the rural poor are worse off on average after trade policy reforms. The authors decompose the aggregate impact on inequality into a "vertical" component (between people at different pre-reform welfare levels) and a "horizontal" component (between people at the same pre-reform welfare level). There is a large horizontal component which dominates the vertical impact of full de-protection. The diverse impacts reflect a degree of observable heterogeneity in consumption behavior and income sources, with implications for social protection policies. 2013-06-25T15:16:05Z 2013-06-25T15:16:05Z 2004-08 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2004/08/5062169/gainers-losers-trade-reform-morocco http://hdl.handle.net/10986/14167 English en_US Policy Research Working Paper;No.3368 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, D.C.
