The author investigates national trade reforms, including tariff cuts on consumption goods and capital goods in Argentina. Foreign trade reforms include the elimination, in industrial countries, of agricultural subsidies and trade barriers on agricultural manufactures and industrial manufactures. These policies enhance the market access of Argentine exports. Overall, a combination of own reforms and enhanced market access would cause poverty to decline by between 1.7 and 4.6 percentage points. This evidence suggests that trade policies can be important poverty-reducing instruments in Argentina. 2014-04-25T16:34:00Z 2014-04-25T16:34:00Z 2003-09 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2003/09/2543992/trade-reforms-market-access-poverty-argentina http://hdl.handle.net/10986/18053 English en_US Policy Research Working Paper;No. 3135 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Publications & Research Latin America & Caribbean ARGENTINA
