However, these effects are minimized when agricultural tariffs are cut in all developing countries, and when the impact of lower food prices on low income consumers is taken into account in their 15 country sample. 2012-03-30T07:34:46Z 2012-03-30T07:34:46Z 2009 Journal Article Review of Development Economics 13636669 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/5835 EN http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/igo World Bank Journal Article
