Using the global LINKAGE model to generate changes in domestic and international prices that have a direct impact on factor incomes and consumer prices, they estimate the change in real income at the poverty line that would accompany various reform scenarios. When accompanied by additional information about the elasticity of poverty with respect to income, this provides an estimate of the change in poverty by country. Under most liberalization scenarios considered, unskilled wages rise more than average incomes, but the estimated impact on global poverty is modest, especially if developing countries are unwilling to undertake much reform. 2012-06-21T15:31:29Z 2012-06-21T15:31:29Z 2005-10 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2005/10/6318263/global-impacts-doha-trade-reform-scenarios-poverty http://hdl.handle.net/10986/8644 English Policy Research Working Paper; No. 3735 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper
