Year: 2006

Type: book-chapter

Abstract: In recent years, the impacts of macroeconomic shocks, such as ﬁscal reform and trade liberalisation, on income distribution and poverty have become the subject of intense debate. Which tax regime is most equitable? Do the poor share in the gains from freer trade? What alternative or accompanying policies could be used to ensure a more equitable distribution? What are the mechanisms involved?
