Abstract: The disincentive effects of total food assistance on the Tunisian economy were analyzed using simultaneous equations. The analysis showed that no significant price disincentives were evident. The authors attributed these results to effective government pricing policy combined with a strong positive relationship between food aid and per capita income.
