Abstract: A quantitative multisectoral general equilibrium model is used to study, for the Ivory Coast, the macroeconomic and sectoral implications of the depressing effects of the CAP on the world agricultural commodity price. The results indicate significant gains in real national income. The amount by which the national income gain exceeds the pure terms of trade gain is an increasing function of the degree of labour mobility between agriculture and other sectors and the extent to which the temperate agricultural growing and processing sectors are exposed to import competition. The accompanying redistribution of the increased national income has unfavourable consequences for these sectors.
