Abstract: This paper aims at analysing the linkages between trade liberalisation and poverty in Argentina. Under a specific-factors setting, a two-step procedure is presented. In the first stage the change in prices of goods and factors in both tradable and non-tradable sectors, after a trade liberalisation episode, is considered. In a second step, these variations are applied to assess the changes in poverty and household welfare. A micro simulation approach, using household survey data, is applied in this last stage. Poverty is reduced as a result of the policy and the households that benefit from this reduction are those linked to the non-tradable sectors.
