John Gilbert and Reza Oladi

A chapter in New Developments in Computable General Equilibrium Analysis for Trade Policy, 2010, pp 247-271 from Emerald Group Publishing Limited

Abstract: South Asia is one of the world's poorest regions. In this chapter we use a representative household model of South Asia to explore the potential impacts of regional trade liberalization under the auspices of SAFTA on both the distribution of economic gains across the countries of South Asia, and across various groups within South Asia. We also discuss the underlying theory of a potential extension to our approach.
