Bela Balassa

No 152, Policy Research Working Paper Series from The World Bank

Abstract: This paper examines issues relating to subsidies and countervailing measures and makes recommendations for changes in existing rules on the basis of economic considerations. This is done by analyzing, successively, the concepts of subsidies (Section I), countervailing measures and serious prejudice, nullification or impairment (Section II), and the special treatment of developing countries (Section III).
