Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Global Impacts of the Doha Scenarios on Poverty
Kym Anderson · 2005
73/100
👍 Worth It
This World Bank CGE study does serious, cited work on how WTO trade liberalization flows through to poverty outcomes — methodologically rigorous and genuinely influential in development economics. The catch is that it speaks only to specialists: the modeling assumptions are complex, the prose is technical, and the findings shift significantly with baseline choices. If trade policy and poverty measurement are your world, it delivers; everyone else will bounce off page two.
