在本文中，我们为马里构建了第一个包含微观模拟成分的国别CGE模型，以分析发达国家取消棉花补贴将如何影响贫困和不平等。为此，我们使用了Chen和Ravallion提出的微观会计方法。这个问题引起了极大的关注，因为它在阻碍更广泛的贸易议程方面发挥了不小的作用。到目前为止，研究主要是通过局部平衡分析进行的，而我们使用的是第一个CGE微观模拟模型。一个包含近5000个家庭的17个部门CGE模型被用来证明取消棉花补贴将有助于大幅度减少马里的贫困。此外，我们的研究结果表明，在保留其他农业补贴的同时取消棉花补贴并不会减少所观察到的积极效应。此外，取消补贴似乎对缓解马里的不平等也会有轻微的帮助。版权所有2007作者2007。牛津大学出版社代表非洲经济研究中心出版。版权所有。有关许可，请发送电子邮件：journals.permissions@oxfordjournals.org，牛津大学出版社。
In this paper, we construct for Mali the first country-specific CGE model including a micro-simulation component so as to analyse how removing cotton subsidies in developed countries would impact poverty and inequality. To that effect, we have used the micro-accounting approach proposed by Chen and Ravallion. The issue has attracted significant attention, as it has played no small part in stalling the broader trade agenda. So far, research has been mainly carried out with a partial equilibrium analysis, whereas we use the first CGE micro-simulation model. A 17 sector CGE model comprising almost 5,000 households is used to demonstrate that removing cotton subsidies would contribute towards a significant decrease in poverty in Mali. Moreover, our results show that removing cotton subsidies while keeping other agricultural subsidies does not lessen the positive effects observed. It also appears that removing subsidies would marginally contribute towards easing inequality in Mali. Copyright 2007 The author 2007.
