The impact of industrial protection on agriculture: A general equilibrium analysis for Peninsular Malaysia
使用多部门一般均衡模型，定量研究马来西亚半岛贸易政策对农业的影响，发现工业保护扭曲激励，偏向制造业和非贸易活动，但不同农业部门受影响不同。
This paper quantitatively investigates the effects of trade policy on agriculture in Peninsular Malaysia using a multisectoral, general equilibrium model. In general, the results bear out the expectation that industrial protection distorts incentives favoring manufacturing and nontradable activities over agriculture as a whole. Whereas this result is familiar from other recent studies, the general-equilibrium approach allows many additional disaggregate findings. Industrial protection in Malaysia taxes, e.g., not all agricultural sectors. The rubber sector is discriminated by tariff protection for manufacturing, but the oil palm sector is favored due to string forward linkages to the protected industries.
