Policy appraisal and the structure of protection in a low‐income developing country: Problems of measurement and evaluation in Burundi
估算了布隆迪的名义和有效关税以及进口配额等值,指出这些估计在绝对意义上意义有限,但建议提高透明度和统一性以调整相对激励结构。
The article provides estimates of the structure of nominal and effective tariffs and the tariff equivalents of a set of quantitative import restrictions for Burundi, a low‐income, data‐deficient developing country. It carefully indicates the assumptions and limitations of the analysis. The overall conclusion of the article is that not much significance can be attached to the estimates in a cardinal sense. Nevertheless, recommendations about altering the structure of relative incentives can be justified, where these are directed at increasing transparency and uniformity.
