Economic reform and armed conflict in Mozambique
分析了1980年代莫桑比克经济演变,重点考察1987年政府实施的结构调整改革,特别是恢复农业激励措施的效果,揭示了价格政策在撒哈拉以南非洲的局限性。
This paper discusses the evolution of the Mozambican economy in the 1980s. Particular emphasis is placed on the effects of the policy reform package implemented by the government beginning in 1987. This reform, centered around the restoration of economic incentives to the agricultural sector, is an example of a structural adjustment package pursued under extremely adverse conditions. The new strategy has yielded some favorable results, but also illustrates some of the limits of price policy in sub-Saharan Africa.
