The distributional dimensions of revolutionary transition: Ethiopia
研究了埃塞俄比亚革命转型期间农村部门对经济表现的影响，发现农业增长缓慢导致通货膨胀，增长成本主要由贫困人口承担，并分析了十年计划的分配后果。
This study attempts to investigate some of the distributional costs that have attended upon the process of revolutionary transition in Ethiopia, focusing on the crucial role of the rural sector in this regard. The central variable through which this sector influenced national economic performance was the marketed proportion of output. The study deals with this linkage and with the macroeconomic distributional outcomes of the growth process for the rural and urban sectors. The probable distributional implications of the Ten Year Plan are elicited, and the sobering findings provide the motivational force behind a few strategic policy considerations that are briefly outlined. It is argued that the national economic growth process was seriously imbalanced, and the sluggishness of agriculture meant that the growth was financed through an inflationary process which passed on the costs of accumulation substantially on to the poorer sections of the population.
