“…Thus, only seven variation rates will be found for all 39,520 households. This method is generally used in RA-CGE models analysing poverty such as in Decaluwé et al (1999b), Agénor et al (2001), and Montaud (2003). As we shall demonstrate, this approach does not modify variance in income distribution by household sub-groups for poverty analysis.…”

Poverty and Inequality Analysis within a CGE Framework: A Comparative Analysis of the Representative Agent and Microsimulation Approaches

Two approaches have emerged in the use of CGE models in poverty and income distribution analysis: the traditional representative agent and the microsimulation approach using a large number of households to capture more heterogeneity. This article uses three simple CGE models with representative agent and microsimulation approaches to verify whether the two methods produce compatible results. The use of microsimulation does not appear to lead to different results or contribute significant value‐added in impact analysis at the macroeconomic and sectoral levels. However, when poverty and inequality are the focus, the results produced by the two approaches are inverted, revealing that the choice of approach is crucial when the objective of the analysis relates to poverty and inequality.

“…Si l'approche empirique est utilisée dans certains travaux, des distributions continues telles la lognormale (Dervis, de Melo et Robinson, 1982;Chia et al, 1994;Montaud, 2003), la Pareto (de Janvry et al, 1991) ou la Béta (Stifel et Thorbecke,2003;Decaluwé et al, 2005), sont souvent retenues. Des distributions continues dites plus flexibles (log déplacée, Dagum 8 ou Singh-Maddala 9 ) ont également été retenues ces dernières années (Boccanfuso et al, 2008).…”

RésuméLa nouvelle orientation de la politique économique au Sénégal vise à accroître les revenus des pauvres et à attaquer la pauvreté là où elle est principalement localisée. La stratégie de réduction de la pauvreté va être mise en oeuvre dans un contexte de libéralisation des échanges commerciaux internationaux notamment dans le secteur agricole. Dans ce contexte, nous avons développé un modèle d’équilibre général calculable microsimulé multiménages intégrés permettant d’évaluer l’impact de politiques au niveau des ménages. Nous avons établi le lien entre ces réformes économiques, la pauvreté et la distribution de revenu. Ce modèle offre beaucoup de flexibilité et permet d’introduire des mécanismes de transmission entre les politiques et les indices d’inégalité et pauvreté. Les impacts négatifs obtenus sur la pauvreté suite à l’augmentation du prix des importations agricoles se révèlent importants. De plus, les résultats mitigés obtenus pour les pauvres en milieu rural devraient amener le gouvernement à s’interroger sur la stratégie d’aide à la productivité agricole, afin de prévenir de tels résultats. Nos résultats montrent ainsi que cette approche est un outil riche permettant d’évaluer l’impact de politiques économiques ou de chocs externes sur la pauvreté et la distribution de revenu.

“…Still an additional model developed in the context of Africa is that of Chia et al (1994). More recently, Lo¨fgren (2000) for Morocco, Stifel and Thorbecke (2003), Montaud (2003) for Burkina-Faso, Boccanfuso et al (2005) for Senegal and Savard (2005) for the Philippines among others. 1 These models allowed the impact of counterfactual policy scenarios to be simulated on income distribution.…”

“…Thus, for example, de Janvry et al (1991) use both the lognormal and the Pareto distribution functions to depict income distribution of each household group. Montaud (2003) also uses the lognormal distribution to model income distribution. The authors do not justify why these functional forms are more appropriate than more flexible forms.…”

In this paper we use a computable general equilibrium model to study the impact of a trade shock and a tariff reform on household poverty for an archetype developing country. Unlike other studies, we present the income distribution of each household group as a Beta statistical distribution. In contrast to other studies, this paper presents the poverty lines as being endogenous. With this specification, the poverty line will change following a variation in relative prices. With the new distributions and poverty line, the poverty levels of the base year are compared with the ex-post values. Foster, Greer and Thorbecke's (1984) poverty measures are used. We work with the Cameroon household survey data of 1995-96. We consider two scenarios. The first is a 30 percent fall in the world price of the country's export crop and the second is a reduction of 50 percent in the country's import tariffs. For the first simulation, results indicate a drop in all household incomes and a decrease in the poverty line. Unilateral trade liberalization also has negative consequences on all household incomes. As in the first simulation, the poverty line decreases with a unilateral trade liberalization. In the trade liberalization simulation, the poverty line effect counters the income effect in most cases analyzed. In the other simulation, the poverty line effect attenuates the decrease in the poverty measures.
