“…They summarised their study by claiming that the functional distribution of income is sensitive to policy changes, whereas the size distribution of income is rather stable. Similar results have also been obtained by De Melo and Robinson (1980). More recently, McMahon (1990) shows that the effects on income distribution of unilateral tariff reduction in a dual economy (Kenya) are much stronger, if tariff reduction is restricted to intermediate goods only.'…”

I use a static multi-sector, multi-labour, multi-household Applied General Equilibrium (AGE) model for Turkey to show that the trade policy implemented by Turkish policy-makers in the 1990s is not trade diverting.

It is also shown that overall income inequality declines by 1.1-1.7%, and that its main source is the inter-income inequality between urban and rural areas, which decreases by 8.9- 14.7%.

Further, a structural transformation of higher agricultural productivity coupled with a dynamic non-agricultural economy can be a reliable answer for achieving a sustainable pathway to overcome poverty.…”
