[http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/titles/00220388.asp]0022-038810.1080/00220380701466666http://hdl.handle.net/2263/3651The paper uses a microsimulation computable general equilibrium (CGE) model to study the impact on poverty of a complete removal of tariffs in Zimbabwe. The model incorporates 14,006 households derived from the 1995 Poverty Assessment Study Survey. This paper's novelty is that it is one among a small group of papers that incorporates individual households in the CGE model as opposed to having representative households. Using individual households allows for a comprehensive analysis of poverty. The complete removal of tariffs favours exporting sectors. Poverty falls in the economy while inequality hardly changes. The results differ between rural and urban areas.305754 bytesapplication/pdfenTaylor & FrancisComputable general equilibrium (CGE)PovertyMicrosimulationZimbabweTariffs removalIndividual householdsFree trade -- ZimbabwePoverty -- ZimbabwePostprint Article
