Book Description
Of the stabilization schemes proposed to ease the liberalization of quota-driven, price-managed domestic markets for several "essential" commodities, the wide price band - based on a moving average of nominal border prices - is the least offensive. It provides benefits when price movements are extreme but preserves average international price signals.

Tariff-Based Commodity Price Stabilization Schemes in Venezuela
Author: Norbert Schady

ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 51
Book Description
Venezuelaamp;apos;s agricultural sector is heavily regulated and protected. As part of structural adjustment, the government is considering major reform of its agricultural trade policies. The strategy is to introduce competition into the economy by removing government price controls and liberalizing trade. In 1990, the Government proposed a price stabilization scheme to ease the liberalization of quota-driven, price-managed domestic markets for several quot;essentialquot; commodities - including maize, sorghum, rice, wheat, sugar, palm oil, soybeans and soybean products. The authors analyzed historical data to demonstrate the effects of several alternative stabilization schemes on domestic prices and government revenues. They also calculated average welfare benefits, including transfer and risk benefits, based on assumptions about risk aversion among producers. The effects of the various stabilization schemes on government revenues and producer welfare depend on both the crop and the method of stabilization chosen. Generally, the authors conclude that a wide price band, based on a moving average of nominal border prices, is the least offensive of the stabilization proposals, providing benefits when price movements are extreme but preserving average international price signals.

Foreign Direct Investment in Sub-Saharan Africa
Author: Laurence Cockcroft
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN:
Category : Africa, Sub-Saharan
Languages : en
Pages : 74
Book Description
Foreign investment is even less likely to meet Sub-Saharan Africa's rising foreign exchange and savings gaps in the 1990s than in the dismal 1980s. Investors interested in Sub-Saharan Africa are more likely to commit technology and management than equity capital. Economic activity and overall economic policy may be more effective at raising the total volume of investment than special fiscal and other incentives.
