Although there are likely to be substantial efficiency gains from tariff reductions, these accrue mainly to higher income households. In addition, poor net rice sellers will lose from lower tariffs. Developing a system of well designed and implemented targeted direct transfers to poor households is thus likely to be a substan 410 0$aIMF working paper ;$vWP/08/9. 606 $aRice trade$zMadagascar$xEconometric models 606 $aTariff on farm produce$zMadagascar$xEconometric models 606 $aPoverty$zMadagascar$xEconometric models 607 $aMadagascar$xEconomic policy$xEconometric models 607 $aMadagascar$xEconomic conditions$xEconometric models 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aRice trade$xEconometric models. 615 0$aTariff on farm produce$xEconometric models. 615 0$aPoverty$xEconometric models. 700 $aCoady$b David$0629944 701 $aDorosh$b Paul Anthony$0914310 701 $aMinten$b Bart$0914311 712 02$aInternational Monetary Fund.$bFiscal Affairs Dept. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464853203321 996 $aEvaluating alternative approaches to poverty alleviation$92048454 997 $aUNINA
