Resumo(s)
I study the group of countries who conducted the largest tariff reductions of the
late 1980’s to analyse the relationship between trade reforms and different poverty
reductions. I find that countries with larger reductions in poverty are associated with
higher labour to land ratio, lower capital to labour ratio, negative trade balance and
better legal systems. I find that W.T.O. participation is not relevant to poverty
reductions. I also find that changes in exports good’s prices can affect the countries
poverty. Econometric analysis although supporting the coefficients signs fails to provide
significant results.
