皇冠体育app Impact of the EPAs of the Cotonou Agreement on Trade, Production and Poverty Alleviation in the Caribbean Region
Abstract
皇冠体育app background and objectives, and research findings of this project are presented. 皇冠体育app objective of this research was to consider the potential impact of an economic partnership agreement (EPA) between the EU and the Caribbean, arising from the Cotonou agreement. 皇冠体育app focus was on the possible impact of an EPA on trade, welfare and poverty in the small island economies of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS).
皇冠体育app study largely focussed on three of the OECS islands - Dominica, St. Kitts and Nevis, and St. Lucia. 皇冠体育app research was composed of three parts; in part 1 Caribbean regional integration was analysed; part 2 evaluated via formal simulations the potential impact of EPA induced liberalisation on trade, prices and welfare; and part 3 involved translating price changes derived from part 2 in order to assess the impact of the price changes on poverty using household level data.
