TL;DR: In this article, a quantitative framework for projecting levels of poverty under different assumptions about GNP growth, population growth, and changes in income distribution is described, and the model indicates that it is possible to design national and international policies to eliminate the lag between growth of income of the poor and growth of the developing country as a whole.

TL;DR: Anderson and Martin this article examined the extent to which various regions, and the world as a whole, could gain from multilateral trade reform over the next decade, using the World Bank's linkage model of the global economy to examine the impact first of current trade barriers and agricultural subsidies and then of possible outcomes from the World Trade Organization's Doha round.
Abstract: Anderson and Martin examine the extent to which various regions, and the world as a whole, could gain from multilateral trade reform over the next decade. They use the World Bank's linkage model of the global economy to examine the impact first of current trade barriers and agricultural subsidies, and then of possible outcomes from the World Trade Organization's Doha round. The results suggest moving to free global merchandise trade would boost real incomes in Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia (and in Cairns Group countries) proportionately more than in other developing countries or high-income countries. Real returns to farm land and unskilled labor and real net farm incomes would rise substantially in those developing country regions, thereby alleviating poverty. A Doha partial liberalization could take the world some way toward those desirable outcomes, but more so the more agricultural subsidies are disciplined and applied tariffs are cut.

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of a change in procurement strategy of a private buyer in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh has been investigated, where internet kiosks and warehouses were established that provide wholesale price information and an alternative marketing channel to soy farmers.
Abstract: This paper estimates the impact of a change in procurement strategy of a private buyer in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. Beginning in October 2000, internet kiosks and warehouses were established that provide wholesale price information and an alternative marketing channel to soy farmers in the state. Using a new market-level dataset, the estimates suggest a significant increase in soy price after the introduction of kiosks, supporting the predictions of the theoretical model. Moreover, there is a robust increase in area under soy cultivation. The results point towards an improvement in the functioning of rural agricultural markets.
