TL;DR: This paper examined the relationship between fiscal balance and structural reforms using panel data from 25 transition economies and found that privatization and restructuring, via unemployment, affect the fiscal balance negatively and price liberalization has a robust positive impact on fiscal performance.
Abstract: This paper provides an empirical examination of the relationship between fiscal balance and structural reforms using panel data from 25 transition economies. The results indicate that privatization and restructuring, via unemployment, affect the fiscal balance negatively. This finding provides support for ideas in theoretical transition economics that maintain that fiscal pressures are most severe in fast-reforming countries. In contrast, price liberalization has a robust positive impact on fiscal performance. In addition, the results differ somewhat over different countries and transition time.

TL;DR: This paper constructed a parsimonious empirical Ricardo-Viner model to analyze the same issue and found that the impact on US real wages is very small, and concluded that Batra's assertions are empirically unlikely.
Abstract: We examine results presented by Batra (1992) in an article, published in this Journal, entitled "The Fallacy of Free Trade." Batra contends that technical change in Japanese manufacturing necessarily reduces US real wages in the confines of a two good, two country Ricardo-Viner model. We construct a parsimonious empirical Ricardo-Viner model to analyze the same issue. We find that the impact on US real wages is very small. Systematic sensitivity analysis shows that increases in the real wage are as likely as decreases. We conclude that Batra's assertions are empirically unlikely.

TL;DR: In this paper, the potential implications of the Doha Development Agenda, as well as other trade liberalization scenarios, for Mozambique were considered, and an applied general equilibrium model, which accounts for high marketing margins and home consumption, was linked to results from the GTAP model of global trade.
Abstract: This paper considers the potential implications of the Doha Development Agenda, as well as other trade liberalization scenarios, for Mozambique. An applied general equilibrium model, which accounts for high marketing margins and home consumption in the Mozambique economy, is linked to results from the GTAP model of global trade. In addition, a microsimulation module is employed to consider the subsequent implications of trade liberalization for poverty. The implications of trade liberalization, particularly the Doha scenarios, are found to be relatively small. Presuming that a more liberal trading regime will positively influence growth in Mozambique, an opportunity exists to put in place such a regime without imposing significant adjustment costs.
