Abstract: |
This paper examines the effect of import
liberalization in Bangladesh using a modestly disaggregated numerical
general equilibrium model. Because intermediate goods account for a
major share of imports, the removal of import restrictions has an
overwhelming effect on the supply side of the economy. The domestic
manufacturing sector is found to expand, particularly the manufacture of
exportables. Sensitivity of the results obtained is tested by perturbing
certain key parameters. Additional related results are discussed. |
