These estimates are then used to set-up a model that can use price and income changes from simulating a general equilibrium model to determine the impact of changes on macroeconomic policy on the nutritional status of households. Results indicate that the tariff reform program has a more progressive impact on nutrition than on income.No physical items for this record
