      abstract = {The paper explores an important issue in multilateral  agricultural trade negotiations, namely the approach taken  to reduce tariffs, simulating possible liberalization  scenarios. The analysis is based on the model of the Global  Trade Analysis Project (GTAP), and on the related version  6.0 database. Scenarios are run on a 2013 baseline, built  by taking into account a number of events that have  affected (and will further affect) world agricultural  markets up to that period, focusing on the effects that are  specifically attributable to further trade liberalization  in the Doha Round. The policy strategies analyzed are two  hypothetical liberalization scenarios in terms of market  access and export competition, plus a free agricultural  trade benchmark scenario. More specifically, in terms of  market access we compare proportional cuts in tariffs with  a Swiss-formula approach. Over the range of formula  parameters considered here, we find that the impacts are  not greatly influenced by the extent to which higher  tariffs face bigger cuts. Results indicate that welfare  gains could be reaped both by developed and developing  countries, but only the possibility of inter-country  compensations would allow, at least in principle, an  agreement to be reached.},
