      abstract = {The effects of trade liberalization on poverty in Tunisia  are examined, using a layered dynamic CGE-microsimulation  approach. A dynamic CGE model endogenously generates the  evolution of prices and, for each household group, income  paths under protection and freer trade assumptions. These  results are then used to assess the equivalent income of  each household, using a sample from 1995 household survey,  and so the effects of the simulated changes on poverty.  Dominance tests are also used to avoid the arbitrariness of  choosing a poverty line and a poverty measure. Simulation  results show that although trade openness slowdowns the  downward trend of poverty in the short and medium-run, it  enhances poverty reduction in the long-run.},
