Ten regions by ten sectors aggregation of the GTAP model is used. The sector aggregation takes care of sensitive products which ESA countries decided not to liberalise for obvious reasons. While the EPAs is implemented as from 2008 and all the data, including the protection data, in the GTAP database version 6.1 has the common reference year of 2001, the dataset is updated to reflect (i) the EU enlargement and (ii) the phase out of the Multi Fibre Agreement. Four different experiments are simulated. Results show that (i) although under all scenarios welfare effect increase, Uganda and Madagascar tend to benefit the least and (ii) for some countries, such as Madagascar, Malawi and Zimbabwe, the required overall structural adjustment is low. 000332022 546__ $$aEnglish 000332022 650__ $$aInternational Relations/Trade 000332022 650__ $$aInternational Development 000332022 6531_ $$aPreferential trading arrangements 000332022 6531_ $$aCalibration and parameter estimation 000332022 6531_ $$aThe GTAP Data Base and extensions 000332022 6531_ $$aAfrica (Southern) 000332022 700__ $$aRojid, Sawkut 000332022 700__ $$aAncharaz, Vinaye Dey 000332022 773__ $$j2010 000332022 8564_ $$9d5fc1b63-6565-48fc-9574-df5db6564a10$$s428303$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/332022/files/4762.pdf 000332022 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:332022$$pGLOBAL_SET 000332022 913__ $$aBy depositing this Content ('Content') in AgEcon Search, I agree that I am solely responsible for any consequences of uploading this Content to AgEcon Search and making it publicly available, and I represent and warrant that: I am either the sole creator and the owner of the copyrights and all other rights in the Content; or, without obtaining another’s permission, I have the right to deposit the Content in an archive such as AgEcon Search.
