Agricultural pricing policy in Eastern Africa: A macroeconomic simulation for Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania, and Zambia

In: EDI Technical Materials

Abstract

This study is a participatory simulation that provides seminar participants with the opportunity to experience vicariously the process of food and agricultural policymaking in a developing country. It explores the tensions that exist among such policy objectives as efficient economic development, economic stability, equitable distribution of income, and food security. It compares how successfully or unsuccessfully the four countries Kenya, Malawi, Tansania and Zambia have succeeded in resolving these tensions. (DÜI-Hff)
