【 摘 要 】

A general equilibrium modeling approachis used to estimate the effects within Indonesia ofunilateral and global trade liberalization, includingeffects on poverty incidence. It is concluded that globalreform of trade policy in all commodities is a significantpotential source of poverty reduction for Indonesia. Thepoor rural and urban have a strong interest in global tradepolicy reform. If Indonesia were to liberalize unilaterally,poverty incidence also will decline but the effect is small.If liberalization is confined to agricultural products, theeffects are similar but the declines in poverty incidencewithin Indonesia are much smaller.
