Moreover, the presence of distortions, such as the two-tier price system and hugely differentiated taxes increase the likelihood of a double dividend.
Using country averages for some variables and city averages for others introduces its own distortions.
Attempts to diversify the cereal-dominated system must, therefore, incorporate appropriate policy reforms designed to reduce the distortions which have favoured cereal production.
Due to transaction costs, tax distortions, bureaucratic inefficiencies, or corruption, this share is less than one.
A general equilibrium analysis identifies influences that such distortions have on poverty and environment.
Such a finding provides further evidence for the importance of treating children with such distortions through alternative intervention strategies, potentially in educational settings.
Therefore, the findings from the study provide implications for only these specific distortions.
In particular, the economic distortions associated with price policies are predicted to be quite large and such policies also will primarily benefit high-income groups.
