| contents | Improving Trade and Transport Services in Tanzania: A General Equilibrium Approach Elina Eskola The study uses a computable general equilibrium (CGE) approach to simulate the welfare gains of <br>improving trade and transport services in Tanzania up to the year 2015. The model takes into <br>account the regional differences in trading margins and the different production patterns of <br>commercial and subsistence producers. The results show that substantial economic growth can be <br>achieved by alleviating the existing bottle necks in marketing. The regional growth patterns of <br>production after market improvement favour the more isolated and often poorer regions, leading to <br>decreased regional inequality over time. The main beneficiaries of the policy change are the rural <br>poor whose income grows faster than the income of the wealthier urban dwellers. The results <br>suggest, that if sufficient resources and political commitment to improving trade and transport <br>sectors can be mobilised, the economic performance can be enhanced to reach the Millennium <br>Development Goals by 2015.
