Global Free Trade Impact: Lift 500 million out of poverty in 15 years $200 billion annual long-term income gain for developing countries At least half from removing industrial country protection This is twice annual aid, and it benefits industrial country consumers Half of gains are in agriculture

Poverty Intensity of Imports from Developing Countries (%)

Growth Elasticity of Poverty Lognormal distribution: elasticity function of inequality (G), ratio of average to poverty income (z) Lower where inequality higher Higher where z higher Asia typically 3 or more Typically lower in Latin America (1 to 2) because high G; and in Africa (1 to 2) because low z

Reduction in Poverty from Global Free Trade (millions)

Blueprint for a Doha Deal DCs: Phased deep tariff cuts or elimination, including in agriculture, textiles and apparel; DCs: Eliminate agricultural subsidies or fully “decouple” from production; Middle-income DGCs: cut protection at least 50-60 percent; longer phase-in. Second track: immediate free entry from LDCs, HIPCs, SSA; 10-year tax holiday on FDI
