Foreign Trade Strategies, Employment, and Income Distribution in Brazil - Hardcover

by Benedict J. Clements (Author)

In this groundbreaking new study, Clements assesses the impact of alternative foreign trade strategies--export promotion and import substitution--on employment and income distribution in Brazil. The first work to evaluate specifically the impact of Brazil's foreign trade policies on income distribution, this volume uses a modified input-output technique to assess income distribution questions.
