This volume (consisting of 5 chapters, in addition to an introduction) is concerned with the role of agricultural policies in developing countries, with a focus on their potential for raising the incomes of agricultural and rural households and thereby reducing poverty. The welfare impacts of agricultural policies and commodity prices, the stabilization policies after the 2007-08 food crisis, and the use of input subsidies, are addressed.
