Simulation | Scenario | Description |
---|---|---|
1 | GLOB | Removing all agricultural subsidies and all import and export taxes on goods trade in rest-of-the-world and Argentina |
2 | GLOBag | Same as GLOB except just for agricultural reform (i.e., domestic, import and export taxes and subsidies removed only on agricultural products) |
3 | WTO | Same as GLOB except not removing export taxes |
4 | WTOag | Same as WTO except just agricultural reform |
5 | ROW | Same as GLOB except just in rest of the world, and because it does not include Argentina, export taxes in this country are operational in this simulation |
6 | ROWag | Same as ROW except just agricultural reform |
7 | ARG | Same as GLOB except just in Argentina |
8 | ARGag | Same as ARG except just agricultural reform |
9 | ARG-ex | Same as ARG except only removing export taxes in all categories of goods and services, and again only in Argentina |
10 | ARGag-ex | Same as Sim 9 except just agricultural reform |
