Abstract
As in other sub-Saharan countries, small-scale subsistence farming constitutes the predominant source of livelihood in Ghana. This grant will allow the Institute of Statistical, Social and Economic Research (ISSER) at the University of Ghana to assess the linkages between international trade and poverty with special attention to gender-differentiated impacts. The proposed research framework will combine three methodologies: the conventional price-transmission methodology described by McCulloch et al (2002); the agricultural household model of Singh et al (1986); and a model of intra-household bargaining power based on the work of Hoddinott and Haddad (1995). The framework should permit a better understanding of the distributional impact of trade policy reform in Ghana. The research will result in a book and a number of ISSER technical reports.
