The effectiveness of ’in-market’ and ’out-of-market’ liberalization policies. Evidence from Indian produce markets
Abstract
In this paper the author examines 2 types of liberalization policies, those aimed at increasing competition and efficiency within the existing regulated market, and those allowing competing channels outside of the regulated system. The author evaluates the effectiveness of both types of reforms in improving the bargaining power of farmers in relation to the licensed traders in the regulated markets.
This is part of the Private Enterprise Development in Low-Income Countries (PEDL) programme.
