Professors Sahn, Dorosh, and Younger isolate from other factors the effect of specific policy measures associated with adjustment programs. The authors suggest that contrary to common belief, adjustment policies do not harm the poor in Africa. Reforms in fact usually benefit the poor slightly, but alone are insufficient to reduce poverty significantly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51943668351264,"sku":"NEW0521665132","price":50.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/structural-adjustment-reconsidered-economic-policy-and-poverty-in-africa-0521665132","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
