This study examines the impacts of import duty and trade transaction cost reductions on economic performance, poverty, and income distribution inequality, through the top-down computable general equilibrium approach. Findings/Originality: It reveals that reducing import duty in agricultural decreases urban poverty but increases the poverty incidence at the rural and national levels. Reducing import duty in agricultural industry lowers urban and national poverty without affecting rural poverty. Meanwhile, the reductions of both import duty and transaction costs bring down the poverty incidence at all levels – urban, rural, and national. The inequality in rural and national income distribution increased due to the cuttings of import duty in agricultural and agricultural industry. However, it declined due to the reduction of transaction costs, and the combined transaction cost with import duty in agricultural or agricultural industry.

自由化和贸易便利化对经济表现、贫困和收入不平等的影响：一项分析研究

本研究通过自上而下的可计算一般均衡方法研究进口关税和贸易交易成本降低对经济绩效、贫困和收入分配不平等的影响。发现/独创性：它表明，降低农业进口关税会减少城市贫困，但会增加农村和国家层面的贫困发生率。降低农业进口关税可以在不影响农村贫困的情况下降低城市和国家贫困。同时，进口关税和交易成本的降低降低了城市、农村和全国各级的贫困发生率。由于农业和农业产业进口关税的削减，农村和国民收入分配的不平等加剧。然而，由于交易成本的降低，它下降了，
