| dc.description | Certain developments in international trade have made it inevitable
for LDCs to commence import-substituting industrialization. The measures
used to intervene in trade for this purpose have resulted in certain factor
and commodity price distortions in the domestic economies of LDCs, giving
rise to resource allocational and income distribution effects which are not
often appreciated. Tariffs quantitative restrictions, import duty drawbacks
on inputs as well as administrative controls are shown to have been widely
used in Kenya to promote industrialization and exports. Different combinations
of these policies have different effects on income distributions resource
allocation and profits. The effects are further complicated by imperfections
in import-substituting industries. Certain measures are proposed for more
efficient combinations of the policies in the face of imperfections. | |
