Building on recent analyses of the Doha Development Agenda and agricultural trade, this report, this report primarily differs from earlier ones in that it includes consideration of the July Framework Agreement completed in 2004 and is able to take advantage of the new version of Purdue U.'s Global Trade Analysis Project database. Among the topics addressed by the 12 papers presented by the editors (lead economists with the Development Research Group, World Bank) are the potential implications of agricultural trade reform, institutional arrangements for special and differential treatments for developing countries in the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade/World Trade Organization, the potential impact of the July Framework's tiered market access formula approach, tariff rate quotas, the implications of tariff preferences, the elimination of agricultural export subsidies, the structure and measurement of domestic support limits, likely required aggregate measure of support reductions, the Cotton Initiative in the Doha Agenda, and government means of reform in the face of domestic opposition
