"Economic multipliers for Tanzania: implications on developing poverty reduction programs" by Kaliba, Aloyce Abstract Economic multipliers analysis results provide useful information to policy makers with a simple way to estimate potential impact of new policies. In this study, an economic multiplier model of Tanzania was estimated from an updated 2004 social accounting matrix. Results indicate that agro-processing industries have the highest economic multiplier (>3). Sectors with the lowest economic multipliers included export-oriented agricultural sectors. Low economic multipliers were associated with lack of backward and forward linkages within the economy. Poverty reduction in Tanzania can be achieved by focusing more on value adding and producing commodities that target the domestic market. This will generate more economic impact than focusing on exporting and importing raw materials. |
