    Many fear China's accession to the
    World Trade Organization (WTO) will impoverish its rural
    people by way of greater import competition in its
    agricultural markets. Anderson, Huang, and Ianchovichina
    explore that possibility bearing in mind that, even if
    producer prices of some (land-intensive) farm products fall,
    prices of other (labor-intensive) farm products could rise.
    Also, the removal of restrictions on exports of textiles and

    Data from China's national rural
    and urban household surveys are used to measure and explain
    the welfare impacts of changes in goods and factor prices
    attributable to accession to the World Trade Organization
    (WTO). The price changes are estimated separately using a

    This paper uses resource-based cereal
    equivalent measures to explore the evolution of China's
    demand and supply for food. Although demand for food
    calories is probably close to its peak level in China, the
    ongoing dietary shift to animal-based foods, induced by
    income growth, is likely to impose considerable pressure on
    agricultural resources. Estimating the relationship between
    income growth and food demand with data from a wide range of
