Abstract

The article provides estimates of the structure of nominal and effective tariffs and the tariff equivalents of a set of quantitative import restrictions for Burundi, a low‐income, data‐deficient developing country. It carefully indicates the assumptions and limitations of the analysis. The overall conclusion of the article is that not much significance can be attached to the estimates in a cardinal sense. Nevertheless, recommendations about altering the structure of relative incentives can be justified, where these are directed at increasing transparency and uniformity.
