However, these are neither well targeted nor cost effective as a social protection tool, often benefiting mainly the better off instead of the poor and vulnerable. This paper explores the challenges of replacing generalized price subsidies with more equitable social safety net instruments, including the short-term inflationary effects, and describes the features of successful subsidy reforms. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Subsidies|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85129533|zMiddle East.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85090501-781 650 0 Subsidies|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85129533|zAfrica, North.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /subjects/sh85001631-781 650 7 Subsidies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1136736 651 7 Middle East.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1241586 651 7 North Africa.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1239515 655 4 Electronic books. 700 1 Zouhar, Younes.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no2012121903 700 1 Sdralevich, Carlo A. 700 1 Sab, Randa.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no2001011248 700 1 Albertin, Giorgia.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no2006093618 776 08 |iPrint Version:|aSdralevich, Carlo A.|tSubsidy Reform in the Middle East and North Africa : Recent Progress and Challenges Ahead.|dWashington, D.C. : International Monetary Fund, 2014.|z9781498350433 830 0 Departmental Papers / Policy Papers ;|vMiddle East and Central Asia Departmental Paper 14/3. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1039739|zOnline eBook via EBSCO.
