This paper compares an earlier assessment with a new set of estimates involving an interruption to East Asian economic growth in the late 1990s, using the global, economy-wide GTAP model. Attention focuses on results for Indonesia, the worst-affected country in the region. An important consequence of the crisis is that Indonesia is likely to become more agrarian for a time than it otherwise would have been. The estimated benefits to Indonesia from embracing further unilateral reform, as a way of catching up, are contrasted with the alternative strategy of reneging on Uruguay Round commitments to liberalize trade.Thanks are due to ACIAR for financial support.14 pagesapplication/pdfen-AU© WileyUruguay Roundmultilateraltradenegotiationsmedium-termeconomicgrowthEast AsiaGTAPIndonesia1999-0610.1111/1467-8381.00081
