Abstract

This paper uses a policy analysis matrix, PAM, to study the comparative advantage of rice production in comparison with two legume crops in northeastern Thailand. After explaining the structure of PAM and some relevant parameters useful for policy analysis, it demonstrates how PAM can be constructed most compactly and logically using empirical data. It then conducts some sensitivity analyses to study the effects of price changes and externality on the comparative advantage of rice against its competitive crops.
