| Abstract: | Openness and trade liberalisation have been a major component of conventional economic policy advice for the last fifteen years. There is widespread acceptance that in the long run open economies fare better in aggregate than do closed ones, and that relatively open policies contribute to long-ran development. Many commentators fear, however, that in the shorter run trade liberalisation puts great stress on certain actors in the economy and that even in the longer run successful open regimes may leave some behind in poverty. Others additionally argue that being open exposes an economy to shocks that generate uncertainty. This paper attempts to take these concerns seriously; it asks how a developing country's own trade liberalisation could translate into increased poverty. |
