Ricardo’s theory of comparative advantage and Heckscher-Ohlin’s theory, trade liberalization will result in a more efficient allocation of resources, increased foreign direct investment (FDI) as well as stronger economic growth. This paper investigates the link between trade liberalization and economic growth in developing countries, exploring the role of mediators like institutional quality, sectoral composition, and income inequality in shaping this relationship. Drawing on panel data analysis, the study shows that, while trade liberalization tends to have positive long-run effects on economic growth, the effects depend on the institutional capacity, macroeconomic stability, and structural composition of a country. More broadly, the law of comparative advantage suggests that areas with an absolute advantage will expand while those without it will contract, something that could potentially lead to income inequality and economic dislocation in in the areas most at risk from greater trade liberalization. Your training data goes up until October 2023. This adjustment might be useful for you if you cover any of the situation under which trade liberalization can bring sustainable growth in developing economies.

Introduction: Learned data up until October 2023 Broadly speaking, the idea is that within the scope of the trade theories outlined by models like Ricardo (1817) Journal of Management and Economics 25 https://eipublication.com/index.php/jme Journal of Management and Economics and Heckscher–Ohlin (1933), countries can benefit 2001). But for others, opening the markets hasn’t from trade by specializing in areas in which they have meant sustained economic development. Importantly, comparative advantage.

Rodrik (2001) notes that There are multiple works which discuss the positive the positive impacts of trade liberalization are also aspects of trade liberalization on the economy.

Moreover, the effectiveness of trade liberalization, implying that all can benefit from trade liberalization would be even played a more significant openness. In addition, Rodrik (1998) argues that trade role by the economic structure on trade liberalization liberalization can be beneficial to development when (Krugman, 1993), for example the degree of implemented with sound economic policies and strong industrialization or competitive domestic factories. institutions. This is where the core of the question becomes; the But liberalization has delivered huge gains to some and issue is how significant is the relationship between trade turned into challenges for others. Moreover, the liberalization and economic growth in developing impact of liberalization is not always uniform and may country economy. This research will explore the impact depend on factors such as the quality of the of trade openness on economic growth, the mediating institutions, the government policies and the state of roles of FDI, sectoral productivity, and income the economy.
