Abstract

This article investigates the impact of trade liberalization on income inequality across different countries. By analyzing data from both developed and developing nations, the research identifies patterns and outcomes of trade policies on income distribution. The findings highlight that while trade liberalization can lead to economic growth, it may also exacerbate income inequality if not coupled with appropriate policy measures. The study underscores the importance of inclusive policies in international trade agreements.
