Abstract

The distributional consequences of trade reforms have attracted greater attention in recent decades due to the fact that most countries experienced an increase in inequality during the post-reforms period. This paper attempts to review some selected studies covering both theory and recent empirical research. There are some emerging evidence that trade reforms have improved wage distribution though the majority of studies concludes that the reforms have worsened wage inequality in many countries.
