Australian Economic Papers, 2025, vol. 64, issue 3, 380-385

Abstract: This note investigates empirically the effect of membership in the GATT/WTO on trade policy and income inequality in developing countries. The analysis has shown that GATT/WTO membership is associated with trade policy liberalization and lower income inequality, although the magnitudes of these effects vary across groups of countries.
