Fridays Academy: Trade Policy and the Poor
Like every Friday, from Raj Nallari and Breda Griffith's lecture notes.
Although there exists a near-consensus among economists that trade liberalization strongly promotes growth and reduces poverty, concern about its ill effects has not abated among policymakers and the general public.
