Trade And Growth

This paper explores the relationship between free trade and the rate of economic growth. It is argued that freeing trade has both a level effect and a growth effect. Most empirical studies ignore the growth effect and, therefore, considerably understate the beneficial effects of freeing trade. Progress towards free trade in the GATT/WTO era is far from complete. Regionalism has had a limited effect on freeing trade globally. The completion of the Doha Development Round is needed to restart trade as the engine of growth.
