Abstract
This paper uses recently available data to investigate the link between inc ome inequality and trade protection. It finds that among less developed cou ntries, more open economies experienced increased income inequality during the late 1980s. Trade policy has had no effect on income inequality in deve loped countries. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. AU rights reserved.
