Selected Developmental Aspects of Trade and Trade Policies

The European Commission requested a literature review on the findings of empirical and theoretical research relating to various aspects of the link between trade, inclusive growth and poverty reduction. This study contributed to the process of elaboration of the Commission's newly adopted Communications on Development Policy ("Agenda for Change"), as well on "Trade, Growth & Development: tailoring trade and investment policy for those countries most in need". A summary of it was part of the Staff Working Document attached to this communication.
