abstract: 'This paper compiles a systematic review of research papers that identify
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the effect of international trade and trade liberalization policies on
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
socio-economic targets linked to the sustainable development goals
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(SDGs). A comprehensive overview of the existing literature is provided,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
focusing on papers that identify causality and cov-ering topics that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
have not been systematically analyzed previously. While existing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
literature reviews have fo-cused on the effects of trade openness on
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
economic growth, its consequences for other social-and sustainable
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-related goals have received much less attention. We restrict the review
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to social-and sustainability-related SDGs and classify the empirical
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
findings in four categories. First, we analyze the extent to which trade
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
affects pov-erty (SDGs-1, 2, 8). The findings indicate that trade
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
increases average incomes in most cases and that trade re-forms that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
include the agricultural sector generally reduce poverty. Second, we
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
examine labor market outcomes and analyze how international trade
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
affects wages, unemployment, and informality (SDGs-1, 5, 8). We find
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that with more trade, employment and wages increase in the most dynamic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sectors, but decrease in others with increases in informality in some
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
developing countries. The third bloc documents papers that evaluate
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
whether trade is good or bad for environmental quality, evaluating how
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
trade reforms and increases in openness affect the environment at the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
macro and micro level (SDGs-3, 7, 11, 12, 15). The reviewed research
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
indicates that the effects of trade on environmental quality are complex
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and depend on the sectors that liberalize and the ex-istence of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
environmental standards linked to trade agreements. The fourth category
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
concerns the effect of trade flows on food security, hence questioning
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
whether opening the economies could contribute to better per-formance in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
SDG-2 and SDG-9. In this area, the literature is still incipient and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
deals mainly with correlations. More research is needed to better define
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the concept of food security and related indicators and to collect
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
better data. In summary, this systematic review should guide
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
policymakers in developing countries in the decision-making pro-cess
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
related to trade and industrial policies. The main recommendation is to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
consider the main findings when de-signing new trade policy strategies
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
concerning both unilateral trade liberalization and free trade
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

agreements negotiations.(c) 2022 Institution of Chemical Engineers.
