Description The paper first summarizes the theoretical and empirical literature on the growth and income inequality impact of the liberalization of trade, FDI, portfolio flows, and migration over 1980-2000.

The paper argues that the latter region recorded growth rates of GDP broadly slightly higher than those of Latin America, but experienced greater growth instability and a rise in income inequality. The paper suggests that such divergent performance is explained by differences in policies
