摘要:This paper addresses the mechanisms by which trade openness aects growth volatility. Using a diverse set of export concentration measures, we present strong evidence pointing to an important role for export diversication in conditioning the eect of trade openness on growth volatility. Indeed, the eect of openness on volatility is shown to be negative for a signicant proportion of countries with relatively diversied export baskets.
