Abstract
This study investigates the comparative impact of trade liberalization policies on economic growth through a mixed-methods design integrating econometric modeling and qualitative case analysis. Panel data results reveal that trade openness, measured through indices of tariff reduction, foreign direct investment inflows, and export diversification, is positively associated with GDP growth and productivity. Advanced econometric techniques, including fixed effects, vector autoregression, and generalized method of moments estimations, demonstrate robust causal linkages, with the strongest effects observed when liberalization targeted intermediate and capital goods. Case study evidence further confirms that sequencing, institutional quality, and regional integration critically mediate the effectiveness of reforms. The findings highlight that liberalization not only promotes economic expansion but also contributes to structural transformation through diversification and technological spillovers. Nonetheless, the analysis shows that without supporting policies, liberalization can exacerbate inequality and increase vulnerability to global shocks. Visual and tabular results underscore that countries embedding openness within inclusive policy frameworks capture greater benefits and display stronger resilience. The study contributes to the policy debate by affirming that trade liberalization is a conditional yet powerful driver of growth, requiring carefully designed strategies aligned with institutional and developmental contexts.
