      abstract = {Theoretical and empirical literature on the impact of  trade openness on income inequality is inconclusive. The  inconsistent findings may be partly the result of biased  measures of income inequality and divergent data sources.  This paper improves upon the previous literature by  examining the impact of trade openness on income  inequality, using data from three major data sources: the  Standardized World Income Inequality Database (SWIID),  including disposable and market income; World Development  Indicators (WDI); and the University of Texas Inequality  Project (UTIP); as well as four Gini coefficients as  measures of inequality. We apply a two-step system GMM  estimation technique and the findings suggest a negative  relationship between trade openness and income inequality.  Based on the empirical results, we conclude that changing  the measure of inequality from different data sources does  not affect the empirical results related to the  trade-inequality relationship.},
