Abstract
The role of tariffs, regulations and other protectionist policies is a prevalent and recurring topic in scholarly economic literature. However, the scope of most studies regarding the economic impact of trade and financial openness focuses mainly on data from the previous century, leading to the newest trends on this topic being relatively unexplored. In this research paper, I elaborate on how trade and capital openness correlate with annual real GDP per capita growth and gross inequality by performing an econometrical analysis on panel data from 180 countries between the years 2000 and 2021. Moreover, I also exemplify my findings through the elaboration of a time series analysis on Argentina as a case study.
