Abstract
This article analyzes the effects of trade liberalization on the economic growth, facing on variables like trade, level of secondary school enrolment, gross capital formation and population in the growth model. Trade liberalization in developing countries over the last 20 years has often been implemented with the expectation of growth being stimulated; yet the evidence on its growth enhancing effects is mixed.  Using a panel framework, the article finds that liberalization does appear to have a positive impact upon growth, albeit with a lag. For estimation we chose a sample and findings are robust to changes in specification, sample size and data period
