Does openness reduce wage inequality in developing countries? A panel data analysis

• This paper provides panel data evidence on openness and wage inequality in Bangladesh. In particular, wage equations for skilled and unskilled workers were estimated using several static and dynamic models. The results from all the estimated models indicate that openness increased real wages of unskilled workers more than that of skilled workers, suggesting a reduction in wage inequality.
