It explores how different levels of trade openness affect inequality, with an emphasis on identifying threshold effects. Using a dynamic panel threshold estimation technique, the analysis reveals a U-shaped relationship: trade openness reduces inequality up to a critical threshold of 50.877%, beyond which further liberalisation exacerbates inequality. The JKS panel causality test indicates a unidirectional causal relationship from trade openness to income inequality. These findings highlight the need for calibrated trade policies in BRICS nations. Promoting trade openness up to the identified threshold may reduce inequality, but liberalisation beyond this point should be accompanied by redistributive and institutional measures to mitigate adverse distributional outcomes. 2025 Indian Institute of Foreign Trade Subject The topic of the resource C23; C33; D31; F14; income inequality; panel causality test; panel threshold estimation; Trade openness Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Sage Publications India Pvt.
