Our results Suggest that trade with high income countries worsen income distribution it) DCs, through both imports and exports, These findings provide Support to the hypothesis that technological differentials and the skill biased nature of new technologies may be important factors in shaping the distributive effects of trade. Moreover, we observe that the previous results only hold For middle-income countries (MICs) we intcrpret this evidence by considering the grater potential for technological upgrading in MIC's.
