Abstract

As the international community works to eradicate extreme poverty, it is important to consider which vehicle -- aid or trade -- allows the developed world to most efficiently share its resources with those trapped in poverty. Whereas aid simply transfers resources from developed nations to those still developing, trade agreements provide poor, low-skilled workers with greater bargaining power over their own resources. Trade, therefore, is a more effective means of reducing poverty in the long term.
