Abstract
This paper seeks to answer if wage subsidy to workers displaced due to trade reform raises welfare in a developing country. We use a general equilibrium model with non-specific factor inputs and trade liberalization as a policy variable. A combination of wage subsidy and tariff rate obtains the second-best welfare level. The theoretical result is new, policy-relevant and important in view of political-economy aspects of free trade in developing and transition countries.
