• Trade openness, income levels, and economic growth: The case of developing countries, 1970–2009 (2015, background): “…Squalli and Wilson (2011) propose a new indicator, the ‘composite trade shares (CTS)’ measure, capturing the two dimensions (‘an open economy must trade heavily and must be a substantial contributor to world trade’ [Squalli and Wilson 2011, 1747]) the authors believe better describe trade openness.”
