Trade Liberalization and Growth: New Evidence (2008, unknown): “Wacziarg and Wallack (2004) show that the Sachs-Warner liberalization dates are good indicators of the timing of major trade policy changes by thoroughly checking these dates against the case study literature of trade liberalization in 25 developing countries.”
