Abstract
The
paper examines the effect of trade liberalisation on poverty incidence for
Ghana for the period 1960-2013. The estimation methods are the Johansen test,
Vector Error Correction (VECM) test, and the Ordinary Least Square (OLS). The findings
of the study suggest that poverty incidence is negatively related to trade
liberalisation in the long-run and short-run. The implication of the finding is
that poverty incidence is reducing with trade liberalisation. Future studies
should consider the current topic in a multivariate modelling
