In this study, developing countries and least developed countries are put into two groups: those that are members of the World Trade Organization and those that are not. The distribution of trade, foreign direct investment, and patenting is compared between the two groups. In most cases, no statistically significant differences in distribution could be found between members and non- members of the WTO.
