In the context of economic liberalization, hypotheses cover various effects on state budgets, international accounts, economic growth, and socioeconomic and political outcomes. This structured approach offers a clear and accessible overview of the current state of knowledge in these fields, inviting readers to delve deeper into the specific hypotheses and their implications.
