Innovation and Trade Policy in a Globalized World
Federal Reserve Board, 2018
What's inside?
Trade tensions will have significant, long-term effects on global innovation and economic growth.
Recommendation
One point that most economists agree on is that free trade produces long-term benefits for the global economy. In the current geopolitical environment, however, the United States is locked in trade disputes with China, the European Union and others. Economists Ufuk Akcigit, Sina T. Ates and Giammario Impullitti examine the relative efficacy of using tariffs or strategic incentives to bolster nations’ competitive advantage. Policy experts and executives interested in a thorough analysis of this economic carrot-and-stick approach will find important insights in this report.
