Promised US assistance appears aimed at helping keep Argentine peso's value within a specified range

Even concrete US interventions are unlikely to save Argentina's peso for long unless they go further than so far promised—though it might give Milei a rickety bridge through the October election without an embarrassing devaluation.

180. The WTO is in trouble. Econ 101 to the rescue? How understanding the WTO’s past can help foster its revival – including for policy challenges like climate and China’s non-market economy.

The WTO has named Robert Staiger as its new Chief Economist.

Here is my @trade--talks.bsky.social podcast conversation in 2023 with Bob where he shared his thoughts about the WTO.

Something similar happened to me today in my class in Madrid. Most of my undergrad business students were familiar with Charlie Kirk; I hadn´t heard of him before.

What happened is terrible, and we took the opportunity to reflect on how bad political violence is nowadays.

Let’s not lose sight of the big picture. Appeasement won’t work. Instead of rushing to minimize short-term costs, we should stick to WTO principles and pursue a coordinated, proportional, multi-country retaliatory response against rule-breakers

Had a fantastic time at this conference! Plenty of insightful conversations with brilliant colleagues on China in the global economy. Looking forward to next time.

And thank you for the great photos!

Your Next Lawn Chair Is Coming From Vietnam, but It’s Still Kind of Chinese China’s manufacturers are pushing across the border to dodge higher tariffs, potentially undermining Trump’s goal of reducing U.S. dependence on Beijing.

Chinese furniture manufacturers set up new factories in Vietnam to export to the US, avoiding higher tariffs on China. Highly related to my work on Chinese solar panel manufacturers and their reaction to the 2012 solar trade war papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

As Trump pushes Apple to make iPhones in the U.S., Google's brief effort building smartphones in Texas 12 years ago offers critical lessons Motorola's failed bet on assembling phones in the U.S. offers important lessons for Apple today.

Super interesting piece about an earlier attempt at a US-made smartphone

Las políticas industriales deben tener en cuenta esta realidad, no sólo en Estados Unidos, sino en todos los países que se encuentran redefiniendo su estrategia de inserción internacional ante un escenario global cargado de volatilidad e incertidumbre.

Al hacerlo, reconfiguran los patrones de inversión y producción globales, disminuyendo el impacto de las políticas diseñadas para frenarlas.

Este caso ilumina algunas de las respuestas de las empresas multinacionales que no se quedan de brazos cruzados ante el proteccionismo, sino que redirigen las inversiones, ajustan sus estrategias y siguen compitiendo en el mercado internacional.

Este desvío de IED consiste en un cambio en el patrón de inversión que involucra nuevas fábricas e instalaciones en países del sudeste asiático que luego se vuelven exportadores de paneles solares a Estados Unidos.

#EconSky #TradePolicy #Economists #EconReporters

Ademá de la ya conocida desviación del comercio, en mi trabajo muestro que también se generó lo que llamo “desviación de Inversión Extranjera Directa” (IED).

#EconSky #TradePolicy #Economists #EconReporters

En lugar de replegarse, las empresas chinas más expuestas a esta política comercial de Estados Unidos encontraron soluciones alternativas.
