OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Sanjaya Lall Fund Panel 2023: "Green Industrial Policy: Saving the World without a Trade War"
Lead Speaker Professor Joe Stiglitz; Panellist Professor Lord Stern; Panellist Michael Liebreich
The US has adopted two major industrial policy programs, one subsidizing green industry, the other chip and other high-tech industries. In doing so, it seemingly paid little if any attention to WTO rules, and Europe rightly was more than a little concerned. There appears to be the threat either of a trade war, or of Europe matching the US subsidies, further eroding the international rules-based system and putting developing countries at a disadvantage. So, too, Europe is discussing whether to impose cross-border tariffs on countries where production is insufficiently “green.” This panel will explore whether we can find a way of saving the planet without a trade war. Is a new global trade framework required, and if so, what might it look like? Is it possible politically to get there? And if not, then what?
