OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Paola Conconi: Trade Protection Along Supply Chains (with Chad Bown, Aksel Erbahar, and Lorenzo Trimarchi)
Please note this seminar will be in the Skills Lab for Week 5 only.
During the last decades, the United States has applied increasingly high trade protec tion against China. We combine detailed information on US antidumping (AD) duties — the most widely used trade barrier — with US input-output data to study the effects of trade protection against China along supply chains. To deal with endogeneity con cerns, we propose a new instrument for AD duties, which combines exogenous variation in the political importance of industries across electoral terms with their historical ex perience in AD proceedings. We estimate the effects of protection on directly exposed and indirectly exposed (downstream and upstream) industries. We find that AD duties have a net negative impact on US jobs: they reduce employment growth in downstream industries, with no significant effects in protected and upstream industries. We pro vide evidence for the mechanisms behind the negative effects of protection along supply chains: AD duties decrease imports and raise prices in protected industries, increasing production costs in downstream industries.
