Developing a general-equilibrium model in which the safety of a country's currency and the choice of its exchange-rate regime arise endogenously, from Tarek Alexander Hassan, Thomas M. Mertens, Jingye Wang, and Tony Zhang www.nber.org/papers/w34332
In this age of protectionist madness, it's time for a Nobel Prize awarded to the great pioneers of modern trade theory.
My prediction:
Elhanan Helpman, Samuel Kortum and Marc Melitz
for their contributions to our understanding of international trade.

Thank you! Good news on trade are sorely needed
So looking forward to our Global Ecoonomic Networks Workshop next week at Lake Como!
The exciting program is now availbale via:
sites.google.com/site/peterep...
The paper has been quite a journey with many important learnings for us along the way.
We have benefited substantially from valuable comments by editor Andrea Presbitero, several referees, Wihlem Kohler and many conference and seminar audiences.
Thank you!

But aren't their other potential explanations?
Yes, and we explore them in detail in our firm data.
We find no evidence that foreign-owned firms' superior distribution networks, more favorable evolution of input prices, or differential demand shocks played a relevant role.

Our rich micro data for Spain points to an important financial advantage of foreign ownership:
For small and financially vulnerable firms, foreign ownership made the biggest difference.
For them, accessing foreign capital markets via their multinational parent was crucial

The Global Financial Crisis dealt a major blow to world exports: The "Great Trade Collapse"
Yet, looking at Spain, we find that exports by foreign-owned firms dropped much less in the crisis (compared to domestic firms).
But why?

US economy expected to stall as policy changes weigh on growth
The US economy will slow sharply in 2025; tariffs & other US policy shifts dampen activity & fuel global uncertainty. Tariffs are raising prices, disrupting supply chains, eroding real incomes, & making it harder for businesses to plan. #PIIECharts
