It started by chatting with Anke 15y ago (!) on how governments may negotiate treaties not because of spillovers, but to tie hands of future governments
=>
(a) coalitions can be larger
(b) we provide a unique theory of "conventions"
(c) the Paris Agreement won't unravel even if US withdraws🙂

Paper shows that political incumbents may want to sign treaties that tie the hands of their successors. Thus, by offering commitment, a treaty can exploit domestic time inconsistency problems.
The theory predicts that countries may want to remain in the Paris Agreement even if the US withdraws.

What happened when the U.S. forcibly sent 400,000 Mexican workers back to Mexico in the 1930s?
The employment rate of native workers *went down* noticeably as a direct result. (You read that correctly)
Why?
Forced repatriation destroyed low-skill markets.
