At the Committee on Trade and Environment (CTE) meeting held on 4 November, WTO members discussed proposals to foster more transparency and cooperation amid various carbon emission policies that may impact the flow of trade. Members also heard a report on the CTE sustainable agriculture thematic session held earlier this week.

WTO and IMF economists develop new indicator to measure global trade policy dynamics
WTO and IMF economists develop new indicator to measure global trade policy dynamics
Research in developing a new Trade Policy Activity (TPA) index by a group of WTO and IMF economists reveals a marked pick-up in trade policy activity from around 2019-2020, reflecting increased interventions in trade for a range of policy objectives. The change also corresponds to the period of the COVID-19 pandemic, heightened trade policy tensions among large economies, and rising geopolitical risks. Future development of the indicator can fill an important information gap by providing policymakers with an early alert of possible policy shifts.

El resultado es mixto

Sin duda, el modelo económico anterior era insostenible, lo que explica la victoria de Milei. Sin embargo, si bien su gobierno logró una estabilización a corto plazo y credibilidad internacional, la aceptación social de este programa sigue muy incierta.

Nice piece on the possibility of a coalition of the willing around heavy-industry carbon pricing, with quotes from my coauthor @cwolfram.bsky.social, a leader in this conversation.

We study how trade policy can reduce global emissions. Unilateral carbon border taxes have limited efficacy at cutting foreign emissions. By contrast, coordinated trade penalties under a climate club prove highly effective. buff.ly/NEE3Uy8
