"2020 Presidential Election and Trump's Wars on Trade and Health Insurance", with James Lake. European Journal of Political Economy (Published)
- While the trade war was a slaient electoral issue in the 2020 US Presidential election -- voters rewarded Trump for local protection and punished him for foreign retaliation -- the issue that really cost Trump was undermining the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare).
Working Papers
"International Trade, Technology Diffusion, and Cross-Country Income Differences" (JMP)
"Services Trade and FDI Affiliation: Theory and Empirical Evidence"
"International Trade, Technology Diffusion, and Cross-Country Income Differences" (JMP)
- In this paper, I propose a quantitative general equilibrium model that incorporates trade induced technology diffusion to examine the role of trade in contributing to income gap. The initial trade liberalization helps to smooth out technology gaps, while further trade liberalization reduces income gap through the traditional trade channel.
"Services Trade and FDI Affiliation: Theory and Empirical Evidence"
- Services trade has been expanding in recent years. In this paper, I argue that FDI affiliation has played an important role to link services and goods trade. Services export yield higher elasticity respect to goods import conditional on presence of home country subsidiary in host country.
