A Cesa-Bianchi, @apferrero.bsky.social @lucafornaro.bsky.social & M Wolf examine how industrial policies shape global imbalances. Countries negatively affected by those imbalances should include industrial and innovation policies as part of their policy toolkit. cepr.org/voxeu/column... #EconSky

Figure shows industrial policy, manufacturing employment, and TFP growth. Each bubble represents a country. The x-axis shows the average industrial policy intensity over the 2002-2019 period. The y-axis shows the change in manufacturing employment share (left panel) and the log change in TFP (right panel), on average, over the same period.

Industrial policies are a key feature of many countries running persistent trade surpluses. This column develops a framework to examine how industrial policies shape global imbalances and asks whether countries should worry about trade deficits, in the context of the ‘Second China Shock’ affecting mostly innovation-intensive high-tech sectors. The findings suggest that countries negatively affected by global imbalances should include industrial and innovation policies as part of their policy toolkit.

Nice illustration -- using Belgium beer -- of how complicated tariffs are becoming. It is not just about the level but the uncertainty of which rate applies.

Didn't expect the defining image of 2025 to turn up quite so quickly.

Blanchard predictions for coming years. His not too pessimistic forecast relies on Trump reneging of many of his proposals. Only area where I disagree is comparison to 2016. In 2016 stock market was cheaper than today and the global economy was still recovering - not today.
