It is widely recognised among economists that globalization is an important driver of economic growth. Globalization does not only have winners but also losers and undesirable side-effects, however. In reality, we thus observe that globalization benefits have been increasingly questioned from various sides. Companies and employees, for example, are concerned about business relocations and increasing import competition driven by more highly integrated global value chains than ever. They fear a collapse of the industrial base, the outflow of technical knowledge, the threat to jobs, the income loss and growing income inequalities.  Many also fear a creeping erosion of high domestic standards for safety of consumption and environmental […]

The recent trade dispute, also observed at the G7 Summit last week, shows again how highly relevant and urgent it is to learn more about negative impact of globalization and to develop adequate policies and measures to deal with such impact. Imposing higher tariffs on imports may be an easy action to take. But protectionist measures cannot be the right solutions here. Protectionist measures hinder trade and investment across countries and leave parts of potential benefits of globalization unrealized[…]
