Seminar | 4/12/2021
At its core, the process of globalization has involved an expansion of international trade. Economists have emphasized the various benefits of trade, but an open issue is to what extent it affects the stability of our economies: does trade help cushion country- or region-specific “shocks”, or does it spread and amplify them?
