International trade regulation and job creation
journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-10, 00:02 authored by Mattia Di UbaldoMattia Di Ubaldo, L. Alan WintersL. Alan WintersTrade regulation can create jobs in the sectors it protects or promotes, but almost always at the expense of destroying a roughly equivalent number of jobs elsewhere in the economy. At a product-specific or micro level and in the short term, controlling trade could reduce the offending imports and save jobs, but for the economy as a whole and in the long term, this has neither theoretical support nor evidence in its favor. Given that protection may have other—usually adverse—effects, understanding the difficulties in using it to manage employment is important for economic policy.
