    The Protectionist’s Progress: Year 1
    Authors

    December 5, 2017
    President Trump’s actions on trade have not quite matched his rhetoric, but the worst may be to come. Though the political opposition to his protectionism is formidable, so are his conviction and determination and he possesses a wide array of instruments to pursue his goals. The trade doctrine he has espoused makes for trade policy instability both at home and abroad. It may lead to a large deterioration in the operating environment of international business. America’s tradedependen ...

While such an ambitious goal will clearly involve a wide range of policies and actors, this policy brief focuses on the role of trade policies in affecting food and nutrition security. Extensive and frequently contentious, debate swirls about whether trade in agricultural products is beneficial or detrimental for food security, pa ...

    Jobs in the Middle East North Africa, and the Moroccan case
    Authors
    Uri Dadush
    November 30, 2017
    The jobs markets across the Middle East North Africa region vary greatly, with some oil-rich countries importers of labor while others, including Morocco, are the source of emigrants. Morocco exhibits structural underemployment despite having grown quite rapidly. The reasons for Morocco’s job-poor growth run deep. Policies can mitigate the problem but are unlikely to solve it in the foreseeable future. ...

    After many decades of expansion, incomes and standards of living have never been better in many parts of the world. Yet, global trade and the prospects of growth still seem uncertain, and protectionism seems to be on the rise. In developed countries, there is anxiety over the loss of the manufacturing jobs that once absorbed a large share of the labor force and created a middle class that formed the core of democracy. Most middle-income countries have not yet been able to make the t ...

    Current technological developments in manufacturing are likely to lead to a partial reversal of the wave of fragmentation and global value chains that was at the core of the rise of North-South trade from 1990 onwards. At the same time, China – the main hub of the global-growth-cum-structural-change of that period - may attempt to extend the previous wave through its “One Belt, One Road” initiative. ...

    لقد حققت معدلات الدخل ومستويات العيش تحسناً غير مسبوق في العديد من مناطق العالم، وذلك بعد أن عرفت ارتفاعاً مطرداً على مدى عقود متتالية. بيد أن آفاق التجارة العالمية والنمو الاقتصادي ما تزال محفوفة بالغموض، كما يبدو أن النزعة الحمئية سائرة في تزايد مستمر. ففي الدول المتقدمة، هناك قلق ناجم عن فقدان الوظائف التصنيعية التي شغَّلت فيما مضى فئة كبيرة من العمالة، وخلقت طبقة متوسطة شكلت نواة الديمقراطية في هذه الدول. هذا ولم تنجح معظم الدول ذات الدخل المتوسط في اللَّحاق بنظيرتها العالية الد ...

    November 16, 2017
    The purpose of this paper is to propose the establishment of a forward-looking partnership between China and Morocco, centered around the agri-food issue in Africa. It is in Africa that the food demand will increase in a very significant way during the 21st century due, in particular, to population growth and the acceleration of urban development. Africa must succeed in its agricultural revolution in order to fight hunger and poverty, ensure the industrialization of its economy and ...

    Authors

    November 9, 2017
    This paper sheds light on the increasing and persistent skilled unemployment in Morocco over the past decade – oscillating around 20% of total unemployment. It identifies and estimates the role and significance of a skill mismatch between Morocco’s education system and its labor market, illustrated by the ratio between technical and general university degrees produced by the education system. The paper finds supporting evidence that a skill mismatch does play a significant role in e ...
