Dans le présent Podcast, notre Senior Fellow Uri Dadush apporte des éclairages nécessaires pour la compréhension des impacts que pourrait générer la guerre commerciale entre les Etats-Unis et la Chine.
Dans son analyse, l’économiste Dadush décline les trois dimensions que pourraient revêtir les effets de ce conflit commercial, en considérant que l’une d’elles aura un impact très négatif, en ce sens que c’est l’économie mondiale qui sera affectée.
Uri Dadush fait remarquer que ce conflit commercial, de même que les négociations bilatérales qui le ponctuent, se déroulent en dehors du cadre de l’Organisation Mondiale du Commerce (OMC). De ce fait, souligne-t-il, les Américains, tout autant que les Chinois, agissent dans l’illégalité, donnant un mauvais exemple pour le reste du monde.

    Struggling with slow growth, many countries (advanced and developing), have allowed their currencies to slide against the U.S. dollar. Until recently, China stood out in resisting this trend, and indeed had seen a large appreciation against the US dollar over several years. So many saw its abrupt change of course not only as signaling deep trouble in China but also as opening the door to a bout of destabilizing currency competition. These troubling developments raise two important q ...

    The Chinese stock markets have been recently affected by plummeting indexes and high volatility. The substantial level of “mom and pop” speculators has been identified as one of the reason for these dynamics. Although there is no speculative bubble at the moment, we may question the impact of potential excessive trading on the promising future of Chinese commodity exchanges. ...

    Pour une économie ouverte, l’analyse des échanges internationaux recèle une importance capitale pour analyser ses perspectives de croissance. Bien des décisions individuelles portant sur la consommation, l’épargne et l’investissement sont, en effet, liées aux termes de l’échange. L’évolution de ces derniers, définis comme le rapport entre les prix à l’exportation et ceux à l’importation, est considérée comme un indicateur du pouvoir d’achat d’un pays et constitue une variable fort ...

    1970s : Oil and wheat are strategic commodities, their prices are skyrocketing, Arab countries declare an oil boycott against the US and the US contemplates to retaliate with a grain embargo. Gulf countries are alarmed and look into a plan to develop Sudan as an Arab breadbasket.  This plan, however, unravels by the 1980s amidst political instability, misguided project designs and alleged corruption amongst the Sudanese (Nimeiri) regime. Instead, Saudi Arabia embarks on a subsidize ...

    Is Manufacturing Still a Key to Growth ?
    Authors
    Uri Dadush
    February 10, 2015
    Manufacturing is declining as a share of GDP not only in advanced countries, but in developing countries as well. This new trend, a result of complex forces, should be seen on balance as a reason for development-optimism, not pessimism. In the 21st century economy, manufacturing remains important, but poor countries can attract investment, grow rapidly and diversify away from agriculture on the basis of many possible sources of comparative advantage, without artificially promoting m ...

    “In my view, China’s very high rates of saving and of investment in infrastructure, plant and equipment, Rand D, and human capital should be seen more as a source of strength, than of weakness. There has, of course, been overinvestment in some sectors, such as heavy industry and housing in some regions, but China’s GDP and infrastructure stock per capita is still just a fraction of that of the most advanced countries, and the country’s potential to catch-up remains largely unexploit ...
