Start Assignment

Your assignment will be a short write-up on your takeaways and reflections on the lecture and content.

Theme: why and how we trade, past, present, and your future.

Richard Baldwin's TEDx Talk (watch this first — the "pro"): Link (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHBoxRdd08o)

Discussion on Trade and Globalization. Take some notes as you watch the two videos.

A brief review of Ricardo's fundamental trade theory: I will use slides for this, nothing to read.

Further short reading (Baldwin) on globalization (optional, but highly recommended):

Blog : Link (https://voxeu.org/content/long-view-globalisation-short-part-1-5)

I do not believe he finished this series of blogs; instead, he focused on publishing his last book.

I will discuss these slides from Richard Baldwin: Baldwin Great Convergence slides (for posting).pdf (https://utah.instructure.com/courses/930430/files/160029441?wrap=1) (https://utah.instructure.com/courses/930430/files/160029441/download?download_frd=1)

More on trade theory. Depending on time, I may discuss this; otherwise, more background for you. (https://utah.instructure.com/courses/930430/files/160029440?wrap=1) (https://utah.instructure.com/courses/930430/files/160029440/download?download_frd=1)

• Globalisation was disruptive in G7 – Labour’s GDP-shares fell; Reward to knowledge rose.

• Globalisation was cohesive in emerging markets – Middle class flourished; 650 million rose out of poverty.

• Many developing nations de-industrialised “prematurely.”

• Nature of trade agreements changed – “Hyper-globalisation.”

BROADER PERSPECTIVE ON GLOBALISATION

Focus on 3 costs that form 3 constraints on globalisation

PRE-GLOBALISED WORLD

Production & consumption are “bundled” geographically; little trade

© Richard Baldwin 2016 The Great Convergence, Harvard University Press

PRE-GLOBALISED WORLD

Isolated production & high cost of communication meant slow growth

© Richard Baldwin 2016 The Great Convergence, Harvard University Press

PRE-GLOBALISED WORLD

Per GDP growth stagnated from year 1 to 1700

‘OLD GLOBALISATION’ STARTS

Low trade costs made high volume trade feasible; Comparative advantage made it profitable

© Richard Baldwin 2016

© Richard Baldwin 2016 The Great Convergence, Harvard University Press

OLD GLOBALISATION

As markets expanded globally, production clustered locally (to reduce communication costs, not trade costs)

© Richard Baldwin 2016

DISPERSED PRODUCTION

OLD GLOBALISATION

Micro-clustering fostered innovation & ignited bonfire of innovation & modern growth

OLD GLOBALISATION

Industrialisation: Virtuous cycle for North; Vicious cycle for South

© Richard Baldwin 2016 The Great Convergence, Harvard University Press

OLD GLOBALISATION

High communication costs meant G7 innovations stayed in G7 nations; Knowhow imbalances appeared

Revolution in information & communications technology (ICT) lowered the cost of moving ideas

ICT REVOLUTION LAUNCHES THE ‘NEW GLOBALISATION’

Lower communication costs made offshoring feasible; Vast wage differences made it profitable

© Richard Baldwin 2016

© Richard Baldwin 2016 The Great Convergence, Harvard University Press

NEW GLOBALISATION

To ensure offshored production meshed seamlessly, G7 firms offshored knowhow with the jobs

© Richard Baldwin 2016

KNOWLEDGE STAYS AT HOME

© Richard Baldwin 2016 The Great Convergence, Harvard University Press

NEW GLOBALISATION

The new ‘hi-tech-low-wage’ mix shifted manufacturing & knowhow massively to a handful of developing nations
