Countries are increasingly turning to non-tariff barriers that are hard to measure and often illegal under WTO rules. What are the impacts of these policies, and what do they reveal about market power in international trade? We study a comprehensive system of discretionary import licenses imposed by Argentina, where we observe the universe of transaction-level requests and approval decisions...

Brown Bag Seminar Industrial Economics
Previous studies have found evidence that countries may choose to retaliate against countries for certain trade actions. What has not been empirically examined is the use of multi-modal retaliation in trade policy. Using an exporter-importer-sector panel of antidumping (AD), sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS), and technical barriers to trade (TBT) actions between 1995 and 2019, we find evidence of...

This paper examines the impact of sanctions on the structure of regional supply chains, focusing on Venezuela's suspension from the Mercosur trade bloc in 2016.

Our findings reveal how buyer-supplier linkages adapted to the shock along...
