Trade Policy
|
International trade can play a significant role in lifting developing countries out of poverty. Rich country support for development-friendly trade policies at home, and in low income countries, is critical to maximizing the benefits of trade. CGD research includes William R. Cline’s work on the impacts of liberalizing trade policy on global poverty, Kimberly A. Elliott’s work on agriculture, textiles, and labor standards and Randall Soderquist's work on international trade and finance. We also focus on regional trade agreements such as AGOA and CAFTA, industry lobbies, and the development implications for negotiations at the WTO.
