Trade Policy Modelling
International trade typically has both costs and benefits. Copenhagen Economics specialises in the economic analysis of these impacts on the basis of practical experience, economic theory and empirical analysis.
We are accustomed to rigorous data work, we are strong within large-scale modelling, and we regularly complete “Extended Impact Assessments” that cover both the direct and the economy-wide impacts of trade policies. All results are supported by credible intuition, and we emphasise clear communication using direct, positive and policy-oriented language.
Trade in Services
Services account for more than 70 percent of GDP in the advanced economies, and yet only 20 percent of world trade. At the same time trade in services grows faster than trade in goods, and services trade is the major source of the gains from many free trade agreements between high-income countries.
Copenhagen Economics understand how trade in services work, and we have a long track-record for analysing trade in services. Much more needs to be done. However, we can help evaluate the impact of the removal of barriers to services trade, and advise for sound and welfare improving strategies.
Foreign Direct Investment
The strong increase in foreign direct investment (FDI) is one of the main drivers behind economic integration. FDI often has important spillover effects as productivity gains spread into other sectors and across regions.
Copenhagen Economics can help you analyse the impacts of FDI. Our expertises cover both an in-depth understanding of the current barriers to FDI and a framework to assess how they affect costs, prices and consumer welfare. We also excel in the complex interactions between FDI and trade policies.
Anti-dumping
Anti-dumping measures have become a common policy tool for trade protection of vulnerable industries. The associated economic effects include welfare impacts on producers, consumers and user industries.
Copenhagen Economics can help you analyse the economic impacts of anti-dumping policies. We have a unique capacity to quantify economic effects on prices, producers and consumer welfare. We excel in performing formal anti-dumping analyses based on applied modelling techniques and rigorous data work. As a result, we can provide unrivalled policy advice which equips decision makers to engage with complex anti-dumping cases. |
