Trade liberalisation in 1960-2019 had a positive effect on growth for countries already exporting manufactured goods (>50% share in exports), but negative for countries which were exporting commodities at the time of liberalisation.

Fascinating paper on where 6000 global elites went to college. Billionaires, CEOs, heads of state, central bankers, etc.

In a word: Harvard.

Fully 10% of global elites went to Harvard. Elite US schools are over-represented (23% IvyPlus), but nobody comes close to Harvard.

In today’s edition of papers I wish I had written: this North-South model of innovation, imitation, and FDI. Key insight: tariffs in the North reduce innovation, while tariffs in the South have the opposite effect. Very nice work! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
Tariffs and Foreign Direct Investment in a Dynamic North–South Model
This paper examines how import tariffs by a developed country (the North) and a developing country (the South) affect innovation and foreign direct investment (FDI) using a quality ladder model. We s....
