Traders' dilemma: Developing countries' response to trade wars
As the United States engages in a trade war with its major trading partners, policymakers in developing countries face the ‘traders’ dilemma’: should they join the trade war, stay out or do something different, including continuing to pursue regional trading arrangements?

Wage Subsidy and Labour Market Flexibility in South Africa
We use a general equilibrium model to analyse the employment effects and fiscal cost of a wage subsidy in South Africa. We capture the structural characteristics of the labour market with several labour categories and substitution possibilities, linking the economy-wide results to a micro-simulation model with occupational choice probabilities to investigate the poverty and distributional consequences. The employment impact depends greatly on the…

NAFTA also has had little effect on the U.S. labor market. These results confirm the consensus opinion of economist…
