Resilience to Deglobalisation
This article discusses how world (agricultural) trade fared in an episode of deglobalisation of 15 years. Through the lenses of world trade and production, no return is apparent to the pattern of increasing globalisation that was dominant in the post‐second world war period up till the Great Recession. Paradoxically, however, world trade has been resilient to major trade shocks, including those related to the Financial Crisis, the COVID‐19 pandem…
Pandonomics: Why Economics was Unprepared for Covid-19-Policies
Despite clear warnings from scientists and a long history of pandemics, the economics profession was largely unprepared for COVID-19 and especially the drastic policy responses it triggered. While the risk of pandemics had been quantified – with estimated global annual costs of up to $500 billion – this knowledge was not integrated into mainstream economic thinking, modelling, or policy planning. Economists underestimated the sweeping public heal…
Deglobalization and Resilience: A Historical Perspective
The paper employs a multimethod approach to investigate shifts from globalization to deglobalization, presenting a novel economic theory grounded in recent data. It identifies two mechanisms driving structural deglobalization: escalating costs and diminishing benefits at the national level, hindering redistribution efforts and the challenge to sustain global public goods due to waning economic hegemony. The analysis integrates perspectives from i…
Winds from the East: Ignored ancient Asian views on international trade and traders
This article addresses the issue that the history of economic thought on international trade is dominated by a Western perspective and sets a first step to decolonise economic thinking by discussing the position of merchants and their commercial activities across the five major philosophies of life in ancient Asia – Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Chinese Legalism, and Islam. We find significant dissimilarities in the appreciation and perceptio…
Deglobalization: Three Scenarios
The trade developments of the first quarter of the 21st century prompt speculation on how future generations will perceive them. Will they interpret this era as one where deglobalization took root and flourished, marked by a slowdown in world trade? Or will they view it as a mere pause in globalization’s upward trajectory? The literature explores these possibilities, noting the impact of events like the Financial Crisis, COVID-19 lockdowns and th…

Observing FDI spillover transmission channels: Evidence from firms in Uganda
We observe and analyse three intra-industry foreign direct investment \n(FDI) spillover transmission channels using unique firm-level data collected from on-site interviews and observations regarding domestic \nand foreign firms operating in Uganda in 2015. Our main results are: (1) \nthe spillover effects mainly depend on the channel(s) by which they \noccur (the competition channel is most important while spillover benefits through the worker m…
Heterogeneity and Geography of the World Trade Collapses of the 1930s and 2000s
This paper analyses drivers of imports during the major world trade collapses of the Great Depression (1930s; 34 countries) and the Great Recession (2000s; 173 countries). The dependent variable is the peak to trough distance of the volume of imports in the first year and 3‐year‐period of these episodes, respectively. The paper develops a succinct empirical model that shows a significant impact of the peak to peak distance of GDP, the share of ma…
The Proliferation of Developing Country Classifications
We study the external and internal proliferation of country classifications in development policy. The number of classifications increased from four (1985) to 17 (2013) when the average in our sample of 111 developing countries exceeded three classifications per country. Based on historical overview and comparative case study for land-locked development countries and small-island development states (geographically defined classifications without …
On the brink of deglobalisation…again
This article provides an empirical analysis of the disruption of (neo)classical/liberal globalisation during the Great Depression and the Great Recession, identifying challenges to existing knowledges and approaches, in particular the mainstream analysis that studied the Great Recession in isolation, treating it as a special case and ignoring political covariates of deglobalisation processes. The econometric analysis (an unbalanced panel of 31 co…

Methodological Change and Bias in Economic Sanction Reconsidered
We investigate the influence of case selection and (re)coding for two vintages of a key resource for research on economic sanctions: the Peterson Institute data base reported in Hufbauer et al. (2nd edition in 1990 and 3rd edition in 2007). The Peterson Institute has not reported transparently about these changes that make it more likely to find sanction success. A multivariate probit analysis establishes upward bias related to modest policy chan…
Biased Sanctions? Methodological Change in Economic Sanctions Reconsidered and Its Implications
We investigate the influence of case selection and (re)coding for two vintages of a key resource for research on economic sanctions: the Peterson Institute database reported in Hufbauer et al. (second edition in 1990 and third edition in 2007, often identified by their abbreviations HSE and HSEO). The Peterson Institute has not transparently reported about these changes. These changes make it more likely to find sanction success. A multivariate p…
Natural disasters' impact, factors of resilience and development: A meta-analysis of the macroeconomic literature
Potential early phase success and ultimate failure of economic sanctions: A VAR approach with an application to Iran
In order to explain why successes of economic sanctions predominantly occur in the first two years of a sanction episode, we analyse the dynamic economic and political impact of an economic sanction. Our theoretical analysis of the dynamics of adjustment gives us two important results: firstly, the strongest impact in terms of utility forgone occurs in the initial phase of the sanction episode and, secondly, the long-term gain of compliance decre…
The Economic Effectiveness of Diplomatic Representation: An Economic Analysis of its Contribution to Bilateral Trade
This article empirically investigates the contribution of different forms of diplomatic representation to the bilateral trade flows (both exports and imports) of a group of 63 countries. The authors report on the construction of a data set that covers 10,524 diplomatic representations. They use these representations as one of the explanatory variables in an applied trade model (the gravity model) for 3,730 bilateral trade flows in order to measur…

Economic diplomacy, trade and developing countries
This article analyses the impact of economic diplomacy on the geography of international trade for the year 2006 and 63 importing and exporting countries. We demonstrate that diplomatic representation via embassies and consulates is not a relevant trade-enhancing factor for trade within the OECD, but that it is significant in bilateral trade relationships of developing countries. We discuss implications for developing countries especially in view…
The determinants of developing countries’ access to the international capital market
The traditional analysis of Western credit relations with Developing Countries mainly focuses on the possibilities of debtor countries’ meeting their debt obligations and tries to find factors behind possible default. The present study explicitly considers flows of funds between creditors and debtors and investigates the determinants of developing countries’ access to the international capital market. A combination of GDP per capita, net‐debt‐to‐…
