Invitation to "Trade Wars between Protectionism and Power Politics" - Lecture with Prof. Dr. Gabriel Felbermayr

26/05/2025

Since the economic and financial crisis, protectionism has returned to foreign trade policy, and since the first Trump administration, so has power politics.

How can these phenomena be depicted in models of economic foreign trade theory? This is about tariffs and other trade barriers, but it is also about the fundamental objective of the measures - it is no longer positive-sum games that are played, but tournaments in which there are winners and losers. The lecture will show new approaches that extend old model approaches and present the empirical insights that have been gained in recent years.

We are pleased to invite you to an exciting lecture by Gabriel Felbermayr, the renowned economic researcher and head of WIFO.

When: Friday, June 6, 2025, 2 - 3.30 p.m.
