After several decades of increasing global economic integration, the world is facing risk policy-driven geoeconomic fragmentation (GEF). This note explores ramifications. It identifies multiple channels through which benefits globalization were earlier transmitted, and along which, conversely, costs GEF are likely to fall, including trade, migration, capital flows, technology diffusion provision public goods. consequences for international monetary system financial safety net. Finally, it...
Abstract This paper introduces the New Industrial Policy Observatory (NIPO) data set and documents emergent patterns of policy intervention during 2023 associated with return industrial policy. The show that recent wave new activity is primarily driven by advanced economies subsidies are most employed instrument.

Abstract This paper investigates the impact of global value chain (GVC) participation on productivity. It uses data trade in value‐added from World Input‐Output Database. The results based a panel estimation covering 13 sectors 40 countries over 15 years suggest that GVCs is significant driver labour Backward GVCs, is, use imported inputs to produce for exports, emerges as particularly important.

Serverless computing enables greater flexibility and efficiency in the cloud-to-edge continuum. Artificial Intelligence Machine Learning (AI/ML) applications benefit greatly from this paradigm, as they need to gather, preprocess, aggregate analyze data at various scales. In such contexts, increasing hardware/software resource availability of Internet Things (IoT) devices provides opportunity exploit them not only sources AI/ML infrastructures, but also computational nodes for model training...
Abstract This paper focuses on the sluggish growth of world trade relative to income in recent years. We use a simple empirical strategy based an error correction model assess whether global slowdown is structural or cyclical. An estimate relationship between and past four decades reveals that long-term elasticity rose sharply 1990s, but declined significantly 2000s, even before financial crisis. These results suggest growing slowly not only because slow GDP growth, also change trade-GDP The...
