Dr. Joaquín Blaum
Department of Economics, Boston University, USA

Speech topic: Introduction to International Trade: Perspectives on Recent Trade Policy and Challenges to the WTO

Joaquín Blaum’s areas of research are international trade and macroeconomics. His work focuses on how heterogeneity matters for macroeconomic outcomes. Joaquin’s recent research studies how sourcing of foreign inputs affects firm and aggregate productivity. In ongoing work, he shows that the interdependence between firms’ import and export behavior is key to understanding how economies adjust to large devaluations. In earlier work, Joaquin studied the effects of wealth inequality on aggregate productivity when financial markets function imperfectly.
