UCD-CEPR-CBI Trade-History Workshop: ‘’Uncertain Tides: The Past and Present of Trade Policy”
Dublin, 20 June 2025
The Central Bank of Ireland, CEPR
and UCD are pleased to announce the Trade-History Workshop ’Uncertain Tides:
The Past and Present of Trade Policy’, to be held at the Central Bank of
Ireland in Dublin, on Friday 20 June 2025.
The aggressive and widespread use
of trade policy measures had become less prominent in the increasingly
globalised world of the last few decades. As such the opportunities to study
the impacts of trade policy changes have been relatively limited. History,
however, offers additional opportunities to assess the impact of trade policy,
and in particular to discover how trade policy works in different contexts.
With trade wars and trade sanctions reappearing as a part of doing
international business, this workshop will bring together researchers at the
intersection of international trade and economic history, exploring
perspectives from both modern and historical contexts.
Keynote speakers will be Prof. Kevin O’Rourke (Sciences Po) and Prof. Karen Helene Ulltveit-Moe
