Trade, Trump and Brexit

Trade, Trump & Brexit, @swatdhingraLSE @MoniqueEbell @helene_rey @MESandbu Alan Winters @uk_tpo, #economicsfest  http://www.ideasfestival.co.uk/events/trade-trump-and-brexit/ …

So, will hard Brexit 'turbo-charge' our economy? @MoniqueEbell @NIESRorg, #economicsfest  https://www.niesr.ac.uk/blog/so-will-hard-brexit-turbo-charge-our-economy-part-i …

On trade, @swatdhingraLSE takes it back to Ricardo, and the need to share gains from trade #economicsfest

Chair @MESandbu points out (citing @AdamPosen) that pulling out of trade deals also causes losses and gains (especially losses) #economicsfest

Technological change is a brutal force, not to mention financial crisis and austerity - not clear we should be blaming globalisation, @helene_rey argues #economicsfest

Great to see such a diverse panel on Trade, Trump and Brexit #economicsfest

Post-Brexit UK trade policy: still just a wish list, @swatdhingraLSE @UKandEU #economicsfest #BrexitDamage  http://ukandeu.ac.uk/post-brexit-uk-trade-policy-still-just-a-wish-list …

Trump’s US is all about exporting - not at all about importing from UK, says Alan Winters @uk_tpo #economicsfest

The fundamental factors behind the Brexit vote. @voxeu, #economicsfest  http://voxeu.org/article/fundamental-factors-behind-brexit-vote …

Will any in the #economicsfest audience challenge the panel’s general gloom on protectionism? @MESandbu asks panellists to come up with positive actions

Brexit was a cry of financial pain and not the influence of the old, @voxeu #economicsfest  http://voxeu.org/article/brexit-cry-financial-pain-not-influence-old …

Stop ‘tax optimisation’ by multinationals is @helene_rey’s prescription #economicsfest

There’s no shortage of ideas to help the economy but who has the political will to implement them? asks @swatdhingraLSE #economicsfest

Every country gets a couple of things chronically wrong, and it’s housing in the UK, says @MoniqueEbell #economicsfest

The impact of different post-Brexit trading policies on the cost of living, Alan Winters et al @uk_tpo, #economicsfest  https://blogs.sussex.ac.uk/uktpo/2017/11/02/will-brexit-raise-the-cost-of-living/ …

#Economicsfest @MESandbu says he’s glad questions have got straight on to regulation because politicians only talk about the lesser issue of tariffs

Political debate is all about tariffs. But regulations are not often talked about, and actually are far more important when selling services, as UK does @MESandbu #economicsfest

Migrants are incredibly efficient at going to where there the economy is growing and wages are rising. #economicsfest

Left behind: can anyone save the towns the economy forgot? @sarahoconnor_ #economicsfest  https://www.ft.com/content/b6dbf34e-c987-11e7-aa33-c63fdc9b8c6c …

Another shout-out for Ricardo in his 200th anniversary year #economicsfest

#economicsfest the mobility of labour is not evenly distributed: someone from Krakow will move to Reading for a job, someone from Middlesbrough won’t. What policies will change this?

"Without a successful redistribution method, you can't even argue that trade is good for your country" @swatdhingraLSE #economicsfest

Now @MoniqueEbell on the Brexit threat to filming Game of Thrones in N Ireland #economicsfest

Economics field has decided Brexit is a self-inflicted wound - should there be less democracy to stop us from doing it again? #economicsfest

Negotiating Britain’s new trade policy, Alan Winters @voxeu, #economicsfest  http://voxeu.org/article/negotiating-britain-s-new-trade-policy …

Brexit wasn't a failure of democracy; it was a failure of debate @swatdhingraLSE #economicsfest

Are there financial risks to staying in the European Union? #economicsfest

“We’ve had commissions for 10 years on Heathrow expansion, yet we decided to leave EU in a day and without information” @FestivalofIdeas

#economicsfest FT version of my point “why can’t you move from Blackpool?”  https://www.ft.com/content/b6dbf34e-c987-11e7-aa33-c63fdc9b8c6c …

Brexit will harm horticulture, higher ed, finance, says Alan Winters. @helene_rey adds UK risks, soon, losing whole supply chains #economicsfest

Salvaging Brexit: @swatdhingraLSE on the right way to leave the EU @ForeignAffairs, #economicsfest  https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/united-kingdom/salvaging-brexit …

Not compared with the risks associated with Brexit, according to our panel.... #economicsfest

Local economic effects of Brexit, @swatdhingraLSE & colleagues, #economicsfest  http://cep.lse.ac.uk/brexit/abstract.asp?index=5518 …

At the Bristol #economicsfest - Trade, Trump and Brexit.

Questioner introduces himself as an ex-economist - I don think we allow that, do we? #economicsfest

@DianeCoyle1859 Recovering economist, perhaps? #economicsfest

#economicsfest How do we judge brexit in a 30 year perspective ? @FestivalofIdeas

#economicsfest last question - will govt water down labour laws after Brexit? But the previous session was Jean Tricole explaining that these laws make workers worse off wasn’t it?

#Economicsfest I’d ask the panel for wider perspective. Brexit will inevitably lead to Wexit (Wessex Exit from UK) if we continue this outdated system of letting _everyone_ vote.

@swatdhingraLSE has just ruled out a socialist utopia. #shame #economicsfest

#economicsfest continents are not the unit to consider - I agree with the #WEF that the future of economic strategy is cities
