The post-Covid period has sparked a reassessment of the risks & benefits of globalization, but how have multinationals actually adapted? The latest Lettre @cepii-paris.bsky.social is about our WP "Multinationals Here and There: Affiliates' Response to Global Crises" www.cepii.fr/PDF_PUB/wp/2... 👇

🆕 Lettre du CEPII "Multinational Enterprises Since Covid: Stronger Than Domestic Firms, Especially at Home" by @constance-marette.bsky.social, Camilo Umana Dajud and @vvicard.bsky.social. www.cepii.fr/CEPII/en/pub... #econsky #trade

Multinational Enterprises reshaped their global employment post-COVID: 📉 foreign affiliates lagged, 📈 home ones led. Evidence of strategic reshoring is growing — and lasting. Read the paper by @vvicard.bsky.social and colleagues. @cepii-paris.bsky.social): rethink-gsc.eu/multinationa...

📢 RETHINK-GSC Final Policy Conference 📅 18 Sept 2025 | @bruegel.org, Brussels & online Knowledge flows, service inputs & economic shocks are reshaping #GlobalSupplyChains. Join us as we present our key research findings for policy + resilience. 🔗 Registration: www.bruegel.org/event/rethin... #GSC

Happy to share that my research on how firms adapt to temporary infrastructure disruptions is finally out as a working paper!

🚢 Klimaschocks hinterlassen Spuren! Unsere Forschung zeigt, dass das Niedrigwasser 2018 Unternehmen in Deutschland dauerhaft von der Binnenschifffahrt auf Schiene & Straße umsteigen ließ. 📰 Der Spiegel berichtet über @saskiameuchelboeck.bsky.socials Studie👇 #Lieferketten #Resilienz #Klimawandel

Even short-term shocks can reshape supply chains. 🚢 New research by @saskiameuchelboeck.bsky.social shows German firms hit by the 2018 low water crisis on the Rhine permanently shifted away from inland shipping — a warning for climate resilience. Learn more: rethink-gsc.eu/germanys-low...

“The importance of trade in services between the US and the EU unfortunately only plays a minor role in the trade talks between the two countries, otherwise this would give the EU considerable negotiating power.” New Kiel Policy Brief by Holger Görg, RETHINK_GSC's project head, and colleagues! 👇

🚀 More patents = more jobs — but only when innovation is diverse & connected. Our new RETHINK-GSC study shows: doubling patenting boosts jobs by 6%, but over-concentration in a few fields slows growth. 👉Smart, inclusive R&D policy is key. #Innovation #Jobs #STEM #EUresearch #RETHINKGSC

Innovation drives jobs: Doubling patent activity boosts employment by 6%. The effect is strongest in globally connected regions. But when innovation narrows to just a few tech fields, job growth stalls. New findings from EU project @rethink-gsc.bsky.social 👇

New paper. My favorite takeaway is that MNEs are better at turning innovation into employment.

📣 New publication! "Multinational Network, Innovation and the Growth of Employment" MNEs = more innovation and more jobs. Study finds global firms are better at turning patents into employment. Local R&D → global ripple effect. Time to rethink how we support innovation? 💡🌍 #innovation #jobs #MNEs

🚨 Only 10% of EU patents involve universities. Why? A new study of 2,900 HEIs finds third-party funding boosts both quantity & quality of patents — especially in wealthier regions. Regional policy matters! 🔗 rethink-gsc.eu/funding-stru... #Patents #Innovation #ResearchFunding #RETHINKGSC #EU

Great workshop, inspiring people and interesting work presentations. I learned a lot- thanks to all of you!

Great discussions of the works done within the #RETHINK-GSC project and 2 great keynotes

Really enjoyed this one, weather aside. Learned a lot, especially about open source software.

“When chaos reigns, the one at the centre of the storm calls the shots.” Find the English op-ed version "Trump’s tariff plan is unspeakably bad. Or is it just diabolical?" by @ronbdavies.bsky.social (@ucddublin.bsky.social)here: 👇 rethink-gsc.eu/trumps-tarif...

What if tariffs alone could eliminate the US trade deficit? 🧵 RETHINK-GSC institute lead @ronbdavies.bsky.social (@ucddublin.bsky.social) examined the set of assumptions underpinning Trump's tariffs, as laid out in last week's tariff announcement. More 👉 rethink-gsc.eu/deriving-the... 1/

🚨 KITE Insta-Analysis: Trump has announced his intention to put 25% tariffs on all EU goods. The impact would be significant for the EU, but the US would also face major costs—especially if the EU retaliates. 1/5 @kiel.institute

🌍 Exciting discussions at our #EconomicSecurity & Global Trade workshop! Over two days, we explored policy, globalization, labor markets, etc. Opening greetings from Consul General Shinsuke Toda & keynotes from Jota Ishikawa & Pao-Li Chang. Huge thanks to all speakers, organizers & participants! 🚀

Kick-off for the workshop on “Economic Security and the Future of the Global Trading System” — extremely timely topic with papers on the impact of the democratic dividend and environmental policy on trade. @kiel.institute @rethink-gsc.bsky.social @joschkawanner.bsky.social

🚨 KITE Insta-Analysis: The US is imposing reciprocal tariffs on all trading partners and may count VAT as a tariff. Bottom line: The impact is largest for the US itself among large economies. Of course, big caveat: Very limited information at this point. 1/3

📣 New research: The expiry of the US Generalised System of Preferences (GSP) has led to a 5-10% drop in imports from developing countries. This is a blow to exporters, with implications for growth and market access. 🌍 Key takeaways: 1. Trade stability matters for developing nations

As part of his new trade war with China, Trump suspended the de minimus exemption for imports from China. This exempts imports of "low-value" shipments -- under $800 -- from tariffs. Why was this created? The first reason given by the NFTC is that: 1/2.

🚨 European universities are falling behind in global patenting: a new study shows that 5 countries dominate 72% of EU university patents, while 70% of universities report no activity. No EU university is in the world's top 50, which are dominated by the US and China. 👉 rethink-gsc.eu/no-eu-countr...

🚨 European university patenting is geographically concentrated, with 5 Western European countries accounting for the majority of patents. Meanwhile, 70% of European universities report no patenting activity. What does this mean for Europe's innovation landscape? 🧵1/
