【Abstract】

This presentation, based on the book written by Lawrence Edwards and Robert Lawrence Rising Tide: Is Growth in Emerging Markets Good for the United States? will explore the impact of Chinese growth in US welfare. It will first consider whether the United States and China are competitive or complementary in their trade patterns. It will then evaluate the impact of Chinese imports on US employment, wages and the costs of dislocation; and finally it will provide estimates of the overall benefit-to-cost ratio of US trade with China.
