Summary: This study used the gravitational model and Poisson Pseudo Maximum Likelihood estimator to estimate the impact of the WTO on new member countries from 1995 to 2014. It found that the WTO has promoted trade among new member countries, but the impact has been weak and unevenly distributed between developed and developing countries, as well as across different sectors examined.

Summary: The potential agreement within the WTO in November 2021 to prohibit harmful fisheries subsidies marks the culmination of over 20 years of negotiation, with strengths and areas for improvement identified in the current draft text. Key areas for improvement include specific provisions to support fisher incomes, uniform handling of IUU fisheries, and transparency in distant water fisheries. Avoiding capacity-enhancing subsidies and preventing further negative impacts on marginalized fisher populations are crucial considerations.

Summary: The study explores the relationship between exchange rates and South Korea's trade flows, focusing on invoicing currencies. Results indicate that a strong US dollar, as the dominant invoiced currency, leads to a decrease in South Korea's imports, with a similar effect observed for the Japanese yen. Fluctuations in the invoicing share of dominant currencies impact the significance of exchange rate changes.

Summary: This paper examines how frictions in the local business environment can affect the productivity gains from trade. Using Vietnamese firm-level data, the analysis finds that trade opening has a positive effect on firms' efficiency. However, local market constraints such as unenforceable property rights, an ineffective land-titling system, bureaucratic hurdles, and labor market frictions play a crucial role in the transmission of trade liberalization shocks. These findings have important policy implications, suggesting the need for complementary policies to address local market constraints alongside trade reforms.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between alternative and sustainable energy sources, trade, income, and emissions in 27 selected European Union economies. The long-term results reveal that sustainable energy sources have a negative impact on pollutant emissions, while trade and income have a positive impact on carbon emissions, with trade having an insignificant impact. The findings suggest the need for increased use of sustainable energy sources to mitigate carbon emissions in the EU.

Summary: This paper examines the impact of the CFA franc on members' bilateral trade flows. Using Baier et al. (2019) two-stage estimating technique, the study investigates if the CFA franc trade effect supports the argument for a broader ECOWAS single currency. The results show that the CFA franc does not have a significant effect on bilateral trade, but there are unique heterogeneous estimates of the trade effect among different country pairs in the union.

Summary: The study examines variation in countries' commitment behavior during the TFA ratification process, finding that the number of commitments made depends on factors such as development level, population size, corruption control ability, and foreign aid received. Additionally, the use of multidimensional scaling techniques reveals that differences in the content of national commitment bundles are closely tied to the number of commitments made.

Summary: Two competing visions, "Atlantic Europe" and "Fortress Europe", shaped Europe's position in the world economy in the post-war era. While the "Fortress Europe" view was thought to have been defeated during globalization, concepts such as economic sovereignty and strategic autonomy have reemerged in the EU. A selective fortification of European industrial strategy and trade policy is occurring, aimed at protecting European firms from new global competition patterns.

Summary: Exposure to dust, smoke, and fumes from the collapse of the World Trade Center towers has had a significant impact on the health of first responders and recovery workers in New York City. This review examines the exposure and causal mechanisms of age-related disease susceptibility in these individuals, specifically in relation to the cardiovascular, pulmonary, and neurological systems. Understanding the deleterious mechanisms of WTC dust exposure on the heart, lungs, and brain is crucial for better treatment of these individuals who risked their lives during and after the September 11, 2001 disaster.

Summary: Understanding the relationship between disability and employment is crucial, but estimating this relationship is challenging, especially with survey data. Misreporting of disability and employment status results in misclassification, leading to uncertainty in bounding the labor market status of the disabled even with modest misclassification. The study shows that additional assumptions can provide some identifying power to estimate the employment gap between the non-disabled and disabled.
