When global markets get disrupted, it is bad news for everyone, but disproportionately so for conflict-prone low-income countries. @_ShonFerguson and I wrote an @AJAREJournal article on this a couple of years ago, reflecting on the 2022 price surges.

My latest post:
Making Middle Powers Great Again
I argue that the Cairns Group offers a useful template for cooperation among “middle powers”. A nice historical example from agricultural trade!

My thoughts on the year ahead. Lots happening in the US and the EU to keep an eye on.

🌍 Are current climate accounting rules making agricultural emissions worse? @_ShonFerguson from SLU will present new research on GHG incentives at the SITE Seminar on November 18. 📄 Read the working paper and join the seminar. hhs.se/en/about-us/calendar/… #ClimatePolicy #Agriculture
My latest post discusses the consequences of recent U.S. trade policy on global value chains in the agri-food sector.

Instead of the usual analysis of ag/env/trade policy, this week's post aims to give readers some insights into academic life. I hope economists/non-economists find it amusing/useful.

My latest post discusses the potential trade and spatial implications of Canada's regulated system of dairy production, supply management.
TL/DR: Canada's production per person is extremely uniform compared to U.S.; homogenized, you might say.

Amid the new tariff threats on the EU, my post is still relevant.
So I started a blog!
I call it Just ATE Blog (Agriculture, Trade and the Environment).
My first post: Trump 2.0, tariffs and agricultural trade
TL/DR: EU agri-food exports should be resilient, but dangers loom.
