... Fernandes, et al. [41] demonstrate the significance of factor endowments, geographical location, politic al stability, open trade policies, foreign direct investment, and the strength of domestic industrial capacity in influencing participation in Global Value Chains (GVCs). Dollar and Kidder [42] reveal that the quality of institutions affects comparative advantage, which in turn influences participation in GVCs. Ge, et al. [43] highlight that insufficient institutions pose a significant obstacle to the development of Global Value Chains (GVCs) and regional integration in the countries associated with the "One Belt and One Road" (OBOR) initiative. ...

... Reshoring, too, remains particularly rare. The US Reshoring initiative reports 1,379 reshoring cases all over the US in 2018. 1 Freund et al. (2024) find limited evidence of reshoring in their analysis of the impact of US tariffs on imports from China. Survey-based efforts to measure this phenomenon in Europe tend to be biased toward large firms and report around 10-15 reshoring events per year-country (Dachs et al., 2019). ...

... Countries worldwide have been increasingly signing different types of PTAs, which have also become increasingly complex and deep in their content (Kohl et al., 2016;Hofmann et al., 2019;Mattoo et al., 2020). 1 These deep PTAs cover not just trade but also provisions on additional policy areas such as IPRs protection, competition policy, trade-related investment measures, public procurement, e-commerce, service liberalization, the environment, or investment and labor flows. These trade-related issues aim at deepening integration beyond trade, and IPRs are one of the most common policy areas covered by deep PTAs (Mattoo et al., 2020). ...

... Recent attempts involving the construction of STRIs include projects by the OECD (OECD 2009 andGrosso et al. 2015) and the World Bank (Borchert, Gootiiz, and Mattoo 2012). The STRIs derived by the OECD are only for OECD economies, while the World Bank covers 79 developing and transition economies, and 24 OECD economies. ...

... Governments can also foster international trade in health services. They can make it easier for people to purchase health services in countries where costs are lower, known as "medical tourism" (Mattoo and Subramanian 2013), such as by reducing policy constraints on the portability of health insurance (Mattoo and Rathindran 2006). ...

... This work draws on two strands of literature in industrial policy. The first has concerned itself with documenting the recent increase in industrial policy (Evenett et al., 2024;Rotunno & Ruta, 2023;Juhász et al., 2024Juhász et al., , 2023 and analyzing its effects on trade (Rotunno & Ruta, 2023Barattieri et al., 2024). The second is a structural analysis of the propagation of policy through a production networks (Liu, 2019;Liu & Tsyvinski, 2024). ...

... Such measures have contributed to recession and relentless falls in foreign trade volumes in various heavily affected industries, including travel and tourism industries. Furthermore, according to a study by Maliszewska, Mattoo and Van Der Mensbrugghe (2020), major economic systems have lost considerable proportions of their gross domestic product (GDP), up to 3.9%, while developing countries have been hit the hardest (4% on average, but some of them had over 6.5%). Relying on different policies, such as trade de-liberalism and increasing restrictions to free capital and trade flows, is considered as essential strategy to provide economic growth recovery (Rasoulinezhad et al., 2021). ...

... However, it is reasonable to expect that some provisions included in DTAs might have a negative effect on trade flows between members. Some of the new policy areas covered by DTAs aim to improve various non-trade objectives (NTOs) such as labour and environmental standards (these two policy areas are covered by around 20% of all PTAs, Mattoo et al., 2020). In this case, recent DTAs that include trade-restrictive environmental provisions might allow countries to promote "green protectionism" and therefore reduce international trade (Brandi and Morin, 2023). ...
