A conversation with
Zornitsa Kutlina-Dimitrova
Senior Economist, Chief Trade Economist Unit, European Commission
Most debates over protectionism look only at the direct effects of “Buy National” laws — how do those laws help specific domestic producers, and how do they raise costs and reduce choice?
The European Commission is taking a new approach. Building on other transnational studies, the Commission has undertaken a multi-year effort to assess the economy-wide impact of domestic preferences in procurement. Through this effort, the European Commission will be able to predict the costs, direct and indirect, of new “Buy National” laws around the world.
Please join Zornitsa Kutlina-Dimitrova, a senior trade economist at the European Commission, in an interactive discussion of this important development in international trade.
