Podcast appearances and mentions of chad bown

Chad Bown is not just among the world's most respected trade economists. He is also perhaps the single most careful tracker of real-time trade activity — which obviously makes him the best possible guest to explain the consequences of US President Donald Trump's decision on April 2nd to impose new tariffs on China and many other countries in addition to further escalating the trade war with China just a week later while changing course (though not entirely) against the rest of the world.Among the topics they chatted about: The scale of the potential fallout Where the tariffs stand now — including earlier tariffs already imposedThe ongoing threat to the American auto industry What it all means for the global liberal trading order The worst-case and best-case scenarios …and more!

President Donald Trump may have hit pause on tariffs against Mexico and Canada, but his trade penalties on China are still in place. That includes a 10 percent tariffs on all Chinese imports, including consumer electronics and other tech products. On POLITICO Tech, host Steven Overly talks to Chad Bown, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, about the implications for tech companies and online retailers in both the U.S. and China.

Goodbye for now, as old friend Soumaya Keynes joins Chad Bown to discuss why and what comes next.

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 provided $350 billion in tax credits and other incentives for clean energy technologies in the US. So how did American policymakers respond when South Korean government officials declared it was a “betrayal”? Chad Bown of the Peterson Institute tells Tim Phillips the strange-but-true tale of how the problem was fixed, and what it tells us about protectionist trade policy in a global crisis.

It's Friday and we're feeling the flow as we talk about the sales rebound that is rolling strong. We also discuss the IRA loophole that is changing the EV sales landscape, as well as a global first in autonomy going down in Las Vegas. The June numbers are in and the industry rebound is rolling on as auto sales reached a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 15.8 million, close to the upper end of forecasts and up from 15.1 million in May.Despite remaining below the 15 million mark in 2022 due to low inventory, sales have maintained or exceeded this level in 2023. However, they still fall short of the 2015-2019 boom years when sales exceeded 17 million annually. GlobalData, noting the resilience of American consumers amid near-record high prices and increasing interest rates, increased its 2023 sales forecast to 15.4 million, up by 500,000.Just about everyone is winning: Ford: +9.9%, General Motors: +18%, Toyota: +15%, Stellantis: +6%, Honda: +54%, Hyundai: +10%, Kia: +8%, Nissan: +33%, Subaru: +28%, Mazda: +97%, Audi: +16%, Volvo: +53%, Genesis: +33%, Ram: +3%, Jeep: -3%, Chrysler: +33%, Dodge: +37%, Fiat: -42%, Alfa Romeo: -25%Some analysts predict a cooling in sales pace in the second half of the year due to rising interest rates and affordability concerns.An unexpected loophole in the Inflation Reduction Act could make it easier and cheaper for car buyers to switch to an EV. The legislation originally established strict assembly and material sourcing criteria for vehicles to qualify for federal tax credits, but the new rules may not apply to leased vehicles. Chad Bown, senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics said, “So if the car companies set up a commercial leasing division and they buy their own vehicles in it, then they get the tax credit and they can pass it onto the consumer and they don't have to be trucks or vans," Bown said. "No other criteria apply. You can be super rich and qualify for this or the vehicle can be priced any price. There is also no restriction that it has be made in North America or that the batteries have to be sourced from outside of China."Edmunds reports about 37% of EVs bought in April were leased, up from 17% in April 2022. In May, about 44% were leased, up from 15% in the year-ago period. For June, 44% were leased compared with 13% in the year-ago period.Halo.Car, a provider of on-demand electric vehicles, has started offering driverless delivery of its remote-controlled EVsThis is a first of it's kind service, globally.. The program is launching in Las Vegas after four years of safety-driver assisted testing.The service allows customers to book a Halo.Car EV which is then remotely delivered to the customer's location.For now,  the driverless vehicles will initially be followed by a second vehicle to monitor the health and safety of the driverless vehicle.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email ASOTU Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/automotivestateoftheunion

As New York and other cities continue to deal with worsened air quality due to Canadian wildfires, people have been finding ways to adapt with a little help from technology. We look at some ways innovation is meeting necessity as wildfires become a growing problem because of climate change. Plus, President Biden vetoed a bill that would have curbed student loan forgiveness. And finally, a chat with the Peterson Institute for International Economics’ Chad Bown about how the U.S. is placating allies who say recent electric vehicle subsidies are protectionist and unfair.

What have we learned about how to create, manufacture, and distribute a new vaccine? Can countries cooperate to create a responsive and resilient supply chain if history repeats itself, and should the WTO have a role? Chad Bown talks to Tim Phillips.

A central result from economic theory is that nations benefit from international trade (even as there is a recognition that not all people within a country may benefit). But recently there have been calls for the United States to restrict trade by creating incentives or rules that favor domestic production over purchases from abroad. Will these efforts ultimately strengthen or weaken the United States economy Chad Bown of the Peterson Institute for International Economics joins Michael Klein on EconoFact Chats to discuss this issue. Chad is the Reginald Jones Senior Fellow at the Peterson Institute, and the host of the podcast Trade Talks.

America has changed the way it views the rest of the world. Rather than pushing for a more globalised economy with fewer trade barriers, the US is now seeking a more protected system of international trade. President Biden's Inflation Reduction Act promises nearly $400bn to boost clean energy and reduce dependence on China for things like batteries for electric cars. The Chips Act, meanwhile, provides incentives worth $52bn to boost America's semiconductor industry.On this week's podcast, hosts Mike Bird and Alice Fulwood examine what this new zero-sum era means for the global economy. Chad Bown from the Peterson Institute for International Economics tells them the age of globalisation isn't returning any time soon. Henry Gao from Singapore Management University blames America's attempt to “out-China China by becoming more like China”.Sign up for our new weekly newsletter dissecting the big themes in markets, business and the economy at www.economist.com/moneytalks For full access to print, digital and audio editions, subscribe to The Economist at www.economist.com/podcastoffer Hosted on Acast.

The term “free trade” has fallen out of favor in recent years. Trade disputes, economic uncertainty, and a growing income gap have stoked a global protectionist fire. Nationalist parties across the world have flourished on a trade-unfriendly agenda. Latin American leaders run campaigns on “renegotiating” trade agreements. The Trump Administration's loud anti-trade agenda, which led to the US leaving the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and an average 25% tariff on goods produced in China have proven difficult to reverse. What will the world look like with an increasingly protectionist agenda?  Altamar hosts Peter Schechter and Muni Jensen are joined by Chad Bown, Senior Fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics.

China is a big player in the global economy, importing and exporting several trillion dollars worth of goods and services each year. That means China’s trade decisions can affect the health of industries and economies across the globe, but right now it’s hard for the World Trade Organization to do anything about it. For more on this issue, we talk to Chad Bown at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. Households are becoming more nervous about personal finances due to inflation. A look at results from Apple and Amazon, which reported earnings and losses this week.

In the scramble for PPE in early 2020, prices spiked, supplies dried up, and doctors were forced to use garbage bags for protection. A year on, Chad Bown has examined what happened, and he tells Tim Phillips how we can avoid a repeat.

If you had trouble in the last four years keeping up with what was happening in the trade war, you're not alone. Chad Bown tell Tim Phillips about his new paper that explains what happened, when, what it meant - and what happens next. 

Dr. Chad Bown discusses the trade deal and prospects for American trade policies toward China in the new administration in an interview conducted on March 10, 2021. In a February 8 report for the Peterson Institute for International Economics, Dr. Chad Bown argues that the U.S.-China Phase One Trade Deal should be examined by the Biden administration. The centerpiece of the trade deal – China’s pledge to buy $200 billion more of U.S. goods and services split over 2020 and 2021 – has thus far fallen far short of its target. Other elements of the deal, such as China’s commitment to reduce nontariff barriers and open up to foreign investment, merit consideration as the new administration develops its international economic policies. A fresh U.S. policy approach toward China is needed, and should be undertaken jointly with like-minded countries.

Chad Bown of the Peterson Institute for International Economics joins Michael Klein to discuss China's role in the global economy, as well as the international cooperation involved in COVID-19 vaccine manufacturing and distribution.

Last year, China pledged to vastly increase its U.S. imports during 2020 and 2021. We ask economist Chad Bown if actual spending has been keeping pace with what was promised.

In this episode of our series Rethinking Asia, we spoke with Chad Bown, Reginald Jones Senior Fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. Chad is an expert on trade, having worked on the issue at the World Bank, the White House Council of Economic Advisors, and the World Trade Organization. We sat down to discuss the recent trade disagreement between South Korea and Japan. While, rooted in the countries’ deep historical, political, and social tensions dating back to the early 20th century, the attitudes and tactics adopted in the dispute reflect broader global sentiments surrounding trade. Key takeaways from the discussion include: A new front in global trade wars has opened, with South Korea squaring off against Japan. Specifically, the Japanese government put export restrictions on various exports to South Korea and, most recently in early August, removed South Korea from its so called ‘white list’ of countries that enjoy special trade terms with Japan. The move requires Japanese companies to follow a bureaucratic process when exporting to Korea, disrupting supply chains for Korean microchip and display manufacturers that rely heavily on Japanese inputs. Today’s tensions date to the Second World War, when Korea was a Japanese colony and Japanese companies used forced Korean labor. In 1965, the two countries signed a treaty to normalize the relationship under which Japan paid restitution to South Korea. Recently, however the South Korean Supreme Court ruled that the treaty only applied at a country level and that individuals could bring cases against Japanese companies. Japanese export restrictions are seen as retaliation for the decision. The deterioration of the trade relationship between Japan and South Korea reflects current attitudes and trends in trade by which countries are increasingly using trade as a lever to resolve political and social disputes once mediated through diplomatic channels. This dispute reveals that a focus on bilateral disputes may make it harder for countries to form regional or global trade agreements. Prior to the dispute, according to Bown, South Korea was interested in acceding to the Japan-led CP-TPP (Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement on Trans-Pacific Partnership) trade agreement among 11 countries. It is unlikely to follow through in light of current tensions. It is hard to say whether the current attitudes toward trade will upend the trend toward globalization established in the aftermath of the World War II. Recent results are a mixed bag: while high profile cases of anti-trade rhetoric and behavior have garnered the most attention, other countries continue to sign free trade agreements. The views expressed are not necessarily those of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco or of the Federal Reserve System.

We recorded this interview with Trade Talks host Chad Bown back in February. That was a time when we were still uncertain whether a deal would be reached on March 1 between China and the U.S. on whether the 10% tariffs would rise to 25% for the $200 billion Chinese imports to the U.S. Things have really evolved in the past few months with both good and bad times. The 25% tariffs became a reality, and on August 1, President Trump announced that additional 10% tariff will be levied on another $300 billion of Chinese imports. On August 5, the U.S. officially declared China as a Currency Manipulator, and we saw a huge stock market crash following that announcement. We’ve saved this interview waiting for the big moment to release it, and I think now is truly a critical moment in U.S-China relations and also an appropriate time for us to release this interview with Chad on the trade war. A few months have passed by, but we truly believe that our listeners can still learn so much from Chad’s insights.

Who will be the biggest loser in this trade war? Chad Bown tells Tim Phillips why it could be the WTO's dispute resolution system, and why we should worry if this happens.

Not to be overshadowed by the Trump-China trade war, the WTO issues an important legal ruling on Chinese subsidies. Soumaya Keynes and Chad Bown describe how the Americans had challenged Chinese payments to farmers of corn, wheat and rice, as well as implications of the WTO ruling for US-China trade relations and the multilateral system.

To discuss the latest developments on NAFTA and US - China trade, the Expert Series hosted trade guru Chad Bown, Reginald Jones Senior Fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. Most of the discussion focuses on the progress of the US’ trade negotiations with Mexico and Canada. The most interesting part of the discussion is on the outlook for Auto tariffs, which are becoming increasingly likely given the focus on the “rules of origin” procedures between the US and Mexico. Chad inadvertently paints a few really scary scenarios in which the Trump administration would put up blanket tariffs against all US imports, designed to avoid the temptation for car companies to start producing more cars in Mexico and importing them into the US from there.

Chad Bown is a fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington, DC and cohost of the excellent Trade Talks, a weekly podcast on the economics of international trade policy. In this episode, we discuss the competing grand strategies of US and China as well as their different tactics for executing their trade war policies. We touch on potential internal inconsistencies in Trump's trade outlook, the implications for the USD and RMB, as well as potential endgames. Outtro music by VaVa

According to US President Donald Trump "trade wars aren't so bad". Recently his government surprised the world by announcing unexpected big increases in import taxes - or tariffs - on steel and aluminium. Mr Trump believes that this is one way to do something about America's huge trade deficit, which he says stems from the nation being "taken advantage of" by other countries for decades. The US also threatened tariff increases on a huge range of other products, including many from China. The Chinese government responded in kind, raising tariffs on American imports of everything from cars to ginseng. The row has deeply worried many politicians and business leaders across the world: could this be the start of a new trade war? But what exactly is a trade war - and is it possible to win one? And what are the implications for the UK if the dispute between the US and China escalates?CONTRIBUTORSDr Marc-William Palen, historian at the University of Exeter and author of The 'Conspiracy' of Free Trade.Chad Bown, Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington DC and former White House senior economist.
