    NEW REPORT: Regulating trade is not the best way to help lower-income workers who suffer from trade-induced losses.

    As the EU has announced retaliatory trade measures against Trump’s new tariffs, a timely IZA World of Labor report looks at the effects of trade regulation on firms and workers. It shows that reducing adjustment costs to trade liberalization would be a more effective policy to boost employment than trying to restrict trade.

    NEW REPORT: Do anti-discrimination policies work?

    A majority of the population of the EU views discrimination as being widespread. A new IZA World of Labor report shows that anti-discrimination policies that rely on a punitive approach are not sufficient to combat discrimination. New research is shedding light on the impact of interventions that aim to reduce prejudices.
