🌐Trade in services has been relatively neglected in #trade policy debates. ⭐This column argues that this is partly due to the fact that ‘mode 3’ services, the biggest mode of supply for services trade whereby companies establish a physical presence abroad to deliver services to foreign customers, are systematically missing from official trade statistics. 👉A comprehensive assessment of the value of total services trade under all five modes of supply, using two databases from the OECD and WTO, reveals that the future of global trade is already in services, as their total value exceeds the value of world merchandise trade.

💸The #banking turmoil in March 2023 was the most significant system-wide banking stress event since the global crisis. ⭐This second column in a two-part series discusses policy options to adjust bank regulatory and supervisory frameworks, considering pros and cons. 👉Some options (such as narrow banking or full deposit insurance) appear impractical or too costly, while others require further analysis. ⏩Three policy proposals (amendments to liquidity requirements, enhancements to supervision policy, and recognition of funding fragilities in the computation of Pillar 2 requirements) could be implemented quickly to increase bank stability relative to liquidity #risk.

🏛️The bank failures in March 2023 revived old debates about the role of deposit funding for banks, the best way to address the fragility inherent in deposit funding, and more general policy reflections on the need to adjust banks’ regulatory and supervisory frameworks. ⭐This first in a two-column series discusses the role of deposit funding in the #EU #banking system and the related risk of runs. 👉It then elaborates on interest rate risk in banking and identifies existing or potential policies that could be used or adapted to address the vulnerability to runs or its underlying causes.

🧠On #WorldMentalHealthDay, CEPR highlights some thought-provoking research on topics related to mental health. 🔥The theme of World Mental Health Day this year is Mental Health at Work. This topic was covered by Arash Nekoei & Jósef Sigurdsson (Stockholms universitet) and Dominik Wehr (Stockholm School of Economics) in their recent column about the economics of burnout. https://ow.ly/gHUT50TIOoZ 📱With stress and anxiety diagnoses on the rise in young people, Esther Arenas-Arroyo (WU (Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien)), Daniel Fernández Kranz and Natalia Nollenberger (IE University) discuss the impact of access to online media and the mental health of adolescents in Spain. https://ow.ly/Ea4p50TIOoY 🧒Events in childhood can have a life-long impact. Manudeep Bhuller (Universitetet i Oslo (UiO)), Gordon Dahl (UC San Diego, Norges Handelshøyskole (NHH)), Katrine Løken (Norges Handelshøyskole (NHH)) and Magne Mogstad (University of Chicago) examine how exposure to domestic violence impacts the mental health of victims and their children. https://ow.ly/H7mz50TIONE 💰How can we improve mental health? Clemente Pignatti and Zachary Parolin (Università Bocconi) write about unconditional cash transfers in the US and the impact they had on self reported bad mental health days. https://ow.ly/ZBtm50TIOoX

🌐The rise in the use of non-tariff measures, especially in the form of antidumping duties and countervailing duties, has dramatically changed the landscape of #trade policy. 🚗This column leverages the ongoing Sino-EU disputes over electric vehicles to examine why countries mix tariff and non-tariff measures and whether such mixing depends on the characteristics of the products, importing countries, or export countries. 👉In the current climate of geopolitical fragmentation, the analysis suggests that we are entering an era of more mixed use of policies, resulting in more substitution between tariffs and non-tariff measures.

📈Concerns about growing #inequality and a shrinking middle class are deeply ingrained in European public perceptions. ⭐This column provides a more nuanced picture of #Europe over the last 15 years. 👉Income inequality for the #EU as a whole has declined due to a strong process of income convergence between countries. 🔀At the same time, the evolution of income inequality across countries is mixed, increasing in about half and declining in the other half. 📊Finally, the middle class has indeed shrunk in nearly two-thirds of EU countries.

🌏Firms can react to geopolitical and supply chain #shocks by altering their input sourcing and sales destination choices. ⭐This column presents new evidence of the effect of war on the trade flows of third countries. 🔄In response to the excess demand shock caused by #sanctions on #Russia following its invasion of #Ukraine in 2022, Indian leather exporters redirected or reshored their sales of leather goods from relatively unimportant export destinations to Russia. ⛔At the same time, they kept exports to major destinations – primarily Europe and the US – undisturbed.

📈The recent rise in interest rates worldwide has reignited the debate over its implications for emerging market economies #EMEs. ⭐This column uses data for the euro area to examine whether interest rate increases in advanced economies trigger capital outflows from emerging market debt securities. 👉The authors find no consistent evidence of spillovers to capital flows through emerging market bond holdings except for those linked to the changes in the shares held by investment funds, which appear to be the most active investors. 🔊Information shocks induce very different responses in investment fund behaviour than traditional monetary shocks.

🌏Climate-related risks, both those related to the warming of the planet and those related to our actions to mitigate it, are a factor in asset pricing. ⭐This column argues that the nature of these risks is quite different from that of other shocks commonly considered in asset pricing models. 📊Specifically, these shocks come from distributions that are not necessarily known and shift over time. 💭Understanding the pricing of #climate risks necessarily involves discussing how beliefs about the nature of these risks are formed.
