Conference Banque de France, PSE G-MonD and CEPII “After the collapse, the reshaping of trade”

Conference papers

The topic will be the reshaping of trade after the collapse observed at the end of 2008/at the beginning of 2009.
Focused on the question of the recovery of trade, the conference will be divided into three sessions:

1. Is the crisis of trade over?
2. Developed countries back to growth?
3. Reshuffling of trade in favour of emerging countries

Recent academic papers will be presented in these sessions and two lectures will be made:

• Francois Bourguignon (PSE G-MonD): Can Africa benefit from the trade rebound?
• Kevin O’Rourke (Trinity College): The 2008-2009 trade collapse in historical perspective

A round table chaired by Marc Roscam Abbing (CPB) will conclude the conference.
