About this listen

How does global trade influence local politics? In this insightful episode, we delve into groundbreaking research by David Autor, David Dorn, Gordon Hanson, and Kaveh Majlesi exploring the electoral impacts of rising international trade exposure in the United States.

We'll uncover how increased competition from imports affects voter behavior, contributing significantly to political polarization and shifts in voting patterns, particularly in areas most affected by trade disruptions. Could trade policy be indirectly reshaping party alignment and voter preferences?
