Cheap Shoes
[Economist's View] Sneakers for Social Justice?, by Dave Zirin, The Nation: Stephon Marbury, the wildly talented and widely criticized point guard for the New York Knicks, usually carries a Q rating commensurate with Kim Jong Il. Making max dollars and being the face of the NBA's most dysfunctional franchise will do that.

The Exchange Rate-Consumer Price Puzzle
[Economist's View] Of course, one might expect that the solution to the puzzle is in part related to the distances and costs involved in shipping goods, as that would clearly imply that trading costs are not negligible. But recent research suggests that other factors are better at explaining not only why consumer prices are relatively insensitive to exchange rate movements but also why they are even less sensitive than import prices.

Martin Wolf's Virtual Symposium: The Political Economy of Globalization and Growth
[Brad DeLong's Semi-Daily Journal] Paul Seabright: The elephant in the living-room that Martin hasn't mentioned is migration. Distance matters much less than it did for the products of human ingenuity, most of which can now be sent across the world at a fraction of their former cost, but the capacities that underlie that human ingenuity still need proximity to others to be productive.

Something I Wrote Six Years Ago That It Is Time to Revisit...
[Brad DeLong's Semi-Daily Journal] Without NAFTA's guarantee of tariff- and quota-free access to the American market, we would not have seen the rise in trade within industries between Mexico and the U.S. over the past half decade. Rising intra-industry trade means that Mexico and the U.S. are moving toward a greater degree of specialization and a finer division of labor in important industries like autos--where labor-intensive portions are more and more done in Mexico--and textiles--where the U.S. increasingly does high-tech spinning and weaving and Mexico increasingly does lower-tech cutting and sewing.

Explaining the Gains from Globalization
[Economist's View] Explaining the Gains from Globalization, by Mark Thoma, Guest Contributor, NDN: Recently, the topic of how to share the gains from globalization in order to prevent a protectionist backlash has been widely discussed. For example, the in the last few days theFinancial Times has two articles on this issue,Share gains with globalisation’s losers by Martin Wolf andGlobal stability rests on sharing the gains by Jan Kregel and William Milberg, the New York Times has had many articles about this such asReal Wages Fail to Match a Rise in Productivity by Steven Greenhouse and David Leonhardt, and this topic has been discussed in many other forums as well including this year's Federal ReserveSymposium at Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

The End of the Rainbow
[Economist's View] Bradford DeLong, Project-Syndicate: For quite a while now -- certainly since the terrorist attacks on the US on Sept. 11, 2001, and before as we watched the slaughter in Kosovo, Sarajevo, Srebrenica, Rwanda and Congo on our televisions -- the news has been dominated by war and rumors of war, by violent death and threats of violent death.

Sharing the Gains from Globalization
[Economist's View] Feckless congressmen and congresswomen don't understand that the American economy is cushioned from their fiscal policy stupidities by the ability of the U.S. government to sell bonds internationally on a jaw-droppingly unbelievable scale.

A Long-Held Secret Revealed?
[ Law Offices of G. Mathew Lombard, P.C.] Both Coca-Cola and PepsiCo were forced out of India in 1977 by a socialist government that objected to a lack of local investors and an unwillingness to share technology such as Coke’s top-secret formula.

Globalization, Productivity, and Wages
[Economist's View] I usually don't like to get involved in the globalization, trade and productivity discussions, because I don't feel that even most of the economists really know what they are talking about, or (worse, sometimes) care to know. But, Blissex has set a high standard, so I will go where angels fear to tread.
