Check out this #JMP by @GiampaoloBonomi, a phenomenal UCSD student on the Market!

Giampaolo studies an extremely salient issue: how do social issues, often identitary/moral, interact with economic policy in politicians’ agendas?

I was lucky to be in Brussels just after the landmark agreement on the Critical Raw Materials Act, talking about the OECD contribution to CRM analysis.

We are keen to expand our network of experts in this area, please reach out if you have an interest in this work.

#Digital trade is already part of our everyday lives. When a sale or a purchase takes place online, there are many factors in the background for that to happen!

The adoption of cellphones by Keralan fishermen is, I believe, the most stunning example of the contribution of information technology to market performance.

Take a look at this graph for background: in three different regions of Kerala, phones were adopted at different times.
Kozhikode got cellphones before Kannur, who got them before Kasaragod. Adoption by fishermen was fast when phones were finally introduced:
Now look at what happened to the price of fish after phones entered the scene:
The dispersion in prices virtually disappeared! The author of the study wrote about this that:

"Before any region had mobile phones, the degree of price dispersion across markets within a region on any given day is high, and there are many cases where the price is zero (i.e., waste). However, within a few weeks of mobile phones being introduced in Region I, there is a sharp and striking reduction in price dispersion. Prices across markets in the region rarely differ by more than a few rupees per kilogram on any day, compared to cases of as much as 10 Rs/kg prior to the introduction of mobile phones. In addition, the prices in the various markets rise and fall together and the week-to-week variability within each market is much smaller, since catchment zone-specific quantity shocks are now spread across markets via arbitrage. Further, there are no cases of waste in this region after phones are introduced.

"By contrast, price behavior in regions II and III appears largely unchanged after phones are introduced in region I. However, after mobile phones are introduced in region II, prices again become much less dispersed across markets on any given day, less variable within markets over time, and waste is ultimately eliminated, whereas region III again remains unchanged. Finally, the same pattern holds once region III adds phones."

Efficient information transmission enables efficient markets. It's amazing what technology can do.

Jumping on the bandwagon:

GTP-3 has spoken (unequivocally).

The moratorium on applying customs duties on electronic transmissions should be renewed!

The OECD has a new portal on "Government support and subsidies"! The portal provides synopses to OECD govt. support work relating to industrial sectors, agriculture, fisheries, and fossil fuels. Kudos to @sfstone_trade and colleagues for this new tool!
