Second, @silvia_martinz received the Junior Research Award for her MA thesis: “The Impact of Formal Regional Integration in PTAs on Intra-Regional Trade”. What a promising first step into an academic career. We hope to encourage other young scholars in the future as well.

[DESTA @DESTA_Project]

As 2022 slowly ends, we proudly present two highlights for all DESTA followers. We are delighted to see that young scholars continue to use DESTA. Christoph Mödlhamer and @silvia_martinz won the @oegpw Junior Research Award at the #Tdpw using DESTA. What an honour!🥳👑🏅🏆

It happened, the German @Bundestag has ratified the #CETA agreement between the EU and Canada. 559 MPs voted for, 110 against and did not vote at all. This is a large majority, where there was none before #trade

Today, the German Bundestag will ratify the #CETA agreement, supported among others by the Greens. Seems that this support became possible after the coalition agreed to withdraw from the Energy Charter Treaty. #trade

Does Chinese financing of developing countries lead to more untransparent borrowing? Great paper by Ben Cormier in RIO @The_PEIO, using DESTA to control for former and current PTAs with China. A classic application👍

Forthcoming in RIO: "Chinese or western finance? Transparency, official credit flows, and the international political economy of development”, by Ben Cormier, https://t.co/JCiAdcYedN, @Springernomics, @The_PEIO

So communicating international norms can be decisive in opening posibilities for international social standards? Democratic accountability can motivate states to contribute to collective goods, even against economic self-interest? That's good news. Very rich paper!

Can trade agreements protect Parmigiano Reggiano? The design of trade agreement matters, as @MartijnHuysmans shows in the new issue of @RIPEJournal. Even the protection of Geographical Indications is possible: https://t.co/JyyGglejtf

Since Russia invaded Ukraine, sanctioning countries' exports to Russia have declined by 60% from the average level in the second half of 2021. Nonsanctioning countries' exports to Russia have fallen by 40%, hampering Russia's ability to purchase products from abroad. #PIIECharts

very interesting webinar on #sustainable #trade and trade facilitation tomorrow @UNECE

[DESTA @DESTA_Project]

the design of PTAs matters. We have seen before that there is variation of #IP in trade agreements: https://t.co/knFLshkQKw
@FredrikErixon, @osguinea. @Phil_Lamprecht and @ErikvanderMarel now explain the role intellectual property rights can play in their @ECIPE report

[ECIPE @ECIPE]

👉 #IP motivates people & companies to invest in innovation by providing the opportunity to recoup the investments made.
