Labour Market Effects of India’s Termination from the United States’ GSP
Published by: Institute of Development Studies
This paper investigates the sudden 2019 termination by the United States Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) of trade with India as a quasi-natural experiment. Given the re-election of Donald Trump and global concerns about the future of global trade, understanding the distributional consequences from past trade shocks can inform strategies to balance trade preferences with social equity.
