Effects of Post-Colonial Racism and Foreign Aid on Trade Reciprocity:

Colonial and post-colonial race relations and foreign aid are often hypothesized as impacting North-South trade, but few empirical studies examine this relationship in the context of trade negotiations. In this seminar, Professor J.P. Singh will present two empirical findings in the context of North-South trade negotiations: (1) post-colonial racism negatively impacts trade reciprocity; (2) foreign aid is a substitute for making meaningful trade concessions.
