Assessing the Trans-Pacific Partnership: Innovations in Trading Rules
The Peterson Institute released volume 2 of the PIIE Briefing, Assessing the Trans-Pacific Partnership, on March 28, 2016. The new volume, Innovations in Trading Rules, analyzes trading rules and standards that the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) has crafted in important areas such as intellectual property rights, state-owned enterprises, digital trade, labor, and environment. The meeting features presentations by Institute Senior Fellow Jeffrey J. Schott, who provides an overview of the TPP, and Nonresident Senior Fellow Robert Z. Lawrence, discussing the adjustment and income distribution impacts of the agreement. Research Associate Cathleen Cimino-Isaacs gives her insights on labor standards, and Nonresident Senior Fellow Lee Branstetter discusses intellectual property rights and digital trade.
