Summary
Trade Policy and the Stock Market
In his recent work, Christoph Moser has focused with his co-authors on several important trade policy issues. The empirical identification of their main economic effect of interest often relies on carefully identifying the exact timing of crucial trade policy changes and evaluating the immediate stock market reactions to them. Thereby, he gratefully acknowledges plausibly exogenous variations provided by the Trump administration (2017-2021) on important trade policy issues like the U.S. Generalized System of Preferences (GSP), Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) clauses and, last but by no means least, the World Trade Organization (WTO).
Mr. Moser’s research focuses on international economics, international trade and labor, trade policy and political economy. His work has been published in journals such as the Journal of International Economics, the Economic Journal, the Journal of Public Economics and the European Economic Review. While visiting CES, beyond trade policy, he will continue his current work on the consequences of opening the Swiss labor market to German cross-border commuters and his work on prediction markets and the revolving door in the United States.
Christoph Moser has been the head of the Chair of Global Governance and International Trade at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg since 2018. He was previously Professor of Economics at the University of Salzburg (2015-2018), where he also served as deputy head of the interdisciplinary research center SCEUS (Salzburg Centre of European Union Studies). He is a CESifo Research Network Fellow, a Research Fellow at the Labor and Socio-Economic Research Center (LASER), Nuremberg, as well as a KOF Research Fellow at ETH Zurich. He holds a PhD in Economics from the University of Mainz and he enjoyed an excellent research environment at ETH Zurich, KOF Swiss Economic Institute, as a post-doc. He earned his first academic degree in international economic and business studies at the University of Innsbruck, in his home town.
