Is trade globalisation changing the voting behaviour of French citizens through its impact on the labour market? Since 1981, there has been a significant increase in the proportion of votes cast against globalisation in France. Part of this increase is due to the increased competition induced by the rise in imports of goods. However, this result is only driven by imports of final goods and not by imports of intermediate goods. Indeed, the greater exposure of national employment to these imports, which complement certain economic activities, has led to a decrease in the share of votes against globalisation. Similarly, exports have mitigated the rise in anti-globalisation votes through their beneficial effects on the economic activity of the regions concerned.

The CEPII is organising a seminar on international macroeconomics and finance on 12th and 13th June 2024. Six presentations will be given by international researchers, with a focus on central banks, how their balance sheets are used to absorb crises or international shocks, or conversely, how such shocks are propagated to emerging countries. The morning session of 13th June will be dedicated to the effects of exchange rate regimes — do flexible exchange rate regimes really limit the impact of external shocks? — the effects of mass layoffs on productive networks, and the consequences of industrial policies on productivity abroad.
