RFBerlin Podcast Series
Welcome to the RFBerlin Podcast Series, presented by the ROCKWOOL Foundation Berlin, dedicated to disseminating cutting-edge research on the economy and labour market to the academic community and beyond.
We invite leading economists to discuss the key challenges the labour market and its workers are facing. Hear what they think about recent economic trends; the impact of new technologies, outsourcing, or migration; and what governments can do to mitigate turbulences. The podcast brings you up to date with the latest empirical research without asking you to move, do math or touch data, but by meeting you where you are.

4. Handbook Talk with Gordon Hanson & David Dorn: What is the future of globalization and trade?
In this podcast episode dedicated to the new edition of the Handbook of Labor Economics, Gordon Hanson (Peter Wertheim Professor in Urban Policy at Harvard Kennedy School) and David Dorn (UBS Foundation Professor of Globalization and Labor Markets at the University of Zurich) discuss the current state of globalization and its impact on the labor market.
The speakers debate the effectiveness of tariffs and protectionism, suggesting that they often fail to create jobs and can lead to retaliatory measures, exacerbating job losses. They conclude with a call for policymakers to consider the evidence against protectionist policies and to focus on strategies that genuinely support workers and promote innovation in the face of economic changes.
