Description

This study seeks to resolve the "free trade vs. managed trade" debate. It provides innovative recommendations for US policy based on detailed and rigorous case studies of high-technology trade conflicts between the United States, Japan and Europe in aircraft, telecommunications, electronics and supercomputers.The study addresses three key issues: What trade policy should the United States adopt to support its high-technology industries? What domestic policy initiatives are necessary to realize this goal? Are new international rules needed to reduce trade conflicts over high-technology industries? Tyson, formerly Chair of the President's Council of Economic Advisers, develops a "cautious activist" policy agenda to promote US competitiveness in high-technology sectors and to strengthen international rules to encourage trade and reduce conflicts among nations.

Description

This study provides an analysis of several cases of high-technology trade conflict between the United States, Japan and Europe with the objective of drawing policy lessons for the United States. Three questions are posed: what kinds of multilateral rules are required to reduce trade friction in high-technology industries?; what kinds of trade policies should the United States pursue in support of its own high-technology producers?; what kinds of new domestic initiatives are necessary to realize this goal? Tyson proposes a "cautious activist" policy agenda to maintain American competitiveness in high-technology industries.
