The Biden administration has resurrected industrial policy with a vengeance, reviving old intellectual debates about the virtues and vices of industrial policy and sparking new ones. This program brings together scholarly debates about industrial policy with a discussion of the practical challenges of designing and implementing industrial policy in the United States.
The first panel (3:10-4:30 PM) will review the lessons from the study of the comparative political economy of industrial policy and apply them to the US today. The second panel (4:40-6 PM) will examine the economic and political impact of US industrial policy on European and Asian partners, and assess the potential for collaboration and conflict. We will have a 10-minute break between the two sessions.
Panel 1: A Comparative Political Economy Perspective on US Industrial Policy (3:10-4:30 PM)
Panel 2: The New US Industrial Policy: Cooperation or Conflict with our Allies? (4:40-6)
