According to the International Trade Centre, the COVID-19 pandemic has led governments to throw up “temporary trade measures that aim to restrict exports of vital medical supplies, and to liberalize imports of vital medical supplies as well as other essential products”. As of last week, some 98 countries have temporary export restrictions or outright bans in place. In contrast, 102 countries have liberalized their import restrictions.

Calculate and graph the openness index for the United States using quarterly data since 1947. What has been the postwar trend? Can you think of any factors that might help explain this trend? (Hint: Be careful with the data, as some databases record imports with a negative sign and then add them to exports to get net exports. If that is the case with your data, take the absolute value of imports before adding it to exports, because we are interested in the total volume of trade, not the balance of trade.)arrow_forward
