Recent related podcast episode on industrial policy in Romania:

"Romanians were facing two options – either to stay and try to navigate these stormy waters or take the path of the West now that Romanian borders were finally open"

Industrial policy is extraordinarily difficult to get right, and is often a waste of money that could have been better spent elsewhere. This is a rare "success" story

@jonty @tryst Britain is desperately trying to show that they're still relevant. This photo was taken at London Gatwick airport.

(No means unique to the UK: China was, perhaps still is, obsessed with "autonomous intellectual property", perhaps out of fear of the West dictating technical standards)

But between Christmas and New Years, the Biden Administration quietly added a massive . You can get the credit if you lease a vehicle, and none of the other restrictions apply to leases. The industry was paying attention, and lease rates for electric vehicles have soared this year.

A couple other notes about the IRA: the Biden administration likes to champion unions in its rhetoric, and that’s great. But a lot of the factories being built with IRA money, such as an electric battery plant in Tennessee, are going to states that have a track record of preventing unionization in their businesses.

With the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the US has chosen industrial policy as the way forward to fight climate change. Economists don’t like industrial policy in general. It’s very hard for governments to get it right. They often end up subsidizing the wrong businesses for political reasons. (E.g. representatives fight to get money for their own states, certain states are more important for presidential elections, etc.)

: "Because the entire European edifice was built on the premise that competition is sufficient to guarantee economic efficiency, there is close to zero technical-administrative capability to enforce industrial policy. Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, austerity has had similarly damaging effects on state capacity. Asked about the viability of Biden’s programme, Brian Deese, the former director of the National Economic Council, sounded a cautious note: ‘A lot of that comes down to the professionalism of the civil service at the federal level and the state and local level – a lot of which has been hollowed out.’"

The UK’s new semiconductor policy involves support of initially £200m. Put that against Biden’s $52B. If only we could be part of a big push within a huge market on our doorstep. Maybe we could call it a single market?

It's not often I've heard this kind of sentiment from climate economists:

"Economists’ opposition to industrial policies often comes in the form of recommending a humbler role for government. To be helpful in the era of green industrial policy, economists may need to accept a humbler role for themselves..."

Once criticized by conservatives as "picking winners and losers" and by progressives as corporate welfare, a U.S. industrial policy is enjoying a rare bipartisan consensus, even in staunchly Republican states like Ohio…

” may have become an American pejorative, but it delivered spectacular world growth from 1950 until 2010. Even as the United States strays from the tenets of an open world economy, other capitals still see the wisdom of continuing the course—but without Washington at the helm," write Gary Clyde Hufbauer and Megan Hogan, both at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, in a new piece for our series (views are their own).
