Understanding Global Trade and Tariffs with Dr. Anne Villamil (Part 1)
Trade policies shape everything from the price of goods to the stability of global economies, but how do they actually work?
In part one of this two-part series, Plugged into Public Health host Lauren Lavin sits down with Dr. Anne Villamil, professor of economics at the University of Iowa Tippie College of Business, to unpack the history and complexity of international trade. Dr. Villamil shares her experience working at the U.S. Trade Representative’s Office in Washington, D.C., and explains how trade institutions like the World Bank and World Trade Organization came to exist after World War II.
Together, they explore how trade agreements are negotiated, what lessons past trade wars can teach us, and why tariffs are back in the spotlight today.
Tune in next week for part two, where Dr. Villamil breaks down how tariffs work in the modern U.S. economy.
