New World Optimism: How The U.S. Can Support A Thriving Latin America (Forbes)

A study by Deputy Division Director and Senior Research Fellow Xinshen Diao, Visiting Senior Research Fellow Eugenio Diaz-Bonilla, and Senior Research Fellow Sherman Robinson, “How Much Does It Hurt?,” was mentioned in an opinion piece for Forbes. The op-ed examines how, with a few policy changes, the United States could improve lives in Latin America. According to the piece, the study “found that agricultural policies, such as tariffs and subsidies, on behalf of wealthy countries are costing developing nations about $24 billion a year in lost income.”
