Write a research project discussing a topic on Any aspect of the US-China bilateral trade disagreement
The paper should follow the basic structure:
I. The paper should start with a short introduction/motivation section. Why should anyone care about your topic? Here talk about specifics, current events, politics, etc. (~1 pg). Be sure to establish a clear thesis (argument/focus) and lay out preliminary support you will reference throughout the next section.
- Use sources from reputable publications here (NY Times, Wall Street Journal, Economist, etc)
II. Next, you are expected to review the major contributions on the topic and the current state of the literature, citing at minimum five sources scholarly sources. This should be the bulk of your paper (~3-4 pgs). It is a literature review of your topic. If you have a specific topic (e.g. a specific trade deal, etc) then be sure to generalize your topic for this section. So if you were discussing NAFTA or Brexit, you would want to discuss recent literature on free trade agreements/areas for the literature review. Here you want to discuss general theories on your topic so that you can establish the necessary economic relationships.
- Use scholarly sources here (Journal Articles, Federal Reserve, IMF or NBER Studies, etc)
III. Extension. You just reviewed the literature on a specific subject. Here you should suggest an extension to the current literature (~.5 pgs). What is missing from the literature you reviewed (could be a new data set, case study, research methodology)?
IV. Conclusion. Wrap it up. Tie together the support presented above to call back to main thesis (~ .5 pg).
V. Reference Section that links to in-text citations. Use any citation format you choose (APA, MLA, etc), just be consistent throughout the paper. If you choose to, you can simply footnote within the text and forego this section.
Introduction
The United States and China are the two largest economies in the world, and their trade relationship is one of the most important in the global economy. However, the relationship has been strained in recent years due to a number of disagreements, including the trade deficit, intellectual property theft, and China's industrial policies.
In this paper, I will discuss the
US-China bilateral trade disagreement, focusing on the following topics:
- The history of the trade relationship between the United States and China
- The major disagreements that have led to the current tensions
- The economic impact of the trade war
- The potential for a resolution
Literature Review
The literature on the US-China bilateral trade disagreement is extensive. A number of studies have examined the history of the relationship, the major disagreements, and the economic impact of the trade war.
One of the most comprehensive studies of the trade relationship is "The China-US Trade War: A Comprehensive Analysis" by the Peterson Institute for International Economics. The study found that the trade war has had a significant negative impact on both the US and Chinese economies. The US economy has lost an estimated $75 billion in GDP, while the Chinese economy has lost an estimated $35 billion in GDP.
Another study, "
The Economic Impact of the US-China Trade War" by the National Bureau of Economic Research, found that the trade war has also led to job losses in both countries. The study found that the US has lost an estimated 200,000 jobs, while China has lost an estimated 1 million jobs.
Extension
The literature on the US-China bilateral trade disagreement has largely focused on the economic impact of the trade war. However, there are a number of other aspects of the relationship that deserve further study. For example, more research is needed on the impact of the trade war on innovation and technology transfer. Additionally, more research is needed on the potential for a resolution to the trade war.
Conclusion
The
US-China bilateral trade disagreement is a complex issue with no easy solutions. However, it is an important issue that deserves careful attention. The research on the trade relationship has provided valuable insights into the economic impact of the trade war. However, there is still much more that needs to be learned about the relationship. More research is needed on the impact of the trade war on innovation and technology transfer, as well as the potential for a resolution.
