The Harvard Globalization Survey: Economic and Political Responses to Global Markets
October 5 - 6, 2007
This is closed to the public.

This is an invitation only workshop to work on the design of the Harvard Globalization Survey. The HGS project is aimed at examining the way governments, firms, employees, and non-governmental groups are responding to globalization. The project involves coordinated surveys of a sample of firms and employees in various industries, matching these with surveys of trade associations and labor unions in the same industries, and surveys of legislators representing electoral districts in which the industries are concentrated. The project focuses on the challenges posed by international trade, investment, and immigration flows, and how various actors are responding in economic and political ways, either by resisting or accelerating adjustment.
