  <title><![CDATA[Besedes Presents NAFTA Trade Research in Helsinki]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>Tibor&nbsp;Besedes, an associate professor in the Ivan Allen College School of Economics, presented his research on the three-country North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) during the European Trade Study Group Conference, which took place in Helsinki, Finland from September 9 - 11, 2016. The European Trade Study Group Conference is the largest annual gathering of trade economists in the world.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Besedes&nbsp;presented his paper&nbsp;&ldquo;Phase out Tariff, Phase in Trade?,&rdquo;&nbsp;which looks at whether different speeds in reductions of tariffs that took place after NAFTA have a differential impact on the growth of U.S. imports from NAFTA trading partners.</p>

         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
