Episode 49: Supporting Trust and Trade Openness in Covid-19 Vaccines – What should we do? With Simon Evenett

In this episode, Fredrik Erixon and Simon Evenett talk about trade and vaccines. What are the consequences of vaccines export restrictions – and how do they relate to the value chain of vaccines production? What better measures can governments take to improve trust and transparency, and stimulate a faster scale up of vaccines production?

Simon Evenett, professor of international trade and economic development at the University of St. Gallen and, among other things, co-author of a new study from the EUI on production, trade and global linkages in vaccines: The Covid-19 Vaccine Production Club: Will Value Chains Temper Nationalism?
