About
Antoni Estevadeordal is a leading authority on international trade, regional integration, and economic development, with a particular focus on Latin America and the Caribbean. His work has profoundly shaped policy debates on how trade agreements, value chains, and institutional frameworks can drive inclusive growth. A key contribution is his analysis of the "new regionalism," demonstrating how deep integration—beyond tariff reduction—requires harmonizing standards, services, and investment rules. He has also pioneered research on the relationship between trade openness and inequality, showing that complementary domestic policies are essential for ensuring the gains from trade are broadly shared. Estevadeordal’s impact is reflected in his highly cited publications, including influential studies on the political economy of preferential trade agreements and the role of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) in fostering regional cooperation, where he served as Manager of the Integration and Trade Sector. His work has directly informed the design of trade facilitation programs and regional infrastructure initiatives across the Americas. Notably, he has been a leading voice on the future of work in the context of automation and digital trade, exploring how Latin America can harness technological change for productive integration. His research continues to shape the agenda for a more resilient and equitable global trading system.
