Title:

The Evolution of Semiconductor Trade Policy

Abstract:

Semiconductor trade policy developed differently in the United States and Japan. I will be discussing these evolutions, in the context of both traditional and strategic trade policy. I will be focusing on the economic assumptions of these two types of policy, and how these assumptions apply (or do not apply) to the semiconductor industry.
