Global Competitiveness
Globalization has benefited the United States in many ways, and CED has been a strong supporter of international agreements to promote trade and investment. Greater two-way exchanges of goods, services, and capital have lifted incomes both at home and abroad, reinforcing a virtuous circle of economic growth while reducing global poverty. Our research program emphasizes both domestic and international issues that affect global competition, such as regulation, energy policy, and negotiation of free-trade agreements with our global partners. In addition, CED research urges business leaders to make women's advancement a priority issue because it makes America and American companies more competitive.
