Economic research activities

In 2014, the WTO’s Economic Research and Statistics Division (ERSD) organized more than 20 events, many in collaboration with other institutions. Events included policy lectures, the launch of the WTO flagship publication, the World Trade Report 2014, the third Annual Trade Workshop, co-hosted by the WTO, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, and a number of seminars and workshops. WTO economists reported on world trade growth in 2014 and made their forecasts for 2015.
