SCOTT LINCICOME
Scott Lincicome is the vice president of general economics and Cato’s Herbert A. Stiefel Center for Trade Policy Studies. He writes on international and domestic economic issues, including international trade; subsidies and industrial policy; manufacturing and global supply chains; and economic dynamism.
Lincicome also is a senior visiting lecturer at Duke University Law School, where he has taught a course on international trade law, and he previously taught international trade policy as a visiting lecturer at Duke. Prior to joining Cato, Lincicome spent two decades practicing international trade law at White & Case LLP, where he litigated national and multilateral trade disputes and advised multinational corporations on how to optimize their transactions and business practices consistent with global trade rules and national regulations.
From 1998 to 2001, Lincicome was a trade policy research assistant at Cato; he became an adjunct scholar in 2013. During that time, Lincicome authored or coauthored several policy papers, as well as numerous op-eds on trade and economic issues. He is routinely featured on TV, radio, and print media.
Lincicome has a BA in political science from the University of Virginia and a JD from the university’s School of Law.
Seismic economic and geopolitical events have caused radical changes to global trade policy and the trillions of dollars in annual commerce based thereon. With a unique understanding of the law, economics, and politics of trade and based on decades of experience in the field, Lincicome will give audiences a rich understanding of how policy and supply chains have changed over the last decade, the risks and opportunities that remain, and how governments and companies can navigate these turbulent times.
Contrary to the conventional wisdom, the world is not “de‐globalizing,” and the supposed “death of globalization” has been wildly oversold – even in Donald Trump’s America. Instead, global trade continues to expand, especially in digital services, and most governments continue to sign new trade agreements. These and other moves reflect the reality that companies, individuals, and governments still highly value the economic, social, and geopolitical benefits provided by increased global integration, and they’ll keep pursuing those gains – with or without the United States.
