On Topic

Exports, and their promotion, are a crucial component of economic recovery in the United States. By seizing opportunities in new markets, firms can create jobs and help boost the country’s competitiveness in the global economy. Brookings analyses on the export sector explore these goals and what can be done to achieve them at the federal, state and regional levels.
