Proposed U.S. - South Korea Free Trade Agreement: Potential National Sector-Specific and State Export Effects [June 20, 2011]
From the Summary: "In February 2011, the United States and South Korea finalized negotiations on a bilateral free trade agreement. As a result, the Obama Administration is expected to submit implementing legislation to the 112th Congress on the proposed U.S.-South Korea Free Trade Agreement (KORUS FTA). This report addresses congressional interest in the effects of this agreement on exports by state to South Korea by using two sets of data. Data developed by the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) are used to identify the possible direction of trade change for 40 industries at the national level. These results are paired with lists of each state's top 10 exports which provide a guide to the possible direction of trade for various state industries as a result of tariff elimination and tariff rate quota reductions under the proposed KORUS FTA. Improved access for services, liberalized investment regimes, and elimination of non-tariff barriers for a few goods and agricultural products are not captured in this analysis. […] The discussion in this report is limited to presenting the effects of the KORUS FTA on U.S. exports to South Korea on a national level with possible implications at the state level. It does not present data on U.S. imports from South Korea at the state level because of data issues. Nevertheless, increases in imports in some sectors and in some states could be higher than increases in exports as a consequence of the FTA."

United States as a Net Debtor Nation: Overview of the International Investment Position [December 17, 2013]
"The international investment position of the United States is an annual measure of the assets Americans own abroad and the assets foreigners own in the United States. The net position, or the difference between the two, sometimes is referred to as a measure of U.S. international indebtedness. This designation is not strictly correct, because the net international investment position reveals the difference between the total assets Americans own abroad and the total amount of assets foreigners own in the United States. These assets generate flows of capital into and out of the economy that have important implications for the value of the dollar in international exchange markets. Some Members of Congress and some in the public have expressed concerns about the U.S. net international investment position because of the role foreign investors are playing in U.S. capital markets and the potential for large outflows of income and services payments. Some observers also argue that the U.S. reliance on foreign capital inflows places the economy in a vulnerable position."

Global Trade Imbalances: Overview and Issues [August 21, 2019]
From the Document: "On July 17, 2019, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) published its annual report on global trade that identifies countries with 'excessive' current account balances--both surpluses and deficits--and exchange rates that are 'misaligned.' The current account is a broad measure of a country's global economic engagement and is comprised of trade in goods, services, and official flows. [...] The IMF report indicates that 35% to 45% of countries had balances that were 'excessive,' and that balances of about 3.0% of world gross domestic product (GDP)--both surpluses and deficits--remained relatively constant in 2018. Advanced economies, particularly the United States and the United Kingdom, account for the largest share of negative balances, or deficits, while China's positive current account and exchange rate were deemed to be in line with fundamentals. Other trade specialists argue that extensive cross-border capital flows have reduced the usefulness of the current account as a monitoring device and that policy prescriptions based on current account balances--and trade balances as the largest component of the current account--may be counterproductive."

Deadlines, Programs, and Regulations Mandated by FIRRMA [Updated January 14, 2020]
From the Overview: "On August 13, 2018, President Trump signed the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018 (FIRRMA) (Subtitle A, Title XVII, P.L. 115-232). Various provisions became effective upon implementation, while interim rules for some provisions became effective on October 11, 2018. Among other items, FIRRMA required the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) to meet certain deadlines in programs and reporting and develop new regulations. In October 2018, the Department of the Treasury published in the 'Federal Register' preliminary rules implementing certain provisions of FIRRMA through a pilot program, which took effect on November 10. FIRRMA's implementation may raise several questions for the 116th Congress, such as the extent to which modernization of CFIUS and its review of foreign direct investment transactions for their national security implications will safeguard U.S. national security interests, particularly those related to strategic competition for leading edge technology. Final regulations were published January 13, 2020, and are expected to be implemented by February 13, 2020, on certain real estate transactions and noncontrolling investments."

From the Overview: "On August 13, 2018, President Trump signed the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018 (FIRRMA) (Subtitle A, Title XVII, P.L. 115-232). FIRRMA required significant changes to the jurisdiction and processes of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). Among other items, FIRRMA required CFIUS to meet certain deadlines in programs and reporting, and to develop new regulations. In October 2018, the Department of the Treasury published in the 'Federal Register' preliminary rules implementing certain provisions of FIRRMA related to critical technologies through a pilot program, which took effect on November 10. In September 2019, Treasury issued proposed regulations implementing key parts of FIRRMA related to CFIUS's expanded jurisdiction to review certain real estate transactions, and noncontrolling and other investments. Final regulations were published on January 13, 2020, and became effective on February 13, 2020."
