Explore graduate student research with implications for Kansas
The 18th Capitol Graduate Research Summit kicks off today, Thursday, Feb. 18, featuring 10 Kansas State University graduate students whose research address topics with important implications for issues in the state of Kansas. Presentation topics include agricultural engineering, chemotherapy, student mental health, economics, crop management, and health communication.
The statewide summit includes current research from graduate students at Kansas State University, Emporia State University, Fort Hays State University, Pittsburg State University, University of Kansas, the University of Kansas Medical Center, and Wichita State University. Kansas legislators have been invited to view the students presentations to learn about the value of research conducted at our institutions.

Five years after the Brexit referendum, research has evaluated its impact so far on UK trade. The findings show that the ongoing Brexit uncertainty has already reduced UK trade in goods and services before any actual policy changes took place. This disintegration is present in UK trade, with countries potentially affected by trade policy changes including the EU and other UK preferential trade partners. Firms in these countries faced increased trade policy uncertainty, leading to depressed export investments.
We discuss the importance of policy stability and commitments, and their effects on business decisions and investment generally (Bloom et al. 2018, 2019). We focus on recent evidence drawn for the impact of Brexit uncertainty on UK trade in goods and services and conclude with some policy remarks.

exports for the u.s. that s something that you re seeing in the manufacturing numbers and the export numbers. the thing that we can control, we can t necessarily make germany not be in recession, is to resolve some of this trade policy uncertainty. so that s the thing i would be advising the president to do right now. told they have a chance to thursday when the chinese delegation comes. kevin, finally, i m not going to ask you to talk politics, that s not your game. i m going to ask directly about the economic implications of a potential impeachment of the president. the president says the stock market will tank if he is impeached. do you agree with the assessment? you know, i think the political uncertainty tends to be very bad for markets and bad for the economy. but right now if you look at it, there s not been a lot of movement. so i think that probably what s going on is that markets are factoring in that there s good morning something that happens in the house but that it s
