Using a data set covering more than 120 countries spanning several decades, this paper employs a synthetic difference in difference estimator to study whether non-trade provisions on labor standards, environmental protection and civil and human rights in trade agreements yield improvements in corresponding indicators. The paper distinguishes between binding (enforceable) and non-binding provisions and investigates linkages between non-trade provisions and official development assistance. The analysis finds no evidence that provisions related labour or civil rights improved the associated outcome indicators, while evidence on environmental outcomes is mixed. Official development assistance is significantly greater with non-binding environmental and civil rights provisions, but not with labor standards.

And yes, there is unprecedented evidence that Topgrading delivers the promised results. We have dozens of documented case studies and hundreds of informal accounts, from Global 100 companies to fast-growing start-ups, that achieved an average of 85% success hiring high performers. Tens of thousands of managers have accelerated their careers using this process to ensure their teams boast mostly A Players. And Topgrading methods utilize hard, factual candidate information to minimize bias and discrimination. We've written Foolproof Hiring to get you started in your quest to hire better. Think of it as first aid for your hiring ailments. You will learn methods that can produce quick improvement, but, continuing the metaphor, reading this book will not turn you into a "Hiring Brain Surgeon." Some keys, such as in-depth interviewing, require more learning and practice to master. Think about the training necessary to become an EMT versus the education and experience necessary to work as a surgeon; the same principle applies here. Using the solutions in the book to get some quick hiring wins will motivate you and your team to keep learning and practicing the methods. As you continue to improve your hiring success rate you will achieve a really strong, cohesive team that not only has fun, but gets better results.
