Stiglitz warned that the [[Trans-Pacific Partnership]] (TPP) presented "grave risks" and it "serves the interests of the wealthiest."<ref>{{cite news|title=Secrecy surrounds Trans-Pacific Partnership talks|url=https://www.smh.com.au/national/secrecy-surrounds-transpacific-partnership-talks-20131208-2yzea.html|access-date=December 9, 2013|newspaper=[[Sydney Morning Herald]]|date=December 9, 2013}}</ref><ref name="NYT-20140315">{{cite news |last=Stiglitz |first=Joseph E. |title=On the Wrong Side of Globalization |url=http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/03/15/on-the-wrong-side-of-globalization |date=March 15, 2014 |work=[[The New York Times]] |access-date=March 17, 2014 }}</ref>

Stiglitz also opposed the [[Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership]] (TTIP) trade deal between the [[European Union]] (EU) and the [[United States]], and has argued that the [[United Kingdom]] should consider [[United Kingdom withdrawal from the European Union|its withdrawal from the EU]] in [[2016 United Kingdom European Union membership referendum|the 2016 referendum on the matter]] if TTIP passes, saying that "the [[wikt:stricture|strictures]] imposed by TTIP would be sufficiently averse to the functioning of government that it would make me think over again about whether membership of the EU was a good idea".<ref>{{cite news|last1=Simons|first1=Ned|title=UK Should Consider Brexit If EU Signs TTIP, Suggests Labour Economics Adviser Joseph Stiglitz|url=http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2016/03/02/uk-should-consider-brexit-if-eu-signs-ttip-suggests-labour-economics-adviser_n_9368110.html|access-date=14 March 2016|work=The Huffington Post|date=2 March 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last1=Sheffield|first1=Hazel|title=EU referendum: UK could be better off leaving if TTIP passes, Joseph Stiglitz says|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/eu-referendum-joseph-stiglitz-ttip-labour-transatlantic-trade-investment-partnership-a6907806.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220617/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/eu-referendum-joseph-stiglitz-ttip-labour-transatlantic-trade-investment-partnership-a6907806.html |archive-date=2022-06-17 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|access-date=14 March 2016|work=The Independent|date=2 March 2016}}</ref>
