On May 28-29, we held the 16th Annual Conference of LACEA’s Trade, Integration, and Growth Network (#TIGN) in Santiago, Chile. As one of #TIGN’s directors, it was a pleasure to welcome researchers and policymakers for two days of discussions on trade, integration, and growth.

The 16th #TIGN Annual Conference starts tomorrow in Santiago, Chile. Researchers and policymakers from around the world will gather at Universidad de los Andes to present and discuss innovative and policy-relevant studies on #trade, integration, and #growth. Agenda: bit.ly/4uzH7WE #FDI

The removal of Ozgur Ozel has plunged his opposition group into turmoil, sent Turkey’s stockmarket tumbling and pushed the country further down the road to one-man rule

Grinnell was delighted to host a liberal arts economic history conference this weekend organized by @mmpaker.bsky.social and colleagues. Scholars from liberal arts colleagues across the US came to present their research and connect on new methods and teaching in liberal arts environments!

Mexico, the top avocado producer, supplies 89% of U.S. avocado imports, yet fruits and vegetables are under 2% of U.S. imports. High-tech industries—autos, machinery, electronics, and instruments—make up 70% and cross the border multiple times before final assembly, compounding tariff impacts.

🚨 US 🇺🇸 -Mexico 🇲🇽 trade is deeply integrated—especially in auto manufacturing. A 25% tariff on all Mexican imports would severely disrupt the industry and damage North America's supply chain. What does that mean? Losses, plant closures & potential bankruptcies in the U.S. auto sector. 🧵👇
