Doubling steel and alum tariffs will ripple through the economy in unexpected ways. My research - cond. accepted at American Economic Review - shows auto manufacturers, which both make and finance vehicles, passed through some of the 2018 metal tariffs to consumers through higher borrowing costs.

Punchline: Tariffs pass through to American consumers with both higher vehicle prices and higher financing costs.

Cars Were Already Unaffordable Before Tariffs

President Trump’s auto tariffs are about to give another boost to car prices that have already surged over the past four years. That will be an additional burden on household budgets.

Good day, I think. 2nd round R&R🥳at top journal. Only minor tire fires on unrelated conference logistics. As my friend said, "net win".

@wagonomics.bsky.social is on BlueSky! Definitely the Venn diagram intersection of smart, fun, and interesting. (He also like - loves 🙄 - golf.) Follow him anyway.

Great resource!

My paper w/ Nadya Malenko -- "Board Dynamics over the Startup Lifecycle" -- is (finally!) forthcoming, so we've released startup boards data: github.com/michaelewens... It provides VC-backed startup board composition: VC directors, executives, and independents. Paper here: osf.io/preprints/so...

Welcome @alexchinco.bsky.social to BlueSky! Alex is one of the best writers in finance academia. I don't know if he'll post regularly, but I'd encourage everyone to follow him.

Ok #EconSky, I have two more squares to fill in for this year's job market reference letter Bingo. What else should we be looking for as we read lots of applications?

Look forward to my FRA early ideas presentation: "Driving a Bargain" coauthored with Tong Liu (MIT) and Denis Sosyura (ASU). We document that managerial bargaining ability affects price dispersion in corporate contracts.

Tony Cookson@profcookson.bsky.social · 2y ago

I am super excited for the FRA this weekend (and honored to help put it together): fraconference.com/current-prog... One of my most favorite features is the early ideas session on Sunday afternoon. Always interesting & great interaction between authors and audience.

Elon Musk's obsession with Mars has little to do with financial returns or humanity's long-term survival. It's about being the man who puts the first person on Mars so that he'll have similar fame as Neil Armstrong. Otherwise, he'll just be remembered as yet another rich guy.

This is one of the best papers on discrimination in recent years. Read it, read it again. More and more evidence that introducing subjectivity at almost any stage increases discrimination.

Soumitra Shukla@soumitrashukla.bsky.social · 2y ago

Subjective assessments of culture or 'fit' often have an enormous class bias. New paper showing how personal interviews often allow employers to discriminate against minorities. soumitrashukla.github.io/research.html
