Congestion and signaling in the job market, as the ratio of applications to positions continues to rise

Developing a general-equilibrium model in which the safety of a country's currency and the choice of its exchange-rate regime arise endogenously, from Tarek Alexander Hassan, Thomas M. Mertens, Jingye Wang, and Tony Zhang www.nber.org/papers/w34332

In this age of protectionist madness, it's time for a Nobel Prize awarded to the great pioneers of modern trade theory. My prediction: Elhanan Helpman, Samuel Kortum and Marc Melitz for their contributions to our understanding of international trade. In memoriam: Jonathan Eaton

Wer spielt für uns in rot und weiß?

The US economy will slow sharply in 2025; tariffs & other US policy shifts dampen activity & fuel global uncertainty. Tariffs are raising prices, disrupting supply chains, eroding real incomes, & making it harder for businesses to plan. #PIIECharts

Excellent thread by a leading trade economist on what might be valid reasons for setting tariffs. Spoiler alert: None of those reasons could justify raising US import tariffs. Instead such a policy will harm (almost) everyone involved, especially US consumers.

I'm seeing a huge spike in interest in tariffs from people who normally don't work in the economics of international trade. Here are a few useful things to know about them. (1/14)

Bilateral TD's reflect comparative advantage and are not necessarily a problem. I have a TD with my barber because I buy haircuts from him and he doesn't buy lectures from me. TD's are NOT a ripoff of our country by other countries! That's dumb. Cheers. (14/14)

What a lying 🤡 in the White House. Let me join all sane economists in saying what needs to be said: These new tariffs are so absurd and idiotic... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... The numbers have nothing to do with actual tariffs charged to the U.S., which are an order of magnitude smaller. 👇

For no particular reason, it might be a good time to repost my Starter pack of academic economists who study international trade go.bsky.app/G3dqAYg
