🚨We just released a paper examining the long-terms economic impacts of "Liberation Day" tariffs.
In summary: while these tariffs may help reduce the trade deficit, they will impose significant costs on the U.S. economy after retaliation by trade partners.
The reciprocal tariff formula has its flaws…
But at least we're not trying to balance trade firm by firm, like Argentina 2013-2015.
Under the DJAI regime, importers were required to export in return. Or you couldn't import.
This policy is analyzed in this paper 👇

The staggering costs of visa inequality🚨
In 2023 rejected EU visas cost the world’s poorest €100M +, 💰 flowing from poor to rich countries, like a 'reverse remittance'.
Yet we never hear about this🤨
