How Tariffs Affect Trade Deficits...

... a new paper with amazing trade economist Arnaud Costinot.

Many politicians and the general public expect tariffs to reduce imports lower imports and thus work to close a trade deficit.

Economists typically say "not so fast"...

🚨📢I am on the academic job market this year!

In my JMP, I study empirically and in theory how labor market shocks to the working-age population spill over to older households via the housing market.

Matthew Schwartzman's JMP studies how modern service firms contribute to growth in developing countries. Growth is driven by the labor productivity gap between modern & traditional services, and is amplified by income effects on consumer demand.

Stephan Waizmann's job market paper studies how AI affects firm-consumer dynamics. He shows that opaque algorithms yield higher profits than transparent ones and may be better for consumer surplus as well.

"This is what we owe..."

Esther Duflo of @JPAL @MITEcon @MIT at #YCEEG23 argues the world must commit now to a mechanism to raise money for a fund (like #LossAndDamage) exclusively destined for low-income countries.

She also estimates the amount.
