Prices of everyday core goods, which haven’t risen in years, now are creeping upward, even before many of President Trump’s threatened tariffs have fully landed https://t.co/0VlSAjwOy9

Economists point to the confusion and uncertainty over tariffs as the reason for the stock market's recent decline. https://t.co/d1FG3R9B8U

@KyleLHandley Speaking of hobbies: comic books will get more expensive too! Most American comic books are printed in Canada.

Economists say tariffs could get in the way of Trump's promise to make housing more affordable. https://t.co/yQbsVPm2kW

It seems that unfortunately the aluminum sector is still struggling even after the tariffs in 2018. I am sure this new round of tariffs will work.

The tariffs are targeting a rule that allows Chinese retailers like Shein and Temu to avoid paying duties on packages worth $800 or less. https://t.co/xZuBErkGzY

Retaliatory tariffs & global supply chains mean the standard Econ 101 models are too rosey argues @BrianCAlbrecht. It's even worse. In the standard graph, domestic producers are winners. In reality, most producers lose, too.

@Tfpiasecki Way to go, Teresa!

[Brian Albrecht @BrianCAlbrecht]

You, a genius reasoning from accounting identities: “Tariffs raise GDP by reducing imports.”

Me, a humble reader of economics research: “Tariffs seem to reduce exports.”

(1/3) Oren Cass had a piece recently in the Atlantic (https://t.co/0Ij7qLc1ah) that mischaracterizes what we know (and don’t know) about tariffs. Maurice Obstfeld and I respond here (the Atlantic declined to publish).

Really great piece- economists predict what would happen because they studied what actually happened. It's a social "science" because our conclusions are based on studying data.

[Dominic Pino @DominicJPino]

Economists understand tariffs just fine.

@oren_cass does not.

We know what would happen because we studied what happened! Economists- studying the "real world"- have shown that this tariff policy would be devastating to the US economy. The offered justifications in this opinion piece just don't cut it. END

[Ryan Monarch @ryan_monarch]

If this is the best case for Trump's tariff agenda, it is not convincing. The piece contains half-truths and distorts both Trump's stated policy and what we have learned about tariffs. A few thoughts from a trade economist 🧵

[Ryan Monarch @ryan_monarch]

And plenty of economic research has shown that US buyers are the ones who faced higher prices (and thus boosted government revenue) from Trump's tariffs. https://t.co/xHCraUL75Q 11/N
