1/ Together with Eaton–Kortum (2002) and Melitz (2003), I put Autor, Dorn & Hanson (2013) among the most influential trade papers of the past three decades. Precisely because of that influence, it has been intensely scrutinized.

What do production networks look like at the firm-to-firm level?

In a new paper I coordinated within the ECB's ChaMP network, we build harmonised firm-to-firm networks for 5 EU countries from administrative VAT data: 3M firms, 100M+ supplier-customer relationships. 🧵

I am so happy to see this out, and I hope you will read and enjoy the paper!

It took a while, but I am proud of how it turned out!

We have been working on a package to implement it all: https://t.co/du6vAFXr8k

And I can tell you that much more is coming!

So stay tuned!

There has been quite a bit of recent discussion on the @deankarlan & co. new paper revisiting the seminal poverty traps paper. In today's blog I summarize why taking the single asset threshold model of poverty traps too literally doesn't make sense in most cases 1/2

New working paper with @AmolRaswan and Chris Udry: "The Sisyphean Pursuit of Evidence for Poverty Traps."

A central idea in development economics is that poverty can trap people. We went looking for the cleanest evidence. Here's what we found – and didn't.

Very excited to share this. One of the big challenges in studying geoeconomics is measuring how firms respond to pressure. The new GCAP Geoeconomic Monitor uses earnings calls + LLMs to track firm exposure and responses to tariffs, sanctions, and export controls in real time.
