It's now official! I'm promoted to full professor.
I'm grateful to co-authors, colleagues, advisors, friends, and family who supported me along this journey.
Here’s a 3-min talk from the 2021 chair ceremony (starts at 45’) reflecting on that journey.

The president is invoking IEEPA to impose measures that affect the livelihoods and welfare of millions—without a real emergency, other than created by the administration itself through a series of executive actions.

Grinnell was delighted to host a liberal arts economic history conference this weekend organized by @mmpaker.bsky.social
and colleagues. Scholars from liberal arts colleagues across the US came to present their research and connect on new methods and teaching in liberal arts environments!

Mexico, the top avocado producer, supplies 89% of U.S. avocado imports, yet fruits and vegetables are under 2% of U.S. imports. High-tech industries—autos, machinery, electronics, and instruments—make up 70% and cross the border multiple times before final assembly, compounding tariff impacts.
haleutar.bsky.social
Nearly 90% of Mexico’s exports to the U.S. come from supply chain trade, led by foreign MNEs.
Auto manufacturing is the most critical among them.

A 25% tariff on ALL Mexican imports would have a compounded effect, severely disrupting the transportation equipment industry and damaging North America’s deeply integrated supply chain.

Auto parts move back and forth 7-8 times before the final product is assembled.

📌 Example:
🔹Aluminum engine block cast in Saltillo, 🇲🇽 → Detroit 🇺🇸 for precision machining
🔹 Cylinder head cast in Monterrey → Machined in the U.S. → Sent back to Mexico for subassembly

🚨 US 🇺🇸 -Mexico 🇲🇽 trade is deeply integrated—especially in auto manufacturing.

A 25% tariff on all Mexican imports would severely disrupt the industry and damage North America's supply chain.

What does that mean? Losses, plant closures & potential bankruptcies in the U.S. auto sector. 🧵👇

Fun facts about Trump's proposed US tariffs on Mexico:

*40% of Mexico's exports to the US are by US MNEs exporting from Mexico

*Over 60% of what these US companies in Mexico import comes from the US itself
