We should really be worried when even the FT provides a platform for @michaelpettis.bsky.social crude thoughts on taxing capital flows.

The CEP/LSE/Warwick Junior Trade Workshop is back on Sept 22! Accepts papers from PhD students and postdocs on the job market in Jan 2026. Submit by July 27 at [email protected]. It's an excellent chance to get feedback towards the market and it's funded!

Was die EFTA kann sollte auch die EU hinkriegen.
Was für die Schweiz gut ist, sollte auch für die EU passen.
Österreich sollte seinen Widerstand gegen das Handelsabkommen mit den Mercosur-Staaten aufgeben und sich für eine schnelle Ratifizierung einsetzen.

Amazing 8th edition of the Workshop on International Economic Networks ending in Vienna today. We started the day with keynote on quantitative geoeconomics b Isabelle Mejean, followed by a PhD student session (Hiroyuki Asai and Luca Lorenzini) and talks by Agostina Brinatti and Eric Verhoogen.

Nice to see our paper on China’s rare earth export restrictions featured on the NBER website: www.nber.org

Industrial policy can unintentionally spur #innovation abroad. China's export restrictions on rare earth elements led to a surge in innovation & exports in downstream sectors outside #China.

Ein paar Gedanken zur Makroökonomie der Trump Zölle:

Ale Cunat and @zymek.bsky.social show how to correctly compute asymmetric trade barriers in the Review of Economic Studies. One can use their model to explain why Trump's tariffs do not eliminate aggregate imbalances, even if they may reshuffle bilateral ones.

Very happy to see my paper „Trade and Domestic Policies Under Monopolistic Competition“ finally published in the Economic Journal. Joint work with @alessiacampolmi.bsky.social and Chiara Forlati. Here is a link to the article:

1/ NEW RESEARCH: Our study reveals 46% of pesticides embedded in EU agricultural consumption originate from imports, despite imports constituting only 17% of consumption. This includes substances prohibited in the EU. This regulatory gap fuels leakage effects and hurts EU competitiveness 🧵
