These (tweet below) are *small* effects!

I'm aware that there are contexts in which we think of them as large effects.

Nevertheless, they're small: under standard models, tariffs are just not a very dramatic thing.

If you think they are a bigger deal than this, you need different models.

A new analysis from the Tax Policy Center estimates that imposing a 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico would reduce after-tax incomes by nearly 1% in 2026, costing the average household the equivalent of $930 in lost income.

I am on the job market, which seems like a great opportunity for my first post on here! My job market paper is about failures of contingent thinking -- the act of reasoning about hypothetical events. 1/

Supply chain disruption is a big deal and this paper's always one of my favs. :)
On Tuesday, 36 US ports will be shut down by the largest shipping strike in living memory.

This could recreate the chaotic supply chain crisis of 2021-2022. Are we ready?
