Interesting: Konhee Chang studies what happens in suburban neighborhoods in Florida when large-scale property owners move in and convert suburban homes to rentals. 1/
had a fantastic time in guangzhou presenting at the @WorldBank's #infra4dev conference! first pic feat. @jenn_slg
USTR: "The elasticity of import prices with respect to tariffs, φ, is 0.25. The recent experience with U.S. tariffs on China has demonstrated that tariff passthrough to retail prices was low (Cavallo et al, 2021)." Cavallo et al: φ is 0.945. aeaweb.org/articles?id=10…
there's the rationale

partnered with the brilliant @TBourany to explore how leakage effects through international goods and energy trade curb the efficacy of unilateral climate policies, create winners and losers, but can amplify the gains of policy coordination. check it out!

Pauses in PhD admissions at Pitt, Vanderbilt, and USC. The US will never be able to compete with authoritarian countries on a lot of dimensions. But our two biggest strengths over them were always immigration & our universities. And now we’re eroding both before our eyes.

I have a new piece in @ForeignAffairs titled, "The Post-Neoliberal Delusion and the Tragedy of Bidenomics". They were generous about giving me a lot of words but were less generous with charts--so this long thread partially rectifies that. (And links to the piece at the end.)
We've just opened a new BFI pre-doc position through the International Economics and Economic Geography Initiative: job-boards.greenhouse.io/universityofch… Come work with us! The trade and spatial group at UChicago is a top-notch place to start your academic career!
I’ve created a dashboard that projects potential GDP losses for countries if ongoing tariff escalations trigger a global trade war. I’ll be updating it soon with the latest data. alashkar.pages.iu.edu/GlobalTariffWa…
I have several papers that explore tariff wars using economic models. Here’s what they tell us about likely outcomes (🧵) TLDR: All countries ultimately lose. While the overall impact isn’t catastrophic for larger economies like the US, it’ll be devastating for small countries.
some phenomenology for the age of vibes. great read open.substack.com/pub/samkriss/p…
this is why we use extreme value distributions

thank you! it has been a terrific experience to work on this project with an incredible advisor
Jordan’s paper is impressive. It shows us the importance of urban cost for development using evidence for more than 10000 cities in the world. A must read. Jordan should be in your interview list this season.
.@jordanr_k studies spatial & trade economics. His JMP shows how barriers to urban expansion and high commuting costs inhibit development. Reducing urban costs would boost welfare by 66% in low-income nations and help nations adapt to climate change. jrosenthalkay.github.io
