You can probably do it using the concordance Justin Pierce and Peter Schott created. #3 at sompks4.github.io/sub_data.html

What kind of conference do you want to go to? One with great papers, a fantastic keynote (@emilyjblanchard.bsky.social), and lunch at the top of a mountain! Many thanks to the organizers (@besedes.bsky.social) and participants for a fantastic time www.freit.org/RMET/2025/Pr...
Another great RMET conference in the books! Looking forward to the next one. Thanks to all who came. And Eugene Beaulieu for all the work on local logistics and more.

Here is my attempt to systematically think through possible consequences of new Trump tariffs
Suppose US imposes 20% tariff on all goods imports
Effect 1: higher prices for goods imported into US. This hurts US consumers by raising living costs 1/

We use a natural experiment from conflicted airspaces over Ukraine and other countries to identify the role of transport costs in gravity models. Distance has a negative effect on airborne trade, mostly through the extensive margin.
Great to see "Fly the unfriendly skies: The role of transport costs in gravity models of trade" with Jing Chu and Antu Panini Murshid published by JIE: doi.org/10.1016/j.ji....
We use info on air highways to calculate the distance actually flown by planes and then take advantage of restricted airspace to obtain a time-varying measure of distance. This allows us to estimate the distance coefficient in panel gravity estimation.
