Nice discussion with Mankiw and B. Stevenson on tarrifs, inflation and monetary policy. Both mention the risk that associated price shocks may affect inflation expectations adversely.
Does anyone know of recent theoretic models having that feature?

A minor PSA. In Denmark, citizens cannot vote by physical mail. I mention this, as we these days have been used as an example of a country disproving that the US is the “only country with voting by mail”.

Advance Voting
Advance voting is the preferred Danish term for postal voting, since the procedure is quite different from what is usually associated with postal voting.

Perfect timing (or maybe it is too late?) for @voxeu.org column today proposing an alternative strategy to deal with Trump's tariffs based on an alliance for open trade.
An alliance for open trade: How to counter Trump's tariffs
The US administration’s latest threat to impose sweeping new tariffs on many of its closest allies signals a renewed embrace of aggressive unilateralism and misunderstood economics. This column argues that the only effective response is a coordinated one. Unified retaliation by a coalition of like-minded countries made up of the EU, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, and South Korea – which together account for more than 50% of all US goods exports – would be impossible for Washington to ignore and would send a powerful message that the rules-based global trading system is worth defending.
