🚨 New KITE analysis on the EU–India trade deal: Simulations show sizable trade effects from the “mother of all deals” linking ~1/4 of global GDP and ~1/5 of the world’s population. Beyond gains, it strengthens supply-chain diversification and market access in an uncertain global economy.

The long-awaited EU–India FTA could boost bilateral trade by 41–65%, raise real incomes on both sides, & reduce reliance on riskier markets - linking economies that represent 21.1% of global GDP. A major win amid global trade fragmentation 👉 www.kielinstitut.de/publications...

Teures Eigentor: US-Strafzölle treffen vor allem die eigene Wirtschaft: 96 % der Kosten tragen Importeure & Verbraucher in den USA, nicht ausländische Exporteure, wie neue Forschung von @julianhi.nz, @aaron-lohmann.bsky.social, @hendrikmahlkow.com & Anna Vorwig zeigt 👇
Eigentor: Amerikaner bezahlen fast vollständig für Trumps Zölle
Entgegen der Rhetorik der US-Regierung bleiben die Kosten der US-Strafzölle nicht an Exporteuren im Ausland hängen, sondern treffen die amerikanische Wirtschaft selbst. Importeure und Verbraucher in d...

Ein „Deal“ im #Handelsstreit 🇺🇸🇨🇳 könnte Zollpausen & Ausnahmen bei Exportkontrollen bringen, sagt @julianhi.nz #tagesthemen. Beide Seiten können gewinnen & verlieren, Zollniveau bleibt höher als vor Trump. Größtes Plus für 🇪🇺: weniger Unsicherheit 👇

Simulations with the KITE Model show a joint response would raise US costs by 34% vs. no retaliation—reaching ~60% of the effect of a global reaction. In contrast, going it alone is less effective and riskier, esp. for integrated economies like 🇨🇦 & 🇲🇽 👇 @emanuelornelas.bsky.social @ckhead.bsky.social
The US is playing countries off against each other. A coalition of the 🇪🇺,🇨🇦,🇲🇽,🇧🇷 & 🇰🇷 could put real pressure on Washington with a joint response. They would have strong leverage against tariffs. Read more in the new KPB 👉 ifw-kiel.de/publications...

There is talk of an EU-US trade deal. The EU shouldn't agree to a WTO rule-breaking shakedown that undermines the multilateral system. Instead, it should build a coalition to push back.👇

NB: The piece is written by a coalition of coauthors from Canada, Brazil, France and Germany.

🚨 KITE Insta-Analys: Trump just suggested additional 50% tariff on all goods imports from EU. This one would hurt the EU: 🇩🇪 Germany real output falls –0.78%, 🇪🇺 EU27 –0.66%, 🇺🇸 US -1.51%. In EU hardest hit sector is transportation (automotive, aircraft, etc.): -5% real production. 1/n
