A rare instance when a beautiful Econ graph (offer curves) comes to life. The US and China start at the free trade equilibrium A, then the US impose tariffs and improve their terms of trade at B, then China reciprocates at C, and so on, while the volume of trade converges to 0.

This description made me like this paper even more! Sergei is on the market this year, so if you like prediction markets, information aggregation and acquisition, you should take a look at him!
