Doubling steel and alum tariffs will ripple through the economy in unexpected ways. My research - cond. accepted at American Economic Review - shows auto manufacturers, which both make and finance vehicles, passed through some of the 2018 metal tariffs to consumers through higher borrowing costs.
Punchline: Tariffs pass through to American consumers with both higher vehicle prices and higher financing costs.
Enjoyed speaking with @wsj.com's Joe Pinsker about the potential cost of the new vehicle tariffs to American consumers.

Cars Were Already Unaffordable Before Tariffs
President Trump’s auto tariffs are about to give another boost to car prices that have already surged over the past four years. That will be an additional burden on household budgets.

Look forward to my FRA early ideas presentation: "Driving a Bargain" coauthored with Tong Liu (MIT) and Denis Sosyura (ASU). We document that managerial bargaining ability affects price dispersion in corporate contracts.
I am super excited for the FRA this weekend (and honored to help put it together):

One of my most favorite features is the early ideas session on Sunday afternoon. Always interesting & great interaction between authors and audience.

Perhaps worth noting that many of the older names endure due to their contributions to the arts and education...
Elon Musk's obsession with Mars has little to do with financial returns or humanity's long-term survival.
It's about being the man who puts the first person on Mars so that he'll have similar fame as Neil Armstrong. Otherwise, he'll just be remembered as yet another rich guy.
