I visited the University of Basel last December and sat down with Rolf Weder to discuss several aspects of my research and of global trade. A lot has changed in the last 4 months, but some of what I say may still be of relevance😅

1/ 📢 New paper alert! 📄 Together with Vitalii Tubdenov, we propose a measure of the "Average Period of Production" (APP) to capture the temporal dimension of production processes. It is inspired by Böhm-Bawerk’s capital theory.

What would be the impact of Trump's announced 25% tariff on all steel and aluminium imports? Lydia Cox's (coxlydia.com) job-market paper, now an R&R at the American Economic Review, provides good guidance. Latest version is here (coxlydia.com/papers/cox_s...).

Drawing on my research with quantitative economic models, here's a thread explaining the textbook logic for why "tariffs are bad" for revenue generation.
