I am presenting a paper on how the US- Vietnam Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA 2001) affects labor market power distortions in Vietnam’s manufacturing at the Vietnam online seminar organized by @BrianMccaig . Please attend if you are interested.
Reductions in U.S. tariffs on Vietnamese imports reduced labor market distortions in Vietnam.
Join us on Oct 29, 11 am ET, for the next Vietnam online seminar by Dr. Hoang Pham.

More than you want to know about McKinley and the tariff, but beautifully produced!

I have several papers that explore tariff wars using economic models. Here’s what they tell us about likely outcomes (🧵)
TLDR: All countries ultimately lose. While the overall impact isn’t catastrophic for larger economies like the US, it’ll be devastating for small countries.

It's high time to have another look at interesting papers like this one!

🚨🚨New paper on "Bank financing of global supply chains," with @lalfaro, Mariya Brussevich, and @CMinoiu. Looking forward to presenting it @ASSAMeeting and at the @sffed next week.
We study how (specialized) banks helped the great reallocation following the 2018-2019 trade tensions. We make 3 main points:
1. In reallocating their sourcing from Chinese suppliers to other Asian countries, U.S. importers face large search costs ($1.9 million, 5% of annual revenue).
2. In response to the tariff-induced input cost shock, tariff-hit importers increased their demand for bank credit
3. Tariff-hit firms with specialized banks (those offering specialized trade finance services to Asian markets) were 15 pps more likely and 3 months faster to establish new supplier relationships than firms with other banks.

In economics, editors, referees, and authors often behave as if a published paper should reflect some kind of authoritative consensus.
So valuable debate happens in secret, and the resulting paper is an opaque compromise with anonymous co-authors called referees.

I am delighted to let the world know about this upcoming ASSA panel session on *the future of gravity models* that my colleague Maia Linask and I are organizing, in conjunction with @itfaconference.
It would be nice to see a writeup or publication of your discussion in this section Tom. Thanks for sharing the info!
Both prominent specific-factors model (short-) and Heckscher-Ohlin model (long-run) have this distributional implications. The problem is how the model is interpreted and political economy of redistribution. Most textbook models assume tariffs are inefficient in redistribution.

Very nice paper that can show the impact of port strike.
With the focus on the port strike, it’s a great time to share @WoanFoongWong and mine new research on multimodal transport networks. We show how crucial it is to model mode choice and disaggregated congestion in general equilibrium to capture the full economic impacts. 🧵 1/n
