Understanding tariffs and their impact on companies and consumers Celeste Headlee discusses the basics of tariff policy and its potential impact on businesses and customers.

Just had a very nice conversation on @npr.org courtesy of Due South on @wunc.org about US Tariff policy: how we got here, what's coming, and what it means for the US.

Should be accessible to people without any background on tariffs or economics more generally.

Hamid and his work on international economics, market power, macro-labor and firm dynamics are a great addition to our research community and yet another opportunity for our graduate students to learn about frontier topics and methods in international economics.

Just back from giving a talk to 2nd year students on how to approach research, how to write a paper. Abhijit was coming after me (good thing he didn't go first, tough act to follow!)

Here are my slides...
