Modeling a US-EU trade war: Tariffs won't improve US global trade balance America could narrow its merchandise trade deficit with EU countries by imposing tariffs on them, but at a cost of higher inflation and lower GDP than otherwise for the US and nearly all the other EU ...

Our modelling of 25% tariffs on the EU shows that such tariffs would backfire on the US, pushing up prices & slowing economic growth. That’s before likely EU retaliation.
And it would likely have little impact on the global US trade deficit.

"There's no money to be made in Russia," writes @eribakova.bsky.social in FT: "While some companies may slow their departures, and the smartest may use the US-Russia thaw to finalise their exit deals, it is unlikely that there will be a rush of American companies entering Russia." bit.ly/4i4sl4f

#Trump officials promised “incredible opportunities” if Moscow ended its war on Ukraine. But Russia’s economy is in chaos and the business environment is hostile. As @eribakova.bsky.social says: "The biggest problem here is that there’s no money to be made." bit.ly/4bmbtDs via @nytimes.com

Good piece by @eribakova.bsky.social

Nostalgists remember the glory days of the Russian market, between 1999 and 2008, when commodity prices boomed.

There’s no money to be made in Russia American companies shouldn’t assume that a thaw in US ties with Moscow will make doing business there easier

People have asked me recently... what if...? would you go...? My personal and strongly held opinion is that opportunists who rush back to Russia will get what they deserve, and probably won't have to wait long for it

Putin lauds the strength of Russia’s economy. Others see a mirage | CNN Since Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Russia’s economy has surpassed expectations. But some experts say this image of resilience is a mirage crafted by the Kremlin.

U.S has leverage over Russia’s economy. Sanctions have an effect. That’s why Putin is so careful to stress that rates over 20% are manageable and economy is “ok” @piie.com Ecohttps://www.cnn.com/2025/01/26/europe/putin-russia-economy-trump-analysis-intl/index.html

«Jaunā Vienotība» un «Progresīvie» atbalsta Kazāku Latvijas Bankas prezidenta amatam; Purgaile kandidatūru atsauc "Jaunā Vienotība" atbalsta Mārtiņu Kazāku Latvijas Bankas prezidenta amatam, savukārt iepriekš virzītā Santa Purgaile savu kandidatūru atsaukusi, jo tai trūkst koalīcijas atbalsta.

Latvia’s leading coalition party is back to square one. Considering the current governor, who has strengthened the Latvian CB, for the reappointment. www.lsm.lv/raksts/zinas...

Latvian coalition parties can’t agree on the Bank of Latvia Governor. The leading candidate Santa Purgaile withdraws: “Considering that my candidacy does not have the support of the coalition, I withdraw my candidacy for the position of president in order not to waste time in fruitless discussions.”

There is a fundamental misunderstanding of how these models work. All the code code is open source. What the “proprietary models” do is train some of the layers on some of the new data. That can be replicated and improved with time and computing power, it didn’t take long.

Official confirmation that the EU has renewed sanctions on Russia for six more months (Hungary, which had threatened to veto the renewal, has backed down in return for assurances on energy security)

The coalition parties have agreed to nominate the former Deputy Governor of the Bank of Latvia, Santa Purgaile, responsible for supervision, for the position of Governor of the Bank of Latvia. t.co/CqZFJYFtMB
