New paper I’ve coauthored with Bandyopadhyay, Basu and Chau, which looks at challenges created by task offshoring to enforcement of trade agreements and dispute settlement rules, and the role of well-enforced labor standards in such circumstances. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

More than 80 Harvard faculty members have signed on to a pledge to donate 10% of their paycheck to support staff and students, as long as the University resists Trump's unlawful demands. I am so proud of my colleagues. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

This is so true and equally valid of Trump’s other fellow travelers: “free speech purists” who hate progressives more than they love free speech; “economic nationalists” who hate foreigners more than they love their own; and the tech billionaires who hate regulation more than they love science.

If you believe in government efficiency, the first thing to do is to eliminate tariffs, not keep escalating them. And, Elon keeps invoking Milton Friedman. Friedman hated tariffs. Tariffs lead to consumption efficiency losses and production efficiency losses.

Elon Musk: “It will be fine long term.” John Maynard Keynes: “In the long run we are all dead.”

Most divisive Thanksgiving message from a president I have ever read. Clearly doesn’t intend to be president for everyone - only for half the country, who is clearly less powerful than president for the whole country. Obvious not trying to unite us. Very sad!!!

Dear Elon, when two black holes seeking attention (gravity) get too close, the more massive one absorbs the smaller! Between you and Donald J. Trump, what's your bet? My bet is on the latter. He has already destroyed anything that got too close. Just ask anyone who got too close.

I have been using this book (all editions so far) for my high-enrollment Economics of Globalization class for many years (roughly 2 decades). Now I co-teach this class with my colleague, Ryan Monarch.
