Who pays for tariffs? It’s a simple question that’s surprisingly tough to answer. We often see only a rough aggregate measure of prices at the border or the retail price, missing many steps in the chain. We tackle this in a new paper w Aaron Flaaen, Ali Hortacsu, Felix Tintelnot and Daniel Xu

In 1921 Thomas Edison created an employment test that absolutely captivated America - 146 questions that he asked potential hires. Einstein famously failed it. I used AI to turn it into an annotated multiple choice test. Try it (though it is very 1921): prismatic-dolphin-ba5e42.netlify.app

We just spent 6 months to add 1 figure to this paper. Some people said, "Couples aren't prioritizing men's careers. Men just have better earnings opportunities when moving." Earnings effects of moves for couples on the left, singles on the right. Negligible gap between single men and women.
Event study coefficients that show that men's earnings rise more than women's among couples following a cross-commuting zone move (left panels). The pattern is muted or reverses among single men and single women (right panels).
