A campaign with the slogan "Russia is not my enemy" is currently spreading on X. You know, in reality, it doesn’t matter how you personally feel about Russia. What matters is what Putin and the Kremlin elites want to - and are able to - do to your country.

In Oleshky, a town on Russian-occupied territory, residents are starving. There are no shops. A husband and wife returning with bags of food from another town were killed by a drone. Children are malnourished. The Russians are imposing a "full blocade," Ukraine says. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Trump’s newest daughter-in-law expects us to believe that sanctioned oligarch Umar Kremlev paid for the wedding celebration of the president’s son purely out of the goodness of his muscovite heart. Just one of those touching, entirely spontaneous acts of genocidal child-kidnapper generosity. 🥲

@fpconteduca.eurosky.social M Errico @fabrizioleone.bsky.social @ludovicpanon.bsky.social & G Romanini study the impact of trade wars on firms in third countries and find that the 2018-19 US-China trade war generated an average export gain of 2.5% for Italian firms. cepr.org/voxeu/column... #EconSky
The figure shows the distribution of model–predicted export revenue changes across Italian firms between 2017 and 2019, both pooled across destinations and disaggregated by destination. Average gains are higher in the US, consistent with Italian exports substituting for Chinese products. Exports to the EU, China, and – to a lesser extent – the rest of the world also expanded, consistent with the presence of external economies of scale in Italian exports. These average effects, however, mask substantial heterogeneity: the standard deviation of pooled export revenue changes is 7.6%, with roughly one in five firms experiencing a decline in exports.

Bilateral trade shocks may reallocate demand and competition across countries, creating spillovers for firms in bystander countries. To study how firms respond to trade shocks happening elsewhere, this column proposes a tractable trade model that allows trade elasticities to vary across destinations and incorporates external economies of scale. Applying the model to the universe of Italian firms, the authors find that the 2018–2019 US–China trade war generated an average export gain of 2.5%, but with substantial heterogeneity across firms. External economies of scale account for most of the variation in firm-level export performance.

Domestic firm-to-firm transaction data & customs records show Italy's exposure to external risks, such as US tariffs and a sudden stop of Chinese supplies, is far larger than standard trade stats suggest. @fpconteduca.bsky.social @fabrizioleone.bsky.social et al cepr.org/voxeu/column... #EconSky
Distribution of the combination of direct and indirect export exposures to the US (left panel) and import exposures to China (right panel) by local labour market in 2022. The authors classify exposure in each local labour market as high or low based on whether its exposure value is above or below the national median.

Understanding how foreign shocks affect economies has become a policy priority. Using domestic firm-to-firm transaction data matched with customs records, this column shows that Italy’s exposure to external risks, such as US tariffs and a sudden stop of Chinese supplies, is far larger than standard trade statistics suggest. Indirect exposure transmitted through domestic supply chains exceeds direct export and import exposure in most Italian regions. A small number of large traders and wholesalers act as key transmission hubs. Widely used input–output tables substantially understate these risks. Micro-level supply-chain data are essential to detect local vulnerabilities and design mitigation policies.
