The 2018 tariffs raised domestic steel prices, putting downstream U.S. manufacturing firms at a disadvantage relative to foreign competition.

Trade economists: After you publish your first trade paper, add yourself to Alan Deadorff's Family Tree of Trade Economists. public.websites.umich.edu/~alandear/tr... The cohort sizes suggest the field is in decline, but I think participation has fallen. Sign up!

RIP Robert Solow. Love this story by Krugman which doubles as a testimony of how important good teaching can be for research.

Extremely sad to read about the passing of Philippe Martin. Probably other people have more personal stories to share about him. I was just a major fan of his research. He will be greatly missed!
