Forthcoming in AEJ: Applied Economics “University as a Melting Pot: Long-term Effects of Internationalization” Debates on international students often focus on capacity, funding, or competition. My paper shows the main effects on natives are not academic or economic, but social.

A quantitative general equilibrium model is calibrated using US and Western European data. Results indicate that the quantitative importance of extensive margin growth in explaining expenditure share shifts and terms of trade movements is substantial.

000 0

The expenditure shift pushes terms of trade against economies specialized in the lagging sector —a result opposite to the standard terms-of-trade effect that emerges with unbalanced intensive margin growth. Empirical evidence supports the model's predictions.

A model shows how uneven product diversification generates macro trends qualitatively different from those arising when uneven growth occurs along the intensive margin. With love of variety, consumers endogenously reduce expenditure shares on sectors diversifying production least.

This paper documents that product diversification occurs at systematically lower rates in agricultural sectors compared to manufacturing activities. Trade data shows this pattern holds robustly across countries and decades. Domestic production data for the US and EU confirm the finding.

In light of latest of steel/aluminum tariff threats, it's a good time to review the evidence. This work finds job losses in metals-using sectors outweigh job gains in metal sectors ~75 to 1. Steel Tariffs and U.S. Jobs Revisited econofact.org/steel-tariff... via @econofact.bsky.social

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

🇺🇾 Elections held yesterday in Uruguay. 🇺🇾 Center-left party won presidency. While we expect a lot from the new gov, we don't expect drastic changes in macro policy as all parties agree on basic macro principles. www.bbc.com/news/article...

The result? Can't claim causality, but noticed a few more bikes around. I definitely saw many more electric scooters (makes sense given that the city is very hilly). As a pedestrian it felt way more comfortable. I'm happy about these changes and would like to see even more!

8-Wilder vegetation where grass used to dominate. Here an clear example in the Flagey ponds. (this one seems to be mainly for the birds)

7-A bit of an unorthodox measure: they turned a big chunk of a very busy commercial street (Ch. d'Ixelles) into a space for pedestrians AND buses. Here a picture with the 71 bus passing by. Not sure this is the optimal solution, but it looks/feels better than the car infested situation of the past.

6-Clear efforts to increase priority of bikes in detriment of cars. Here an example in Les Marolles.

5-A whole lot of new green spaces were concrete used to dominate.

4-A lot of parking space turned into small gardens with trees or parking for bicycles.

3-Width of roads reduced to make room for bikes and pedestrians. Here an example from the Stephanie area:

2-Car-free bits that increase extension of parks, like this one in Flagey. (I used to run in this area and crossing this street used to be a challenge).

1-Many streets have been made car-free. This includes the main road in the city center (Bvar. Anspach), but also other roads like this one around St. Gilles:

Returning to Brussels after a few years I was amazed by how much the city changed. Many measures taken to improve mobility and overall livability of the city and I had no idea, so here a small thread about that (pictures are not amazing, sorry about that):
