In this age of protectionist madness, it's time for a Nobel Prize awarded to the great pioneers of modern trade theory. My prediction: Elhanan Helpman, Samuel Kortum and Marc Melitz for their contributions to our understanding of international trade. In memoriam: Jonathan Eaton

But aren't their other potential explanations? Yes, and we explore them in detail in our firm data. We find no evidence that foreign-owned firms' superior distribution networks, more favorable evolution of input prices, or differential demand shocks played a relevant role. 4/5

Our rich micro data for Spain points to an important financial advantage of foreign ownership: For small and financially vulnerable firms, foreign ownership made the biggest difference. For them, accessing foreign capital markets via their multinational parent was crucial 3/5

The Global Financial Crisis dealt a major blow to world exports: The "Great Trade Collapse" Yet, looking at Spain, we find that exports by foreign-owned firms dropped much less in the crisis (compared to domestic firms). But why? 2/5

The US economy will slow sharply in 2025; tariffs & other US policy shifts dampen activity & fuel global uncertainty. Tariffs are raising prices, disrupting supply chains, eroding real incomes, & making it harder for businesses to plan. #PIIECharts

Peter Eppinger @petereppinger.com · 06/04/2025
Excellent thread by a leading trade economist on what might be valid reasons for setting tariffs. Spoiler alert: None of those reasons could justify raising US import tariffs. Instead such a policy will harm (almost) everyone involved, especially US consumers.

Bilateral TD's reflect comparative advantage and are not necessarily a problem. I have a TD with my barber because I buy haircuts from him and he doesn't buy lectures from me. TD's are NOT a ripoff of our country by other countries! That's dumb. Cheers. (14/14)

What a lying 🤡 in the White House. Let me join all sane economists in saying what needs to be said: These new tariffs are so absurd and idiotic... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... The numbers have nothing to do with actual tariffs charged to the U.S., which are an order of magnitude smaller. 👇
