This is ridiculous. Jingye isn't shuttering British Steel in a slight against the UK any more than Tata Steel did when it closed Port Talbot last year. It's because steelmaking in the UK is profoundly uneconomical, which is why British firms don't want to buy these assets.

Someone says the tariff hikes are meant to fund tax cuts. Problem is: the math doesnโ€™t add up. To close the gap, tariffs would need to skyrocket โ€” 25% or more!

I'm really excited that this paper, coauthored with Christian Stoltenberg and Swapnil Singh (Swapnil Singh), is coming out in the Journal of Monetary Economics. I think we've got a pretty neat result, which I would like to try to explain.

Trumpโ€™s tariffs aim to revive US manufacturing, but experts warn they may backfire โ€” raising consumer prices and causing job losses. The decline of manufacturing wasnโ€™t just about globalization; factors like higher labor costs and rigid union rules played a role too.

It was a great pleasure to give my inaugural lecture at the University of Zurich on the sources of long term unemployment. In the lecture I argue that there are two views of long term unemployment: the traditional view is that it is a trap, whereas an alternative view says that

Deeply saddened by Marcusโ€™s passing. I only met him a few times, but one evening in Aarhus stands outโ€”he spent hours with Simi and me, offering generous, incisive advice on our paper. He didnโ€™t have to, but he cared. A brilliant macroeconomist who too ideas seriously.
