This is a very cool paper with a clever identification strategy to test the causal impact of the opioid epidemic on various political outcomes. A key point that’s not in the abstract —causal mechanism is voters agreed with GOP tough on crime rhetoric and policy.

Powell on price stability: "I think we were getting closer and closer to that ... I do think with the arrival of the tariff inflation, further progress may be delayed. The SEP doesn't really show further downward progress on inflation this year and that's really due to the tariffs coming in."

No, tullien noston aloittaminen naapureiden kanssa on niin älytön ajatus, että markkinoilla on vieläkin vaikeuksia uskoa, etteikö siitä vetäydyttäisi nopeasti.
