Doubling steel and alum tariffs will ripple through the economy in unexpected ways. My research - cond. accepted at American Economic Review - shows auto manufacturers, which both make and finance vehicles, passed through some of the 2018 metal tariffs to consumers through higher borrowing costs.

Punchline: Tariffs pass through to American consumers with both higher vehicle prices and higher financing costs.

Enjoyed speaking with @wsj.com's Joe Pinsker about the potential cost of the new vehicle tariffs to American consumers. www.wsj.com/personal-fin...

Good day, I think. 2nd round R&R🥳at top journal. Only minor tire fires on unrelated conference logistics. As my friend said, "net win".

@wagonomics.bsky.social is on BlueSky! Definitely the Venn diagram intersection of smart, fun, and interesting. (He also like - loves 🙄 - golf.) Follow him anyway.

Great resource!

Sigh...

Welcome @alexchinco.bsky.social to BlueSky! Alex is one of the best writers in finance academia. I don't know if he'll post regularly, but I'd encourage everyone to follow him.

Ok #EconSky, I have two more squares to fill in for this year's job market reference letter Bingo. What else should we be looking for as we read lots of applications?

Look forward to my FRA early ideas presentation: "Driving a Bargain" coauthored with Tong Liu (MIT) and Denis Sosyura (ASU). We document that managerial bargaining ability affects price dispersion in corporate contracts.

Welcome @emilverner.bsky.social to 🟦sky! If you aren't familiar with Emil's work, here's a link to his JF'22 on fin crises and populism: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Next goal: get @NJGov to relocate. Can't be that hard. It's not like this is Delaware...

This is one of the best papers on discrimination in recent years. Read it, read it again. More and more evidence that introducing subjectivity at almost any stage increases discrimination.

Is there a way to block the bots? Can I sort my followers by the number of their followers and quickly remove the randos?
