“A new analysis suggests that more than 100,000 children have been separated from their parents during the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown. And roughly three-quarters of those children… are likely U.S. citizens” nytimes.com/2026/05/18/us/…

New @nytopinion: "I first met Jerome Powell, the departing head of the Federal Reserve, in late 2011. I was working for Barack Obama, and Mr. Powell was interviewing for a job as one of the Fed’s governors. He was not our first choice. To be honest, he wasn’t even our second."

Huge congrats to @JustinWolfers on his new project; this @nytimes piece has a good introduction. This effort will expand his reach in teaching the world economics. I wish him every success.
Justin Wolfers@JustinWolfers

A funny thing happened on the way to launch day. The @nytimes wrote about Platypus Economics. Brian O'Keefe asked tons of questions, interviewed all sorts of folks, and produced something I'm a little stunned by. nytimes.com/2026/05/06/bus… (gift link)

Yesterday, Trump lifted UK whiskey tariffs that were supposedly (by law) about a "balance of payments" crisis. Today, he's imposing EU automotive tariffs that were supposedly (by law) about "national security". It's all so manifestly ridiculous.

(6/6) At present, the world needs collective action around the problem of collective action. Coalitions of the willing can show the way forward, but it will require both pragmatism and a lot of work, as pointed out recently by Canadian PM Carney. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

(5/6) Such mechanisms have the potential to fuel cooperative solutions to global collective action problems, and they can also strengthen coalitions in the face of disruptive “spoilers”, a policy problem that may be particularly salient today.

(1/6) 🧵 My new working paper is out today @PIIE, comparing three global collective action problems that occupy my recent scholarly work: international tax, climate, and world trade. I look at both the nature of these problems, and lessons for progress in times ahead.

Me talking to @aduehren in the New York Times about some of the issues with recent middle-class tax cut proposals. The folks who’ve been hurt the most by Trump’s agenda—low-income people—wouldn’t benefit and their cost could hamper attempts to reverse those Trump policies.

@Noahpinion This fits w/ my priors. I love Alaska (and many of their foreign partners are good) but hate that they partner with American since that means you are sometimes stuck on them.
