Thrilled to have this piece published after long reflections on the impact of the pandemic on research methods. An extension of our previous piece in Perspectives on Politics, @marnie_howlett and I discuss the Home-Field dichotomy in detail.

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic the adoption of various remote research tools has emerged, increasingly blurring the line between our homes and fields.

We modeled (a few versions of) the "Liberation Day" tariffs.
The tariffs reduce US & global economic growth & increase inflation in many economies, depending on how others respond. A higher US risk premium means even higher inflation & significantly lower real GDP.

A great visual showing how US tariffs on aluminum put US aluminum-consuming manufacturers (eg Boeing) at a big cost disadvantage vs their competitors abroad (eg Airbus)

NEW: Three-judge panel of the Court of International Trade rules that Congress did not delegate to Trump unbounded authority to set tariffs. The challenged tariff orders are enjoined.

This dispute could prove tense based on discussions at the WTO before this consultation request.
Russia asserted the following in December '24 that their written questions were left unanswered, but then asserted more boldly the following:

@LeoBaccini I always explain it is as the politics of economics or the politics of distributional consequences (whether tangible money or political power).

OK, I’ll bite: Very few IPE scholars would define IPE in this way. As an empirical IPE scholar, I would not know how to define political will, how to measure it, and how to correctly identify its effect. But to be honest, I do not have a better definition.

An excellent summation of the deal, laying out key questions for the UK, businesses impacted and other watching trading partners. Quick to lay out a plan, but remains to be seen how the US and UK follow through, and whether this deal translates to anything sustainable.

@raulpacheco @turbinotorres Fresh Fruit, Broken Bodies by Seth Holmes (2013) and Strangers in their Own Land by Arli Hochschild (2016) left big impressions on me (and students I’ve taught). Same for Evicted by Matt Desmond.

I am going to teach a 2 hours lecture on "Writing Ethnography". Whose ethnographies have you recently enjoyed, specifically for their prose? (2010-2025, let's say)

Shoutout to the revival of the Trade Talks podcast. Highly recommend for those wanting to understand more about the current trade war in context.

Trump’s tariff announcement last week was so big, @ChadBown called in @SoumayaKeynes to cohost an emergency episode. They cover history, the dollar, and even the U.S. legal system to clarify what is known about the tariff actions so far. Ep. #207: tradetalkspodcast.com/podcast/207-wh…

Random question: has anyone explained by the spread in market performance started ~March 1? While trends are roughly parallel, I'm curious if anyone has dug into why we see Germany/UK/China being treated as safer markets vs. US, Japan, Canada?

A couple of folks have crunched the numbers (Evercore ISI - their chart, below; @fcastofthemonth) and concluded that the U.S. weighted average tariff, with all Trump's new orders in effect, will be higher than under Smoot-Hawley.

But what did this mean in practice? Not straight reciprocity. Hull explained that Country B needed to drop rates on Good 1 while Country C would drop rates on Good 2 in return. It makes sense-not every country produces and exports Good 1. Hull is likely rolling over somewhere. 7/

On today of all days, I want to drop a section of my dissertation here: From Cordell Hull's perspective, tariffs and similar economic barriers fostered strife, leading to conflict. If economic growth could be nurtured, particularly through free trade, war could be avoided... 1/
