1/Doug Irwin’s tribute @voxeu 🔗 cepr.org/voxeu/columns/… @D_A_Irwin @econromesh

Bill of lading data provide shipment-level detail and are more timely than official public trade statistics. As an example, we show the March 2020 lockdowns in India caused an export collapse within days. go.usa.gov/xMF8U #EconTwitter #TradeTwitter

Revised #FEDSPaper: Did the pandemic spark a surge in business deaths? It’s hard to tell. Business exit rates do tend to rise during recessions, but we won’t get official data for some time (1/2): go.usa.gov/xHZbM #EconTwitter

Product exclusions and other factors lowered effective tariffs on imports from China by more than the Phase One US-China trade deal. Most exclusions expired at the end of 2020. go.usa.gov/xsTc6 #TradeTwitter #EconTwitter #FEDSNote

Will washing machines become the next pick-up trucks, with high tariff protection for 50+ years? Since 2012 washing machines imports into the United States have been significantly restricted. economist.com/finance-and-ec…

@PortofLA Thanks @PortofLA . Any chance you could provide 2020 historical data on container vessel data that matches what you post on your website?

Cargo update (February 1, 2021): All Port of Los Angeles terminals are open and operational, with 19 vessels in port today. Labor crews working on 15 container ships, 1 tanker and 2 dry bulk carriers. Also in port: one cruise ship restocking supplies. lnkd.in/gRewZgd

New: "Multinationals, Offshoring, and the Decline of U.S. Manufacturing" by Christoph Boehm (@UTAustinEcon), @Aaronflaaen, @nityanayar. Was foreign sourcing of intermediates by MNEs responsible for a decline in US manufacturing employment? doi.org/10.1016/j.jint… 1/4

Has the pandemic sparked a surge in business deaths? It is hard to tell. Nearly 8 percent of firms die in average years, and that share tends to rise during recessions. But we won’t get official data on 2020 death rates for some time. go.usa.gov/x7Yfc (1/2)

@UpdatedPriors I’m still waiting for you to add that office for me in your house! Cmon, your kids don’t need bedrooms

@J_C_Suarez Cant believe I wasn’t aware of these estimates from your paper. Helpful comparison in relation to our estimates. Will have to give your paper a careful read!

Nice surprise to see my name in the footnote to this figure!

See today's story by @WSJ @d_harrison on new research by @UChi_Economics Ali Hortacsu and @FelixTintelnot exploring impacts of washing machine tariffs on US consumers: on.wsj.com/2XwHbqf

Trump’s tariffs raised the price of clothes dryers last year — even though the tariffs were only on washing machines. nytimes.com/2019/04/21/bus…

@TradeandMoney @UpdatedPriors @Brad_Setser Numbers in abstract only account for additional effects from temporary law change-- static effects of tax-motivated transfer pricing larger
