I do not consent to this war, neither as an Iranian ex-pat, nor as a citizen of the United States.

The Iran war and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz are starting to show in container freight rates?
Drewry’s World Container Index, a global benchmark for the cost of moving goods, is now up about 34% from its late-February trough.

@albertobisin If you take out whisky bottles it is very similar to how I remember Chari’s office🤣

Does there exist a photo of Ken Arrow’s office at Stanford? I remember it like this :)

Should you ever be accused of being untidy, show them this photo of the offices of the New York Review of Books.

@florianederer Aside from offsides, I’m not sure VAR is an improvement over on field decision. If anything, it has introduced more chaos, mostly due to inconsistency.
English
The largest majority of people who want to get rid of VAR are overweight old guys who haven't kicked a ball in several decades.

@Bellmanequation That and some macro work can fall under, say, public, etc.

@MahdiKahou Search the word “immiserstion”. There is a class of dynamic contracting problems that have that property. Unpleasant, but interesting. Many great minds wrote papers trying to understand it better and/or show how robust it is to assumptions.
My point: it can be a good thing!
English
@roozbeh52 Yeah man.
Why am I even attacking these problems, I dont know 😄
English
Nothing gives a computational economist more existential doubt than a problem without a steady state.

I have written a comprehensive primer on the theory of trade. My intent in writing is that, with half an hour’s reading, you will be able to understand what economists on the frontier are doing. Read it all below:

Today, May 12, we celebrate the birthday of Maryam Mirzakhani (1977–2017) - the first woman and first Iranian to win the Fields Medal.
Her groundbreaking work on Riemann surfaces and moduli spaces continues to inspire mathematicians worldwide.
May 12 is now International Women in Mathematics Day.

@florianederer I am wondering if ticket holders can sue. Anyone purchased tickets in lottery paid for and bought a ticket with resale option. Now that option is removed. So what they get is not what they paid for.
English
This is a perfect natural experiment for anybody who is writing a paper on World Cup ticket prices.
Tickets were initially resold at prices well above face value before the Ontario law went into effect in April.

@micheleboldrin Because it is ridiculous. Aside from rules and procedures, every other federation is going object to this, staring from Belgium, Egypt and New Zealand.

Mi auguro che, se dovesse accadere (cosa non impossibile visto che Infantino e' un servo) i giocatori italiani difendano l'onore della squadra rifiutandosi di participare.
Financial Times@FT
A top envoy to Donald Trump suggested the swap to Fifa president Gianni Infantino and the US president, as leader of the country co-hosting the tournament, arguing that Italy’s four World Cup titles in the tournament's history justify awarding it the slot. ft.trib.al/Vq3rPmE

Looking forward to my class action settlement!

FIFA lied and overwhelmingly seated World Cup ticket lottery winners in the corners to sell significantly better tickets in the middle at even higher prices.

Bottom line: if the source of the imbalance is financial, a goods tariff is the wrong instrument. Policies that act directly on demand for the reserve asset can affect both the trade deficit and tradables employment. Comments welcome.

So a tariff can lower the measured trade-deficit-to-GDP ratio through a valuation effect, even when the real trade deficit is unchanged. In an extension with imperfect substitution, tariffs can even reduce home tradables employment further.👇

🚨New paper with @dandolfa : Tariff Policy with an Exorbitant Privilege
If the trade deficit is the equilibrium counterpart of foreign demand for the dominant international asset, then tariffs do not reduce the real trade deficit and do not bring back tradables employment. 🧵
