*Trade war: my theory of the case*
1. What is the goal/ideal outcome/trump admin hopes: 10% tariff across the board with no retaliation + direct non-tariff favors from other countries to settle this at 10% + a possible full-scale bilateral trade war with China. (1/n)
Ominous indeed: an “unexpected” consequence of the brutal five-year-long war in Europe is that the most cruel dictatorship of the 21st century develops the leading weapon technology

Here is our recorded AEA session aeaweb.org/webcasts/2026/dol… at #ASSA2026 on tariffs and the dollar w/ @itskhoki , @JSchreger , @krogoff , @MartinUribeEcon. Interesting conversations w/presenters, discussants and the audience on understanding tariffs' impact on the economy: what happened, can tariffs be good, models and reality, how countries compete, why the dollar went the wrong way and what the future may hold for the dollar and the U.S.

Market distortions make real exchange rates a misleading measure of relative social costs. An alternative measure finds much better risk sharing than the canonical approach, from Mark A. Aguiar, @itskhoki, and @MukhinDA nber.org/papers/w34587
