The United States of Sanctions foreignaffairs.com/articles/unite… via @ForeignAffairs International relations scholars do not agree on a lot, but the literature on sanctions is unanimous on the harm these measures inflict on populations in targeted countries. Buen artículo sobre sanciones.

The rise in non-bank finance has likely broadened monetary policy transmission, says Executive Board member @Isabel_Schnabel. But it has also created new risks for the conduct of monetary policy, requiring enhanced macroprudential policies for non-banks ecb.europa.eu/press/key/date…

Absolute nonsense. It's shameful seeing people with big platforms argue that unemployment should be higher in order to fix inequality. Just shameful.

One of the largest miscalculations was the surge in misinformation, mistrust & backlash to basic containment measures. This is not new - other pandemics triggered a similar reaction. Ground was fertile given surge in nationalism, political divide & proliferation of social media.

This is a must read @pisaniferry. My summary: climate change policies will have a large macro impact, which among other things will likely be regressive unless measures are taken to prevent it. piie.com/publications/p… @PIIE

It's really interesting looking over Adam Posen's old #Brexit prediction videos from 2017 ...
He was absolutely spot on about everything...

Biz told the @Independent back in July, as @SamuelMarcLowe & others noted - that Brexit red tape of U.K. safety marks is hurting supply chains. The FT has reported govt will announce extension for EU CE markings before shift to U.K. equiv (UKCA).

Are there any other countries whose KFCs have run out of chicken and whose McDonald's have run out of milkshake...
Or is it only the one on the island that just decided to economically cut itself off from the mainland?
Retweeted by Adam Posen Dear Academic Friends,
In my 10 years as a professor, I struggled to find material on contemporary policy issues for my SYLLABUS.
The speed & novelty of today's policy changes impacting trade make the challenge **YOU** face even greater.
Here is a small attempt to help... 1/🧵
Retweeted by Adam Posen Thanks @ChadBown - just got an email "Four ideas for your fall syllabus" about the PE of trade. He paired write ups of fresh topics (COVID supply chains, trade war, etc) with his related @PIIE working papers (with workable data, too!). That man stays on the public goods hustle!
Retweeted by Adam Posen ““I worry about inflation being a problem in the U.S. because of a breakdown in fiscal credibility, an inability of our factionalized legislature to raise taxes when we need to.”

Retweeted by Adam Posen "An overlooked but key part of the Nixon Shock was the decision to impose 10% surcharge on all foreign imports. The purpose was not to protect domestic firms from foreign competition, but to force others, mainly Japan, to revalue their currencies against the dollar."—@D_A_Irwin
Retweeted by Adam Posen If the results of this NBC News poll are accurate, we do not see the extreme vaccine hesitancy among Black Americans, where more than 75% are already vaccinated. Conservatives, and especially Trump supporters, are particularly unwilling to be vaccinated. They threaten us all.
Retweeted by Adam Posen As of July 1, USCIS was poised to waste 146K green card numbers. Even if it doubles its approval rate from Q3 in Quarter 4, there would be waste of 117K. It's a pretty much hopeless situation unless USCIS takes decisive action to mass issue green cards before Sept. 30
Retweeted by Adam Posen It also means that as of July 1, Biden's team hadn't increased the rate of EB green card approvals AT ALL from Trump's final quarter in office. No quarter of 2020 has equaled the record quarter (since FY 2013) of FY 2020, Quarter 4, which saw 48,797 approvals.
Retweeted by Adam Posen "The risk of accelerating inflation is probably lower than the risk of undershooting on possible employment. It’s still right not to pre-empt” by tightening policy.

UK - New Zealand trade deal close. Almost completely insignificant economically, the greatest interest will be in seeing the difference between this and the UK-Australia deal - on agricultural quotas and climate change provisions to name two. amp.rnz.co.nz/article/63c5b2…
Retweeted by Adam Posen The Covid-19 fiscal response could be viewed as a model going forward in terms of stabilisation policy: go for "green" public investment, strengthen automatic stabilisers, rethink fiscal-monetary coordination. Interesting article by @AdamPosen:

Retweeted by Adam Posen Starting destructive trade wars/exiting global climate deal, crippling our national response to a public health emergency and treating US elections/institutions as illegitimate did more damage to our "standing" than admitting to the limitations of what US power can accomplish did twitter.com/MacaesBruno/st…

Retweeted by Adam Posen one way we know recent media concern for human rights in Afghanistan is super earnest and good faith is that “the three major networks devoted a total of 362 mins to Afghanistan” in the past in 5yrs, or “an average of only 24 mins per network per year” responsiblestatecraft.org/2021/08/20/thr…
Retweeted by Adam Posen Indeed, by the standard of this analogy, the people whose reputations should “never recover” should be those in the George W, Bush administration, many of whom now have the chutzpah to weigh in about the end of the futile war they started.
Retweeted by Adam Posen NEW RESEARCH: For auto and electronics supply chains (and where dependence on Japan was greater), the 2011 Fukushima earthquake shifted imports to new suppliers that tended to be developing and large countries.

Retweeted by Adam Posen If you teach undergrad trade: Have you updated your syllabus to cover the effect of COVID-19 and Trump Tariffs on global trade/supply chain? I recommend this piece by @ChadBown and @TomBollyky for COVID-19 supply chain. Any other suggestions? twitter.com/PIIE/status/14…
Retweeted by Adam Posen Shohei Ohtani currently has a 166 OPS+ and a 166 ERA+. It’s so wild that I don’t even know what superlative to hang on it for the take. This is the most impressive and most incredible and maybe just plain best individual season in modern baseball history.

Retweeted by Adam Posen Utterly bizarre. There’s a mountain of evidence why giving rightwingers who operate purely in bad faith a platform under the guise of “debating” them will always have the effect of normalizing them or allowing them to self-victimize - and yet the NYT goes: “Let’s have Rufo on!” twitter.com/TaulbyE324/sta…

Retweeted by Adam Posen One political danger Biden faces in promising to bring home every American from Afghanistan is that we know from the 1970s that the right can always invent imaginary Americans who have not yet been brought home from a long war.
Retweeted by Adam Posen Biden has gotten more bad press over a week of messy-but-successful-so-far evacuations than Obama and Trump combined got across 12 years of Americans actually dying in pursuit of a failed policy.
Frightening political implications.

Retweeted by Adam Posen My brother (I have 3) quit his job to research & write about our immigration history. He sent us this transcript from Gerald Ford Presidential Library. When the US knew the Fall of Saigon was imminent, leaders debated where to send the refugees. We created these refugees.
Retweeted by Adam Posen An accelerated transition to a carbon-neutral economy is bound to have serious, immediate economic implications. It is high time policymakers realize that climate policy is also macroeconomic policy & design transition strategies now. By @pisaniferry: piie.com/publications/p…

Retweeted by Adam Posen The world is burning, and yet the Energy Charter Treaty - unveiled in draft 30 years ago today - is being used to sue governments trying to move away from fossil fuels. I’ve written to Liz Truss demanding the UK shows some leadership and supports plans to decarbonise the treaty.
