Good discussion in class this week about how Trump tariffs can either: "reduce the trade deficit in in goods" (that's what he talks about) or be "paid fully by foreign producers" Not both (no way he knows about the secondary income account where tariff revenues are recorded in current account)

The job market season is quickly approaching its highest point: the job market dinner at the fancy restaurant on Valentine's Day. Good luck to all the candidates (and to all the dates at the tables next to them!) #EconSky

When I saw Benfica/PSG - Brest/Monaco before the draw I thought it was going to be a mini-league, one leg with one pair of teams, the other leg with the other, to keep the spirit of the Legue stage. Disappointing.

Für die Uefa ist der neue Champions-League-Modus mit seinem Videoclip-Spieltag am Mittwoch ein Erfolg: noch mehr Spiele, noch mehr Spektakel, noch mehr Geld. Als Zuschauer hat man vor allem eines: Kopfschmerzen.

XXL Konferenz. Ludicrous
