Craziest (and most infuriating) chart I saw this past week: Germany's monthly exports of goods purportedly to Kyrgyzstan.

Here is a snapshot of the largest producers of vaccines. Much more supply is in the pipeline but all countries will need to share. It is essential to vaccinate the most vulnerable in the world *now* for the benefit of everyone. The pandemic is not over until it is over everywhere

Dear #TradeTwitter,
HELP!
I have found 500+ HTS-10 products...
(1) on List 1 ($34B, 25% US tariffs on China)
(2) NOT on any Federal Register notice of product EXCLUSIONS
yet
(3) starting March 2020, 25% Section 301 tariffs were no longer collected.
Any explanations? 🤓🤔

The one thing we've learned from this crisis is that if the Martians invaded earth, our first response would be to lower interest rates.

Tweestorming a rough chronology of economics since World War II
Caveats:
1. It’s not meant at introducing econ ideas but primarily at helping econ undergrads embed ideas & tools seen in micro/macro courses in specific times & places before going deeper in some episodes

1/N. Short thread on T-Mlobile/Sprint merger. There were 2 theories:
(A) It's a 4-to-3 merger that will lower competition and increase markups.
(B) The new merged entity will be able to take on the industry leaders ATT and Verizon.
(A) and (B) make clear predictions.

Ben Olken's notes on his "Epic Failures" -- research projects that died. A good reminder that for every polished paper we see, there are a lot of failed paper attempts. (Part of MIT's new 2nd-year PhD class on how to write a paper, which I want to take!)

On Brexit Day, this is the chart that makes me angry
Soon after Cameron was elected in 2010, just 1% of UK adults thought EU was a top issue
The unwanted, divisive & expensive #Brexit saga was manufactured from nothing by his government for the benefit of the Conservative party
