Tariff: The Most Beautiful Word in the Dictionary?
ABSTRACT We consider the welfare impacts of US tariff policy at levels proposed by President Donald J. Trump. General‐equilibrium simulations under a widely used transparent one‐sector trade model reveal sizable US welfare losses. When we extend the model to include bilateral firm selection and high resolution input–output linkages, the US losses ...

Markup Centrality and International Incidence in Global Production Networks
ABSTRACT This paper develops a framework to measure how markups amplify prices through global production networks and to attribute final‐demand price wedges to upstream country‐industry sources. The approach defines a compound markup as the ratio of observed prices to counterfactual pure‐cost prices that would prevail if all markups in the network were

On the undesirable repercussions of gender norms in an endogenous growth model
Abstract Sustainable growth has emerged as a critical policy challenge worldwide. We investigate the influence of conventional gender norms on fertility and economic growth to explain the phenomena recently observed across high‐income countries. To this end, we construct an overlapping generations model with endogenous fertility and labor supply ...

Speech and Language Markers of Bipolar Disorder: Challenges and Opportunities
ABSTRACT Background Clinicians aspire to predict the emergence of Bipolar Disorder (BD) in a timely manner. To accomplish this, markers reflecting mental states that can be gathered non‐invasively and at large scale are needed. Here, we systematically evaluate evidence relating speech‐based markers to mood states in BD.

Persuasive channel choices: Evidence from manager–investor interactions
Abstract Managers of public companies communicate with investors through channels such as conference calls and press releases. We develop a linear optimization model that predicts the optimal allocation of positive and negative information across channels, accounting for investors' limited processing capacity and channel‐specific cognitive costs.

A note on the Cobb-Douglas function
This note observes that the Cobb-Douglas function is uniquely characterized by the property that, if the labour share of cost for a constant-returns-to-scale firm remains constant when the firm minimizes its cost for any given output level, then the firm's production function must be Cobb-Douglas.

Do robots boost productivity? A quantitative meta‐study
ABSTRACT This meta‐study analyzes the productivity effects of industrial robots. More than 1800 estimates from 85 primary studies are collected. The meta‐analytic evidence suggests that robotization has so far provided, at best, a small boost to productivity. There is strong evidence of publication bias in the positive direction.
