Tariff: The Most Beautiful Word in the Dictionary?

Review of International Economics, EarlyView.
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 ...

The Surprising Bias of PPML Estimates of Structural Gravity Models With Two‐Way Fixed Effects

Review of International Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The previous literature has shown that the Poisson Pseudo‐Maximum Likelihood (PPML) estimator provides consistent and asymptotically unbiased estimates of the parameters of structural gravity models with two‐way fixed effects, although their standard errors need correction.

Deterrence, Development, and Denial: Securitising Climate‐Induced Mobility in the European Union

Contemporary European Politics, Volume 4, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate‐induced mobility poses a mounting governance challenge for the European Union (EU), where climate action, migration control, and security policy intersect in uneven and contested ways. While EU discourse frequently frames climate change as a “threat multiplier,” migration governance remains anchored in deterrence logics, producing a ...
