How much trade in #AI - related products?
A lot. Trade in AI-related products is **the** dominant force in U.S. trade flows over the past two years. This is despite the changes in U.S. #trade policy and #tariffs
I coded up an open-source, not-for-profit AI paper reviewer that rivals the performance of @reviewer3, @RefineInk, and Stanford Agentic Reviewer (according to @GeminiApp). Costs <$2!
Live @ coarse.ink. Plug in paper, @OpenRouter key, and email. #econtwitter.

I am really happy about this paper. Through the process of writing it, we learned something fundamental about the workhorse model of labor market frictions - not just discovering normative properties (which, of course, is important), but also finding out how to analyze them.
On-the-job search leads to overvaluation of jobs, especially at the top of the job ladder, resulting in excess vacancy creation in the canonical search and matching model, from Masao Fukui and @ToshiMukoyamanber.org/papers/w33910
