Here is our recorded AEA session aeaweb.org/webcasts/2026/dol… at #ASSA2026 on tariffs and the dollar w/ @itskhoki , @JSchreger , @krogoff , @MartinUribeEcon. Interesting conversations w/presenters, discussants and the audience on understanding tariffs' impact on the economy: what happened, can tariffs be good, models and reality, how countries compete, why the dollar went the wrong way and what the future may hold for the dollar and the U.S.
