Almost every headline today screams that Europe has been humiliated, Trump wins, and we’ll pay 15% tariffs.

That story is wrong.

Trump hasn’t won. The EU hasn’t lost. And Americans—not Europeans—will foot the bill.

My latest piece explains why this deal may actually be a small win for Europe. 👇

Trump didn’t win. Europe didn’t lose

The new tariff deal looks like a humiliation for the EU. In reality, Americans will foot the bill—and Europe may have scored a quiet victory

It's the best time ever to experiment with new coding tools. Coding with o1-preview is very effective for hard research tasks (structural modeling with pyTorch, functions for custom latex tables, computing Hessians). 4o/Claude do well on simpler data cleaning with just a little guidance.

Just a reminder that @gmcd.bsky.social and @kylefbutts.bsky.social have made an incredible public good describing how to use data.table and fixest to encourage moving from Stata to R!
