The keynote by @dinapomeranz.bsky.social on Day 2 presented the room with lots of food for thought — on the difficulties of raising tax revenue in with low state capacity, the impact of audit “threats” and ghost firms, and that profit shifting is an issue across all countries.

The panel on how research(ers!) can shape and support public policy included practicable advice by Robert Kelly (CBI), Jonathan Cribb (IFS), Rowena Dwyer (D/FHERIS), & @dinapomeranz.bsky.social.

Very interesting to talk trade on @rteradio1.bsky.social Drivetime tonight — especially with the threat of 50% Trump tariffs on EU imports from June 1. I'd rather be an economist and comment than be a policymaker most weeks! But especially this week! @ucddublin.bsky.social

To round out the day, I made it on the BBC (NI ed)! Asked about the impact of the Trump tariffs 2.0 on Irish dairy and drinks producers. They will feel the impact most. Labor-intensive sectors with no tariff safeguarding and ready American substitutes. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis... (iPlayer only)
