For decades – maybe even centuries – an individual’s sense of community was most often based on their interactions in a particular physical location. Neighbors, schoolmates, coworkers, and even those with whom they shared a place or method of worship formed a person’s community.

Last Week. Last week was simply brutal. In rates, a 100% probability of four FOMC rate hikes in 2022 is priced into the front of the yield curve with some, like Goldman Sachs, predicting a hike at every meeting starting March 16 or seven in total. Meanwhile, the Treasury yield curve flattened as signs point to a slowing recovery. Combining a slow down with the specter of the Fed aggressively tightening policy is most unpleasant.

Most economists rely upon the structural gravity model as a best tool to analyse the impact of trade policies on bilateral trade flows. However, while the gravity model is well suited to examine the impact of bilateral trade costs – such as tariffs imposed by exporter-importer pairs – it is poorly equipped to estimate the impact of country-specific policies because standard controls subsume their effects.
