New from the New York Fed: "By February 2026, tariffs had contributed 2.9 pp to goods price inflation, and without them goods prices would have fallen slightly."
About one quarter of every point in higher tariff rates shows up in consumer prices within one year.
• A 10% across-the-board tariff yields a 2.6% rise in consumer goods prices after one year.
• About two thirds of the increase comes from pricier imports, which get passed through quickly.
• Another third comes from U.S. made goods, as producers face higher input costs and less import competition. This takes longer, about 6-12 months, to filter through.
How Fast Do Tariffs Pass Through into Consumer Prices?

Marc, please tell us why this troubles you:
The Exploratorium will require N95 or KF94/KN95 masks from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Aug. 22, **to provide immunocompromised visitors a “safer experience,” **
** which falls outside the Exploratorium’s normal Saturday hours **
If you're feeling nostalgic about the COVID era, go to the San Francisco Exploratorim at 9am on the 22nd.
For 2 hours the museum will require everyone to wear a mask.

“When tariffs were relatively stable, prices for durable goods such as appliances, electronics, and furniture were declining by as much as 3% year-over-year. But in 2025, the effective tariff rate surged to over 11% and durable goods prices began increasing by 2% to 3%.”

(23) How Silicon Valley sold Washington an AI race
Have been saying this for some time...great piece
No doubt some advocates of this story are true believers with legitimate concerns. There are also others chasing government contracts, looser regulation and investment returns. But whatever the motivations, there is evidence that the China AI race narrative may be based on fundamental misconceptions and misrepresentations of China’s actual AI priorities and actions.

[Reposted to fix typos!] Internship Alert!
For those interested in working with me (or who have deep policy interests in Chinese economics and technology—and can bear with me), I’m looking for a great colleague to join our team this summer!
We will have a lot of exciting projects ahead as we dig into the nitty gritty of Chinese innovation, the macro economy, and the evolving landscape of U.S.-China competition! This is a hands on role at Asia Society @AsiaPolicy Center for China Analysis, where you’ll be working closely with me on research, writing, data, and building out real analytical frameworks around China’s economic and technological trajectory! If you’re someone deeply curious about how China’s system works from the inside out (and want to do serious, policy-relevant work) would love to hear from you. Feel free to reach out or apply!
Bonus: you’ll also have the opportunity to stargaze at my brilliant office neighbors, Neil
@neilthomas123
and Lyle @LyleJMorris and work alongside them (we have a lot of cross-pillar collaborations!)
JD + How to Apply in the next post 👇
