arm's length againDBy Dean Bilton Charlie Cameron has burst to life as the Brisbane Lions shot to the top of the AFL ladder and put Gold Coast in their place in a lopsided QClash sitting third with ambition to prove their mettle against the reigning premiers in driving rain and after a hard-fought first half the Lions' midfield dominated the clearances and their small forwards profited in a 9.12 (66) to 7.7 (49) Sunday night Gabba win Three late goals flattered the Suns and helped them narrowly avoid their lowest score in 28 meetings as a QClash record crowd of 33,612 gathered to watch the Lions' 12th win from these teams' past 13 meetings Will Ashcroft and Hugh McCluggage had 27 of the Lions' 47 clearances Will Ashcroft won the medal for best afield in a QClash Josh Dunkley kept Matt Rowell quiet to complete the Lions' midfield masterclass Cameron (three goals) hadn't kicked a goal in three games but had two in as many minutes in the second term thanks to some quick footwork and a handy grubber off the deck He missed two snaps he would usually swallow up but marked strongly and moved well to look back to his threatening best after a quiet start to the season The margin was just 11 points at halftime and the Suns looked ripe to push the Lions after halting the hosts' momentum and getting forward themselves But they wasted opportunities with long bombs into the Lions' defensive zone who repelled and allowed Cameron and Callum Ah Chee (three goals) to prosper A 12-clearance difference in the third term was the biggest for the Suns since 2019 and led to a five-goals-to-one quarter that ended the fight wearing their inaugural 1987 Brisbane Bears guernsey in a retro throwback jumped to first after Collingwood's loss to Geelong on Saturday ReactReactCopy

former Lion Marcus and has been won tonight by current Lion Will I thought there were a couple of other Lions slightly more deserving but Will certainly had an excellent game A game-high 34 disposals and nine clearances are tough to argue with 11:52amSun 4 May 2025 at 11:52amFT: Brisbane 9.12 (66) def Gold Coast 7.7 (49)DBy Dean Bilton The Lions spent the last few minutes chipping the ball around among themselves winding down the clock and winding up the crowd But when we get to the end of the season nobody will care how it happened The Lions were comfortably the better team more mature and composed when the game was there to be won Crucially the Brisbane midfield was dominant and without the engine room firing the Suns had no platform for victory The reigning premiers are looking as strong as ever The Suns still aren't quite at that level 11:46amSun 4 May 2025 at 11:46amBen Ainsworth sneaks through another for Gold CoastDBy Dean Bilton The Suns are rescuing the margin a bit here

greatest advertisement for Sunday night footy 11:34amSun 4 May 2025 at 11:34amStalemate as QClash 28 peters outDBy Dean Bilton We're halfway through the last quarter now with no goals yet on the board in it who have missed a handful of gettable chances but still look entirely comfortable Yet more questions will be asked about the Suns after this one 11:29amSun 4 May 2025 at 11:29amMatt Rowell has

which doesn't happen to that Gold Coast on-ball brigade often Hugh McCluggage and the Ashcroft boys have taken their highly rated Suns opponents to the cleaners tonight It would take a six-goal turnaround in the last for the Suns now 11:13amSun 4 May 2025 at 11:13amCallum Ah Chee has three in the quarter for Brisbane!DBy Dean Bilton The Lions have upped the heat and the Suns have wilted Brisbane has made its move in this third quarter and might have kicked out to a winning lead Ah Chee's checkside set shot makes it a 34-point game 11:09amSun 4 May 2025 at 11:09amDarcy Gardiner gets a gift in the goalsquareDBy Dean Bilton Fair to say Mac Andrew doesn't agree with that call on the goal line The umpire said Andrew had a tug on Gardiner's guernsey and Andrew was the one facing the football Bailey Humphrey missed one from right in front moments earlier and now that feels like a doubly bad miss 11:02amSun 4 May 2025 at 11:02amCal Ah Chee has snapped through another one for BrisbaneDBy Dean Bilton There was a whistle in the forward 50 stoppage but Ah Chee wasn't hanging around to find out He sharked the crumb and immediately threw it on the boot while others waited and watched The clearance battle is being dominated by Brisbane and is deciding this match 10:54amSun 4 May 2025 at 10:54amBen King's first touch of the night is a goalDBy Dean Bilton but a mark in the goalsquare is just the tonic for King Going to be all about territory for the rest of the game and the Lions are holding a strong advantage in the clearances Look what happens when the Suns can win one 10:52amSun 4 May 2025 at 10:52amCharlie Cameron has three Excellent bodywork from Cameron took Powell out of the marking contest in the pocket but he still had to dive to his left to take a good

sure The Lions got a jump on the Suns to start the quarter piling on the goals as the rain poured down But once it dried up Gold Coast began to get some control of the ball and field position Short kicking and patient possession isn't always the Suns' MO Eleven points is a very slender margin in a game like this 10:12amSun 4 May 2025 at 10:12amJed Walter kicks another for Gold CoastDBy Dean Bilton A free kick in the marking contest earned Walter the shot but there was some lovely footy from the Suns getting the ball from half-back to deep in attack straight through the middle of the

Empirical research has found that the pass-through rate is generally high (often near 100 percent), meaning that the burden of tariffs typically falls on domestic consumers and firms rather than foreign exporters.1 The economic significance of tariffs is underscored by recent data from the First Quarter 2025 CFO Survey more than 30 percent of surveyed firms identify trade and tariffs as their most pressing business concern up sharply from just 8.3 percent in the previous quarter This rapid rise highlights firms' heightened sensitivity to tariff-related disruptions reflecting widespread concern among business leaders about the potential economic consequences of recent tariff proposals we first provide historical context on U.S tariff policy to frame the significance of the proposed tariff changes for 2025 we analyze how tariffs impact producers differently across industries due to varying reliance on imported inputs we examine the specific implications of recent tariff proposals for all counties in the U.S relied heavily on tariffs — often exceeding 30 percent — as its primary source of federal revenue from the nation's founding until the introduction of income taxes in 1913 tariffs among WTO member countries have generally remained around 2.5 percent reinforcing greater global economic interconnectedness Economist Greg Mankiw once noted, "Few propositions command as much consensus among professional economists as that open world trade increases economic growth and raises living standards."2 Free trade — international commerce with minimal barriers such as tariffs or quotas — promotes economic efficiency growth and consumer welfare by allowing countries to specialize according to their comparative advantages countries benefit from greater access to a wider variety of goods at lower prices increased innovation and improved productivity encourages the exchange of ideas and technology and raises living standards by enabling consumers to purchase a broader selection of goods at lower prices Although free trade can present challenges for certain industries or workers facing international competition enhancing global economic welfare and fostering international cooperation Economists often describe free trade as a "win-win" for countries involved Although consumers broadly benefited from lower-priced goods and enhanced variety of goods the uneven distribution of economic gains and losses fueled public skepticism about globalization The backlash reflects frustration over insufficient support for displaced workers and the uneven distribution of trade gains highlighting the need for better policies in addressing and mitigating the adverse effects experienced by specific groups something often overlooked by proponents of free trade Developed economies (including the U.S.) have since faced growing pressure to provide greater support and protections for negatively affected industries and communities the expected boost in domestic production and employment was modest Empirical research indicates that each 10 percent increase in tariffs generally raises producer prices by about 1 percent.6 Given the increase in the average effective tariff rate during 2018-19 this translated into roughly a 0.3 percent rise in the consumer price index the economic effects of the 2018-19 tariffs — while beneficial for a limited set of domestic industries — resulted in a net negative outcome for the broader economy producers reliant on imported inputs and workers in adversely affected sectors including an additional 20 percent on all imports from China and a 25 percent tariff on aluminum and steel imports from several countries Further tariffs of 25 percent on goods imported from Canada and Mexico which are not subject to the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) are scheduled to take effect in April 2025 along with potential tariffs targeting automotive imports and goods imported from the European Union (EU) These recent tariff proposals could have significant implications for industries and regional economies across the U.S. A natural question arises: How substantial are these tariffs compared to those implemented in previous periods To assess the impact of the proposed tariffs for 2025 relative to historical tariffs we use a measure known as the average effective tariff rate (AETR) The AETR aggregates tariffs across various imported goods and countries into a single number it is computed by weighting the tariff imposed on each good imported from each country by that good-country combination's share of total imports imports 20 percent of its steel from Mexico (facing a 10 percent tariff) and 80 percent from Canada (facing zero percent tariffs) the AETR for steel would be 2 percent (0.2 × 10% + 0.8 × 0%) the AETR represents the average tariff cost per dollar of imports providing a useful metric to evaluate and compare the overall impact of tariff proposals across different scenarios and historical periods We construct a benchmark AETR using data from the 2024 U.S. Trade Census. We follow closely the work by Michael Waugh The Census reports both duties (tariff revenue collected) and imports (the dollar value of goods imported) over time The AETR is defined as the ratio of duties to imports: AETR = duties / imports the government collected 2.2 cents in tariff revenue for every dollar of imported goods Establishing this baseline allows us to meaningfully assess the potential economic impact of new tariff proposals introduced in 2025 by comparing them to current trade patterns and tariff levels Because the Census data provide detailed information at both the product and country level we observe imports and tariff revenues by country of origin and by product classified at the six-digit level of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) The HTS is an internationally standardized system used to classify traded goods This granularity allows us to compute effective tariff rates at the level of individual HTS-6 products and trading partners by taking the ratio of duties collected to the value of imports for each good-country pair This allows us to compute AETR by country of origin The first column of Table 1 displays the AETR for five geographical regions of interest: Canada The overall AETR can be found at the bottom of the table The last column provides information on the share of imports of each country We then consider four distinct tariff scenarios The benchmark AETR of 2.2 percent reflects the tariff regime in place at the end of 2024 incorporating WTO most-favored-nation (MFN) tariffs the China-specific tariffs imposed during the 2018-19 period and any other tariff measures or exemptions still in effect we simulate the impact of an additional 25 percent tariff on all steel and aluminum imports as well as a 20 percent tariff on all imports from China The increase in the AETR from 2.2 percent to 7.1 percent may seem large but it is driven by the size and composition of the affected import flows The 25 percent tariff on steel and aluminum alone raises the AETR to approximately 4.4 percent Although steel and aluminum represent a relatively narrow range of products they generate a disproportionately large share of tariff revenue due to both the volume of imports and the uniform 25 percent duty applied Section 232 duties may not be waived due to a free trade agreement these tariffs apply even to imports from close trading partners such as Canada and Mexico This has a pronounced effect on the tariff burden faced by goods imported from these countries Canada's AETR rises from just 0.1 percent to 1.5 percent and Mexico's AETR rises from 0.2 percent to 2.8 percent especially considering that Canada and Mexico account for 12.6 and 15.5 percent of total U.S The fact that Section 232 tariffs override free trade agreement provisions magnifies their impact on these key trading partners The additional 20 percent tariff on China further raises the AETR to 7.1 percent imports has declined from 22.0 percent in 2017 to 13.8 percent in 2024 The uniform application of the tariff across all Chinese imports — many of which were already subject to duties — results in a substantial increase in tariffs applied to goods coming from China China's own AETR rises dramatically to 33.5 percent under this scenario we add 25 percent tariffs on goods imported from Canada and Mexico that are not covered under the USMCA to the tariffs in Scenario 1 the overall AETR rises from 7.1 percent to 10.4 percent The impact is especially pronounced for these two countries: Canada's AETR increases to 11.9 percent (nearly 10 times higher than its benchmark level) The increase in the overall AETR — just over 3 percentage points — reflects the composition of imports affected by the new tariff While approximately half of imports from Canada and Mexico fall outside the scope of the USMCA and are therefore subject to the new measure these goods do not make up the most import-heavy segments of U.S where tariffs targeted high-volume sectors like steel and aluminum the newly taxed goods in Scenario 2 are more dispersed across sectors with lower aggregate import values the effect on the overall AETR is substantial but not as dramatic as the country-specific increases suggest Scenario 3 builds on the previous measures by adding a 25 percent tariff on all motor vehicles imports, regardless of origin. The products targeted by this policy fall primarily under Chapter 87 of the HTS, titled "Vehicles Other Than Railway or Tramway Rolling-Stock, and Parts and Accessories Thereof." Although this policy targets a single sector it affects imports from all major trading partners the overall AETR increases from 10.4 to 12.4 percent — with especially sharp effects in countries that are closely integrated into U.S The largest relative increase occurs in imports from Mexico and Canada two countries with deep integration into North American auto supply chains Mexico's AETR rises to 20.1 percent (a 30 percent increase relative to the previous scenario) This reflects the fact that a substantial share of U.S auto imports originates from these two countries and many of those goods fall outside of USMCA exemption provisions Its AETR increases from 2.5 to 4.4 percent — a substantial jump driven by its status as a major exporter of passenger vehicles to the U.S China's AETR remains unchanged at 33.5 percent as autos from China were already subject to elevated tariffs under prior scenarios the addition of auto tariffs in Scenario 3 disproportionately affects North American and European trading partners further raising the effective tariff burden on key sectors of U.S Scenario 4 further expands the scope of tariff measures by introducing a new 25 percent tariff on all imports from the EU This broad application leads to a substantial rise in the overall AETR The sharp increase reflects the scale of trade impacted: The EU accounts for approximately one-fifth of all U.S making it one of the U.S.'s largest trading partners the imposition of a uniform tariff across this volume of trade has a pronounced effect on the aggregate tariff rate The AETR for EU imports alone surges from 4.4 percent to 29.4 percent in this scenario one of the steepest increases observed across all trading partners in our simulations these estimates highlight the direct and immediate economic disruptions industries and consumers could face providing a valuable baseline to assess potential impacts before market reactions and supply-chain adjustments take place By combining detailed data on imports and tariffs at the product-country level we can estimate the overall tariff impact at the industry level we aggregate tariffs using each product-country pair's share of total industry imports as weights Note that we do not have data on the share of an industry that relies on imports so this calculation informs us of the impact on industries that have inputs which are most exposed to the proposed tariffs Industries are classified according to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) at the three-digit level This method provides a clear picture of tariff exposure across different industries allowing us to compare their vulnerability under various tariff scenarios Figure 4 highlights the sector-specific effects of the comprehensive tariff package introduced in Scenario 2 which includes a 20 percent tariff on all imports from China a 25 percent tariff on aluminum and steel imports from all countries and a 25 percent tariff on goods imported from Canada and Mexico that are not covered under the USMCA While these combined measures result in an overall AETR increase from 7.1 to 10.4 percent the chart shows that the impact is far from uniform across sectors The most affected industries are in manufacturing particularly those with strong exposure to imports from China and North America Fabricated metal products face the highest average tariff rate (above 30 percent) due to their direct inclusion under the steel and aluminum tariff measures apparel and textile products also see steep increases reflecting their reliance on imports from China and USMCA partners in categories not covered by the trade agreement and agriculture-related goods such as crops and forestry face much lower average tariffs This is consistent with their more limited exposure to the targeted trade flows or their continued protection under existing trade agreements and exemptions this chart illustrates how Scenario 2's multipronged tariff approach imposes concentrated costs on key segments of the U.S particularly intermediate and finished goods that depend on complex cross-border supply chains While the average increase in tariff levels is significant the real economic burden is felt most sharply in a handful of highly exposed sectors Figure 4 illustrates the AETR by industry under Scenario 2 in which tariffs on all imports from China increase by an additional 20 percent all imports on aluminum and steel increase by 25 percent and non-USMCA goods from Canada and Mexico are subject to a 25 percent tariff relative to the benchmark case The burden of these tariffs falls predominantly on manufacturing industries apparel and furniture each experiencing average tariff rates ranging between 10 percent and 15 percent Although we assume full pass-through of tariffs to domestic prices the industry's overall cost increase is estimated to be smaller than the headline 20 percent tariff This occurs because these industries source a portion of their imports from other countries that remain unaffected by the tariff increase Figure 5 illustrates how expanding tariffs to cover automobile imports reshapes the distribution of tariff burdens across industries Building on the measures in Scenario 2 — which already included 20 percent tariffs on all Chinese imports and 25 percent on non-USMCA goods from Canada and Mexico — Scenario 3 adds a 25 percent tariff on all auto imports significantly affecting sectors closely tied to the automotive supply chain This shift is immediately visible in the jump for transportation equipment which now faces average tariff rates above 25 percent placing it among the top three most affected sectors auto manufacturing on imported parts and finished vehicles Fabricated metals and leather products remain at the top of the distribution — consistent with earlier scenarios — as they continue to be impacted by the Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminum and exposure to non-USMCA trade textiles and electrical equipment also continue to face elevated average tariffs due to both their sourcing from China and regional trade partners Sectors with relatively modest exposure include food which remain near the bottom of the distribution These industries are less reliant on affected countries for imports or benefit from trade exemptions under existing agreements Figure 6 reveals the far-reaching impact of the most aggressive tariff package simulated which layers a 25 percent tariff on all EU imports on top of previously implemented measures: 20 percent on all Chinese imports 25 percent on non-USMCA goods from Canada and Mexico The result is a broad elevation of tariff exposure across most manufacturing sectors pushing the overall AETR to 17.0 percent and significantly amplifying pressures across key industries Fabricated metals — already heavily affected by the steel tariffs — now face an average tariff burden of over 35 percent with leather goods and transportation equipment close behind The auto tariff and the full coverage of EU imports drive up the average rate on transportation equipment to over 25 percent reflecting the EU's role as a major supplier of high-value finished vehicles and components more sectors are now pulled into the high-tariff range and textiles all facing average tariff rates of 18-22 percent The inclusion of the EU broadens the reach of the tariff burden beyond China and North America and affects a wider set of capital-intensive and consumer-intensive industries Our analysis of AETRs indicates that manufacturing and mining industries face the highest exposure under the proposed 2025 tariffs This finding aligns closely with evidence from the First Quarter 2025 CFO Survey manufacturing firms exhibit the strongest reactions to trade disruptions: Over 50 percent of manufacturing CFOs reported actively planning to diversify their supply chains nearly 40 percent accelerated purchases in anticipation of tariffs and a considerable share sought alternative foreign suppliers mining and utilities reported taking proactive measures such as diversifying supply chains and identifying new domestic suppliers consistent with the significant tariff exposure calculated for these industries This consistency underscores how tariff-related disruptions are prompting tangible strategic adjustments by firms especially within industries identified as most vulnerable by our AETR analysis We can also estimate AETRs at the county level by combining industry-specific tariff rates with the employment share of each industry within individual counties we weight the tariff faced by each industry by its employment share in the county then aggregate across all industries in each given county While this approach is necessarily approximate it offers a useful proxy for assessing how tariff burdens differ across regions and helps identify counties whose workforces may be most affected Figure 8 displays the geographic distribution of tariff incidence across U.S The impact in this case is spread quite evenly across counties we show the effects of Scenarios 3 (Figure 9a) and 4 (Figure 9b) Figure 9a illustrates the uneven geographic distribution of tariff exposure across the U.S While the nationwide AETR rises to 12.4 percent under this scenario — driven by the addition of a 25 percent tariff on all auto imports — the local impact varies considerably depending on the industrial composition of each region Counties shaded in darker blue and green (indicating average tariff levels of 2-7 percent) dominate much of the country reflecting regions where trade-exposed sectors are less central to local economic activity These areas are less reliant on global supply chains or major manufacturing hubs and thus feel more limited direct effects from the tariff expansion counties shaded in red and orange — which face average tariff rates exceeding 10 percent — cluster heavily in the industrial Midwest parts of the Great Lakes and some manufacturing-intensive areas of the South These regions include major auto and parts manufacturing zones — such as southern Michigan and parts of Tennessee and Kentucky — where the 25 percent auto tariff hits hardest The map reflects how deeply integrated these counties are in global automotive supply chains Southern California and parts of the Bay Area also register higher average tariffs (4-7 percent) likely due to their significant exposure to global trade in both consumer electronics and automotive products The map makes clear that while tariff increases are national in scope their economic footprint is intensely local with disproportionately high exposure in communities dependent on manufacturing and cross-border inputs These areas may face rising production costs disrupted supply chains and downstream employment effects if such tariffs are implemented Figure 9b depicts the geographical distribution under Scenario 4 which introduces the broadest and most aggressive tariff package in the analysis adding a 25 percent tariff on all EU imports to the measures already in place under Scenario 3 The map vividly illustrates how this expansion intensifies and geographically widens the economic exposure to tariffs across the U.S Counties shaded in darker red and orange — which now appear more frequently across the map — signal areas where AETRs exceed 10 percent and These high-tariff counties are concentrated in the Great Lakes region which are regions with strong manufacturing footprints and close supply-chain ties to the EU Midwestern industrial centers — especially in Michigan Ohio and Illinois — show increased intensity compared to Scenario 3 as the EU tariff hits imported inputs and finished goods from one of the U.S.’s largest trading partners These areas are highly integrated into transatlantic trade and host production clusters that depend on EU-origin intermediate goods and capital equipment manufacturing and trade hubs in North Carolina South Carolina and Alabama — states with growing foreign direct investment and vehicle assembly plants — also show elevated exposure These regions face the compounded effects of the EU tariff on top of previous measures on autos and metals This broadening geographic impact underscores how a full-scale EU tariff escalates tariff exposure from a mostly regional issue to a national economic concern affecting a wide array of industries and communities The increasing presence of mid- and high-tariff zones highlights the potential for more widespread supply chain disruption and cost pass-throughs in this most expansive scenario The geographic analysis of tariff exposure at the county level — which emphasizes employment composition across industries — aligns closely with recent CFO expectations about hiring in response to tariff policy As illustrated in Figure 10 from the First Quarter 2025 CFO Survey manufacturing firms — concentrated in regions heavily affected by the proposed tariffs — are significantly more likely to anticipate reducing employment with about 32 percent reporting plans to decrease hiring due to tariff concerns mining and utilities also express notable employment concerns with nearly 22 percent expecting decreased hiring These concerns are echoed in retail and wholesale trade with about one-quarter of them expecting declines in hiring due to tariff announcements These employment outlooks from CFOs reinforce our findings that counties specializing in manufacturing and mining face heightened vulnerability suggesting potential negative economic consequences such as job losses and reduced local economic activity in regions most exposed to higher tariffs While this study provides our best estimates of the effect of tariffs on different industries and regions of the U.S. The scenarios we presented do not incorporate proposals to impose reciprocal tariffs or additional tariffs on copper There is a high degree of uncertainty regarding which of these tariffs will be implemented generates uncertainty to consumers and firms A respondent to the First Quarter 2025 CFO Survey in charge of a manufacturing firm said While the tariffs will increase costs for the company we expect most of those costs to be passed on The bigger concern is what will the impact be on the overall demand." Another respondent in the same sector said "Tariffs remain an unknown that could have a large impact on our company due to both imports of our raw materials and exports of our finished product not to mention the impact of demand on our industrial customers." The analysis performed in the previous sections kept everything else constant which assumes that firms' decisions regarding import sources remained unchanged as some importers are planning to diversify their supply chains in response to proposed tariffs This is illustrated by the response of a manufacturing firm in the CFO Survey: "How can we plan if we do not know what the tariff situation is for the next five years Factory and supply chain sourcing decisions cannot be changed at moment's notice." this analysis did not consider changes in investment or hiring which could affect production and the level of imports the analysis is "static." A business services firm responding to the CFO Survey said "The impacts of tariffs constraining global trade could be very impactful to our business in cross-border payments — the uncertainty of what tariffs is spilling over into spending decisions." Around 25 percent of CFO Survey respondents were planning to reduce hiring and capital spending in response to tariffs in 2025 When focusing exclusively on the manufacturing sector these numbers increase to about 32 percent and 29 percent mining and utilities had a similar response The 2025 tariff proposals represent significant shifts in U.S with potentially large economic impacts varying across industries and regions Our analysis highlights that the immediate tariff burden — measured by the AETR — could rise substantially from a modest 2.2 percent in the benchmark scenario to as high as 17.0 percent under the most aggressive proposal (Scenario 4) While earlier tariffs on Chinese imports had relatively muted impacts due to shifts in supply chains the EU and automobiles threaten widespread disruptions across key U.S Regions deeply integrated into North American manufacturing supply chains — particularly automotive and metal-intensive industries — would bear the heaviest tariff burden under a scenario imposing 25 percent tariffs on Mexico and Canada and imports from aluminum and steel Indiana and others in the Midwest and Southeast as well as the Pacific Northwest due to its resource-based trade ties with Canada When tariffs on the EU and the auto sector are included these effects are further amplified and severely affect counties heavily reliant on such imports particularly those in transportation equipment These concerns are echoed by business leaders as shown by recent data from the First Quarter 2025 CFO Survey Over 30 percent of firms now rank trade and tariff policies as their most pressing business concern which is more than triple the share from the previous quarter manufacturing firms are actively adjusting strategies with more than half planning to diversify their supply chains and nearly one-third reducing their hiring plans mining and utilities also anticipate significant disruptions reflecting the industry's heightened tariff exposure the proposed tariffs may raise input costs disrupt supply chains and result in higher consumer prices potentially outweighing any targeted employment gains in protected industries Policymakers should carefully weigh these costs against intended policy goals and consider targeted measures to support the industries and communities most adversely impacted by these tariff changes Marina Azzimonti is a senior economist and research advisor, Zachary Edwards is a research analyst, Sonya Waddell is a vice president and economist, and Acacia Wyckoff is a research associate all in the Research Department at the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond For example, see the 2019 working paper "The Return to Protectionism" by Pablo Fajgelbaum, Pinelopi Goldberg, Patrick Kennedy and Amit Khandelwal and the 2021 paper "Tariff Pass-Through at the Border and at the Store: Evidence From US Trade Policy" by Alberto Cavallo See Mankiw's 2006 blog post "Outsourcing Redux."

The Richmond Economic Development Authority (EDA) has launched the Rainbow Painting Program. The program is offering up to $2,000 for paint, stain, and painting supplies per building. The commercial building must be within the Richmond city limits, and top priority is for street-side exteriors. Applicants must present a current bid to the EDA board for approval, must own the property, and new construction is not eligible. The EDA will need to do a verification before reimbursement is paid, and the work must be done between now and October 1st. The Rainbow Painting Program is designed to enhance the aesthetic appeal of buildings in the community and encourage property maintenance.

Argosy is developing the Mt Richmond light industrial park at the foot of Ōtāhuhu Head of development Marilyn Storey says international healthcare company Viatris has signed a 10-year lease for the first building and will move in early next year She says the tenant will have modern office space with breakout areas “We’ve got some landscaping on the site but but the open space in the Domain behind provides green views “A natural waterway at the back of the site That means there is no need for water retention tanks on the site.” Argosy development manager Simon Brake says Viatris the view of the mountain and the proximity to the Domain’s green space He says the overall site is conceptually similar to a mini-Highbrook Argosy is constructing a 12,000sq m facility Brake says the site is already making a positive impact on the area which has a long history of being industrial: “It’s a brand new state-of-the-art industrial estate that looks slightly out of place among its grungier neighbours There’s a neighbouring residential precinct which should provide a local pool of labour.” Argosy has a long-term goal for half its buildings to be green-rated by 2030 “By the time we finish the two industrial parks at Neilson St and Mt Richmond around 59% of our portfolio will be green,” says Storey She says Argosy’s focus on sustainability helps attract high-quality “A lot of innovation comes from sustainability and climate adaptation quality offices in our warehouse and industrial buildings The working environment in one of these is as good as working in an office in the centre of town.” Brake says this matters to potential tenants: “Industrial occupiers are among the most sophisticated occupiers If you look at what’s happening in the industrial space they need to attract the best talent – it’s just the same as your inner-city barrister chambers Which means they need a good level of attractive office space Some of our logistics tenants spend many millions on advanced handling equipment They need to have an office environment that matches the quality of their operations.” It’s not uncommon for developers to talk about sustainability, but Argosy has a distinctive approach to carbon reduction It focuses on retrofitting existing buildings to repurpose an existing building rather than to demolish it heritage-listed building at 8 Willis St in Wellington Storey says: “We achieved a 38% carbon saving and a 5.5 NABERs rating.” NABERs is the National Australian Built Environment Rating System that measures the sustainability performance of a building compared to others She says many commercial tenants choose retrofitted buildings over new constructions “It’s all about the sustainability push and lowering the carbon footprint You are making significant carbon savings by using an existing structure A lot of carbon goes into producing the cement concrete and steel used in a new construction.” Brake says when Argosy is looking for property suitable for retrofitting the key is if the building has “good bones” “Our most recent commercial office upgrade is 105 Carlton Gore Rd it has good bones – meaning it is structurally sound It requires some NBS upgrading like all buildings of a certain vintage When Argosy retrofitted 8 Willis St it took the NBS up to 130%, because that was a requirement of Stats NZ, which is a tenant in the building. “The building at 105 Carlton Gore Rd was below the threshold, so we had to do the seismic upgrade. But it had good bones, it’s in a great location and, because it was built before the Unitary Plan, it has a good parking ratio. We’re allowed to keep existing parking ratios. It made sense to recycle the building.” Though not everyone needs generous parking ratios, they can be vital for some tenants. “Say they have engineers working there who have to continually go out on site visits. Other tenants might have clients coming to visit who need car parks.” There are other benefits from retrofitting besides the lower carbon footprint and legacy planning requirements. It’s faster than building from scratch, typically developers can save six months, which means the buildings cost less. Storey says tenants get a building the same as the latest modern standard but at a lower price. “If they want a six-green-star-rated building, it costs less for us to reach that level by retrofitting than by constructing an entirely new building. Tenants get all the benefits of a new building at a lower rent”. 63% of commuters changed travel habits due to smart city initiative. The VFL Tigers defeated Box Hill by 25-points on Saturday night in Frankston, staving off a late comeback. Richmond responded perfectly to last week’s big loss against Casey, kicking six goals in the first quarter to establish a 19-point quarter-time lead. Young Tiger Jasper Alger kicked a goal in the first 30 seconds of the game, followed by Massimo Raso only minutes later. Ruckman Oliver Hayes-Brown also started well, kicking two first-quarter goals.  Richmond carried on the momentum in the second quarter, piling on a further five goals with Kaleb Smith and Kane McAuliffe starring. Second-gamer Sean Lai also kicked his first VFL goal with a brilliant running effort. Going into the main break, Richmond established a comfortable 39-point lead and looked to be running away with the game.  Catch all the highlights from the Tigers win over Box Hill. However, the Hawks came out of half-time looking like a different side, running the gauntlet on offence and moving the ball quickly as they worked their way back into the contest. Goals to Max Ramsden and Ben Cavarra reduced the margin back to 24 points at three-quarter time as the Tigers could manage only a solitary point for the term. In the last quarter the match really tightened up, with goals to Kye Declase and Sam Butler making things tense for Richmond. The Tigers needed something special to gain back ascendancy, and it came in the form of McAuliffe, who won a free kick and booted a goal with a massive bomb from outside 50. Alger then kicked his third of the match to seal the game, as Richmond ran out 25-point winners and secured their first win since Round 3. For Richmond, Smith continued his great form with a game-high 31 disposals and 10 marks, while McAuliffe (23 disposals and two goals) was also crucial. Small forwards Raso and Alger (three goals) were at their dangerous best and provided plenty of headaches for the Box Hill defence. Richmond  6.2. 11.4.  11.5. 14.7.

serving as the CEO of Kickstarter is a special calling “I am a young Black man from Richmond without a college degree Being able to take the helm of one of the most influential companies in the world at such a young age – 33 at the time – was a no-brainer for me,” Taylor said Despite Taylor’s youth, Kickstarter is only the latest in a string of successful career stops for the entrepreneur Taylor’s penchant for helping others find success is a consistent thread that weaves through his life and it helps explains his well-earned reputation as a dynamic and inspirational leader Taylor will share lessons he has learned during his rapid rise in business at Virginia Commonwealth University’s spring commencement ceremony on May 10 at the Greater Richmond Convention Center Taylor’s casual-but-confident demeanor was on display as was the diverse collection of art that covers the walls behind him in his California home While some in his position might be consumed by profits Taylor said it is meaning that drives his work whether it’s the feeling that art can evoke or the many lives that a company like Kickstarter can benefit “What gets me out of bed is that I can make a positive impact on people,” Taylor said Taylor grew up in Richmond’s Southside an experience that he said has been critical to his success “It has a distinctive feel and culture You had to be able to quickly adjust and maneuver,” he said Taylor admired the hardworking families in his neighborhood who persevered through a variety of challenges was a strong woman devoted to that determined mindset “So much of what I am is from her,” he said “She had a toughness and grit that came from where I came from.” Taylor recognized that his creativity was one of his greatest strengths and that technology represented an area where he could flourish. The Broad Rock public library became a constant in his life when he found himself homeless and living out of his car during the latter part of high school The library provided temporary shelter and access to a computer and he explored the internet and its vast possibilities – determined not to become a victim of his circumstances “With technology I felt like anybody can do it that it’s something for regular guys and girls I loved the democratization of success that technology offered,” Taylor said “It’s both innate and cultivated.” Taylor attended Virginia Tech for a year before dropping out after starting his first company He sold that company two years later and moved to California Taylor soon would establish ET Enterprises that led him to being recognized by “Forbes 30 Under 30” in 2018 for his innovation in the social media marketing space. He also co-founded GrowthHackers.com an online community for growth marketers. In the case of each company that he started Taylor said he identified a problem and then developed a solution that could help people who were facing that problem Taylor helped lead on-demand rental car company Skurt and marketing software company Qualaroo to successful acquisitions served as CMO for the e-commerce company Sticker Mule and oversaw growth strategy for new social products for Microsoft. Immediately prior to joining Kickstarter as CEO an online marketplace for buying and selling fine art Taylor was named one of the world’s most innovative CMOs by Business Insider and one of the world’s most influential CMOs by Forbes. Meanwhile Kickstarter has been named one of Time magazine’s 100 most influential companies he said earning his mother’s approval for his career path outranks any accolades he has received both professionally and personally “Mom thought I was a crazy person for dropping out of college and moving to California to pursue my dream,” he said Taylor’s acute business instincts are equaled by his wide-ranging interest in arts and culture “It’s a huge part of my life,” he said VCU’s “extraordinary” arts program is part of what inspired Taylor to begin to work with his hometown university as is its commitment to the entrepreneurial spirit that is so close to his heart Taylor is currently working with Garret Westlake vice provost for innovation and strategic design, to see firsthand how VCU is giving people with unorthodox backgrounds the chance to explore business opportunities.  “The work they are doing is so inspiring,” Taylor said “I feel like VCU and I have some beautiful synergy.” Taylor has been appointed as an affiliate faculty fellow at VCU for the 2025-26 academic year. As part of a collaboration between the VCU School of Business and the Office of the Provost “Everette will engage in student mentoring guest lecturing and help shape the future of higher education by sharing his insights as one of the world's leading technology executives,” Westlake said.  Taylor “is one of the most authentic and human-centered leaders I have encountered,” Westlake said “I believe his success at Kickstarter is due in part to his empathy and ability to design products and services that truly meet the needs of users.” Taylor said humility and avoiding an inflated view of himself are critical to his approach to leadership And while his public image as a CEO might paint him as an extrovert “Somebody told me the best CEOs are impatient because they value time,” he said Taylor also sees himself as passionate “Not everyone loves that,” he said of his direct nature “I don’t think people are honest and direct in life My word really matters to me – honestly Taylor values the opportunity to speak at VCU’s commencement especially at a university that he believes is involved in innovative work Taylor said, he “sees the humanity in people Taylor said he can promise his speech at commencement will be authentic and he hopes grads “walk away with some good gems.” “I have no idea yet what I will speak about,” he confessed “I don’t write anything down at all I want to feel like we are sitting in a cafe in Paris Subscribe to VCU News at
