@USTradeRep Lighthizer was questioned about the Huntsman IP case during the @WaysMeansCmte hearing on US/China trade relations. @WSJ detailed the decade-long case in this front-page story last year, by me and @bobdavis187 wsj.com/articles/how-c… via @WSJ

Somebody ask Powell if, when he said "we estimate that gross domestic product (GDP) rose a little less than 3 percent last year," he was referring to calendar year 2018 vs 2017 or q4 vs q4.

Has anyone asked Lighthizer about what the next step is if US and China DON'T - and NEVER - reach an agreement? If so what was his answer?

The kicker:
"And if he settles for something less? It would have been better to have done nothing, says Scott Kennedy, a China expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies" twitter.com/greg_ip/status…

Trump may be about to repeat Bush's and Obama's mistakes on dealing with China: settling for cosmetic changes and empty promises because he's too afraid of the fallout from confrontation (lower stocks, angry farmers). My column. wsj.com/articles/on-ch… pic.twitter.com/nxNi6F88lC

Is it though? Maybe for legacy tech giants, but for instance the $FB acquisition of Instagram was thought to be a huge mistake by everyone at the time. In hindsight it's probably one of the best acquisitions ever. I doubt regulators would've been able to see that when othersdidnt

Yes. Thomas Wollmann's new paper on local dialysis center mergers might be a nice case study. HHIs in dialysis have risen almost entirely due to small mergers (<HSR) that were not reviewed by the FTC. The FTC could go back to those and require divestitures. twitter.com/greg_ip/status…

Problem: small tech acquisitions by large platforms are probably very hard to undo cleanly. Would a divestiture 5 yrs later improve competition? Maybe not. (Unlike dialysis clinics, my last tweet). Remedies that encourage entry might be mandatory interfaces, open APIs etc. twitter.com/greg_ip/status…

Unraveling past mergers would be a huge deal & not all that likely. Looking at current conduct or new mergers still a big deal.

Potentially very big deal if FTC deems past mergers anticompetitive. cc @ProfFionasm @JimPethokoukis @MartinSGaynor @mims twitter.com/brkend/status/…

Fed chair Powell came close to endorsing average inflation or price level targeting today, telling Toomey (R-PA) that interest rates are more likely to hit zero in the future, dragging down inflation expectations, which "are the most important driver of actual inflation."

Sen. Tom Cotton asks Powell why the labor share of income is so low, citing this story by my colleague @pkwsj wsj.com/articles/despi…
"It's a really good question," says Powell.

Wow. Sen. Schatz asks Powell if the White House has ever communicated with him about rates.
Very long awkward pause.
Powell says probably not appropriate for him to comment on conversations with other government officials.

Inexcusable miscommunication by former Fed chair Yellen. "Past experience" is redundant.

1/ I usually find @portereduardo interesting and challenging. But this Sunday Review article, "Don't Fight the Robots. Tax Them.", reflects too well (and will contribute to) our national confusion over "automation". Robots can be workers' best friends! Allow me to explain... twitter.com/portereduardo/…

Lighthizer allies respond: No split between Trump and Lighthizer on China policy. Just a dispute over terminology. Could be. Or could be Lighthizer play to make sure Trump doesn't get down on him. wsj.com/articles/offic… via @WSJ
