Recommendation
This illuminating analysis from economists Mary Amiti, Stephen J. Redding and David E. Weinstein finds that the higher tariffs on Chinese exports to the United States that took effect in May 2019 will inevitably influence the daily lives of Americans, as the 10% levies did in 2018. Because tariffs both raise the prices of goods and lower the demand for them, the authors determine that the duties will create significant market distortions and burdens on consumers.
