Trade Protection
along Supply Chains
The authors combine detailed information on antidumping
duties with US input-output data to study the effects of trade protection along
supply chains. They find that tariffs in upstream industries have large
negative effects on downstream industries, raising input prices and decreasing
employment, sales, and investment. Their baseline estimates for the last seven
complete presidential terms (1988-2016) indicate that around 570,000 US jobs
were lost in downstream industries due to AD duties against China in upstream
industries, while in the first two years of Trump’s presidency almost
200,000 jobs were lost in downstream industries due to such measures.
