We develop a new simulated method of moments estimator to estimate this … elasticity from disaggregate price and trade-flow data and we use it within Eaton and Kortum's (2002) Ricardian model. We apply … elasticity of roughly four, nearly fifty percent lower than Eaton and Kortum's (2002) approach. This difference doubles the …

The effects on output and productivity tend to be magnified when tariffs rise during expansions, for advanced economies …, and when tariffs go up, not down. Our results are robust to a large number of perturbations to our methodology, and we …
