We review theoretical and empirical work on the economic effects of the United States and China trade relations during … economic effects on different outcomes. We then focus on the recent U.S.-China trade war. We discuss methods used to evaluate … its effects, describe its economic effects, and analyze if this increase in trade protectionism reverted the effects of …

local institutional knowledge. We posit that a portion of the fixed costs of entering a specific export market can be used … toward costs of acquiring imports from that same market, and vice versa. Using dis-aggregated transactions data for Chinese … scope. Using a structural model, we estimate that the simultaneous export and import in a given country reduces export and …

I study how people understand and reason about trade and which factors shape their views on trade policy. I design and … run large-scale surveys and experiments in the U.S. to elicit respondents' knowledge and understanding of trade. I also … ask about their perceived economic gains and distributional impacts from trade and their views on trade restrictions and …

We study optimal dynamic trade policies in an Eaton-Kortum model with technology diffusion through trade. The process … of innovation and diffusion is one in which new ideas are combined with insights from others. Trade thus affects … endowments, and other alterations to trade patterns that affect the degree and quality of diffusion. We provide explicit formulas …

1697 goods originating in 112 countries, to analyze the impact on Canadian imports of interwar Canadian trade policy …This paper uses a new dataset on the universe of Canadian imports and tariffs between 1924 and 1936, disaggregated into …, including the 1932 Ottawa trade agreements. Rather than use a dummy variable approach, we compute the impact of individual …

We estimate the impact of trade policy uncertainty (TPU) on CES import price indices, focusing on the implications of …

We show that reducing the probability of a trade war promotes long-term importer-exporter relationships that ensure … trade war. Extending the standard general equilibrium trade model to encompass potential trade wars and relational contracts …

We use the dynamics of U.S. imports across goods in the period around the U.S.-China trade war with a model of exporter … dynamics to estimate the dynamic path of the probability of transiting between Normal Trade Relations and a trade war state. We … find (i) there was no increase in the likelihood of a trade war before 2018; (ii) the trade war was initially expected to …
