SUMMARY:“What Can We Expect From the Administration’s U.S. Tariff Policies?”
DESCRIPTION:Jim will discuss the economics of tariffs and tariff policies. He will describehow tariff taxes work\, who pays the taxes\, and how the tax-costs filter \n\n\n\nthrough the economy. He will describe the effects of tariffs on the econo-mies of the countries that charge the tariff and the countries on which the \n\n\n\ntariff is charged. Along the way\, he will explore why economists do not liketariffs and why politicians do like them.Steve will discuss the administration’s tariff policies and their potential \n\n\n\neffects on international trade and trade relations with its allies and adver-saries. He will explore the complexities of measuring imports\, especially \n\n\n\nwith respect to intermediate goods\, and the difficulty of forecasting re-sponses\, and perhaps retaliation\, by U.S. trading partners. \n\n\n\nSteve spent his career as an international trade lawyer in more than fifty \n\n\n\ncountries. He worked in private law practice\, US Government\, and for in-ternational organizations such as USAID\, World Bank and United Nations. \n\n\n\nSteve and his partner Kathleen Hughes live in Magnolia North.Jim is a U.S. Navy veteran and a retired economist\, who spent most of hiscareer doing economic research for the Navy as a defense contractor.Since retiring\, he has pursued his interest in U.S. economic history andeconomic policy.
