I do not think that the government's formula is an appropriate way to think about reciprocal tariffs. And it is unclear what the note references or doesn’t from my research with Cavallo et al. But I believe our work suggests the value for the “elasticity of import prices to tariffs” should be close to 1. If that value were used, rather than 0.25, I believe their calculation of reciprocal tariffs would be lower by a factor of four.
USTR: "The elasticity of import prices with respect to tariffs, φ, is 0.25. The recent experience with U.S. tariffs on China has demonstrated that tariff passthrough to retail prices was low (Cavallo et al, 2021)." Cavallo et al: φ is 0.945. aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.12…

The Norwegian Centre Party (SP) is an extreme outlier on Huijsmans-Rodden`s urban-rural divide score. The party has almost exclusively rural electoral support.

Had the pleasure of discussing a great paper by Samsonov and @senkovmx at the @DemoTrans workshop today in Utrecht🇳🇱 Their novel model suggests that allowing the use of microtargeting in political campaigns may have positive effects on welfare👍💰

Høyre ligger an til å bli største parti for første gang i moderne tid. Arbeiderpartiet er på all-time-low. Oppslutningen om Senterpartiet er tilbake på normalnivå.
