A history of U.S. tariffs : quantifying strategic trade‑offs in tariff policy design

Martínez-García, Enrique; Sposi, Michael - 2026

U.S. tariff policy has historically balanced competing goals-revenue, protection, and reciprocity. Policy priorities have shifted over time in response to changing economic and political conditions. Using a calibrated general equilibrium model, we illustrate these trade-offs through the lens of...

A Dynamic Theory of Optimal Tariffs

Dávila, Eduardo; Rodríguez-Clare, Andrés; Schaab, Andreas - 2025

The classic tariff formula states that the optimal unilateral tariff equals the inverse of the foreign export supply elasticity. We generalize this result and show that an intertemporal tariff formula characterizes the efficient tariff in a large class of dynamic heterogeneous agent (HA)...

Optimal Tariffs with Uncertainty and Downstream Fixed Costs

Constantatos, Christos; Pinopoulos, Ioannis - 2023

We consider an upstream firm dealing with a downstream firm either via a two-part tariff or a linear tariff. The downstream firm faces demand uncertainty, it is risk-averse, and it must incur a fixed cost before demand realization. We show that when the fixed cost is relatively high, it is...

Optimal Tariffs and Technology Adoption : Most Favored Nation vs. Secret Trade Agreements

Lestage, Romain - 2023

We study how the most-favored-nation (MFN) clause affects the tariffs of an importer, technology adoption by exporters, and global welfare. Our main contribution is to consider the disclosure effect of the MFN clause, that is, the fact that it makes tariffs not only uniform but also observable...

Optimal Tariffs When Labor Income Taxes Are Distortionary

Kocherlakota, Narayana Rao - 2025

A classic result in trade theory is that it is socially optimal to set the tariff on a good equal to the inverse of the elasticity of its foreign supply. However, this result is based on the assumption that the government can use lump-sum taxes. The paper considers a simple open representative...

Tariff policy for a monopolist under incomplete information

Kolev, Dobrin R.; Prusa, Thomas J. - 1997

We examine the incentives for a government to levy an optimal tariff on a foreign monopolist. With complete information, the home government uses tariffs to extract rents and therefore implements a policy of discriminatory tariffs entailing higher tariffs on more efficient firms. By contrast if...
