Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
We estimate the price effect of U.S. import restrictions on washers. The 2012
and 2016 antidumping duties against South Korea and China were accompanied by
downward or minor price movements along with production relocation to other export
platform countries. With the 2018 tariffs, on nearly all source countries, the price of
washers increased nearly 12 percent. Interestingly, the price of dryers—not subject
to tariffs—increased by an equivalent amount. Factoring in dryer prices and price
increases by domestic brands, the 2018 tariffs on washers imply a tariff elasticity of
consumer prices of above one.
