讲座内容摘要 | Using disaggregated US household expenditure data, we study the distributional consequences of the US-China trade war. We estimate a highly flexible demand system to compute household-specific price indexes. The increases in US tariffs on Chinese products between 2018 and 2019 led to an average price index increase of 1.09\%, with a disproportionately larger impact on low-income households. Specifically, we document a 0.9 percentage point smaller increase in the household price index for the top 20\% income households compared to the bottom 20\%. The difference stems from wealthier households' greater expenditure adjustments and smaller reductions in product variety. | ||
