Abstract

In 2017 the US imposed several tariffs on imports from China. In our study, we derive both the necessary and the sufficient conditions for the tariff to be welfare-enhancing using the ex-post approach. We found the data satisfies both the necessary and the sufficient conditions. So, we conclude that U.S. welfare has improved due to US import tariff on Chinese products.
