“How Do Tariffs Work?” with Amit Khandelwal, Yale Economics Department

ISPS FACULTY SHORT COURSE ON TRADE POLICY & GOVERNANCE

How do tariffs work? Under what conditions are tariffs passed through to consumers as higher prices, or absorbed by producers?  What is the micro evidence on these questions? Please join us as we explore these questions with Amit Khandelwal, the Dong-Soo Hahn Professor of Global Affairs and Economics at Yale University. A light breakfast will be served.

This event is part of a short course series being sponsored by ISPS for all Yale faculty across the University who are interested in learning about trade and trade policy. The course will cover basic theoretical models and empirical results in international trade. The goal is to provide faculty interested in understanding trade policy with a good foundation in the intuitions and basic findings in the academic literature on trade, including the range of policy options considered and a background for interpreting claims about alternative trade policies. The presentations will include development and analysis of mathematical models, and so a background in microeconomics and calculus will be helpful.

This event is open to Yale faculty only.
