2) There are specific industries you want to develop (national security, high value added, etc) that you want to learn by doing and current capacity is small relative to national demand.
Putting tariffs on those industries will shift resources to those industries, taking away from others

Mostly what you are missing here is that the reason prices go up is because the size of the pie got smaller. No amount of moving money around changes that fact.
Tarrifs are useful if:
1) You are undeveloped country that can't raise income taxes and need revenue, or

Question on this graph: what percent of worker are non-managerial? Does that big gap between non-managerial and all workers, plus that all workers is below trend, imply that managerial worker were *very* substantially below trend?

My intuition would be in-migration *if there are not other barriers to construction* would lower prices/rents in long run but rise them in short run.

Searching for Immigration, rents, shift-share instruments I find most papers find increased rents from in migration. Will need to read to see if deportation instead of in-migration is why this paper different.

The first sentence doesn't come from Smith, it comes from Say. It's not incredibly far from what he actually thought though.
Marx quoted the two in that order, some one just removed the first reference.
