American firms more likely to report increasing their prices than non-American firms. Essentially no firm said they would cut their prices in response to tariffs
April 15, 2025 at 10:04 PM
In 2025Q1, American firms were more likely than non-Americans to change their prices and adjust their supply chains
April 15, 2025 at 10:04 PM
In the first quarter of 2025 (pre-"Liberation Day"), huge spike in American firms being negatively affected by tariffs
April 15, 2025 at 10:04 PM
Methodology can separate firms being hit with current pressure or concerned about the risk of future pressure
April 15, 2025 at 10:04 PM
New paper on "Geoeconomic Pressure" leverages LLMs to measure the effect of tariffs, export controls, and sanction on firms worldwide". We find a massive increase in 2025 Q1 in tariffs (thread follows)
