问HN:经济学家们,你们对美国的关税有什么看法?

4作者: pinkmuffinere9 个月前原帖
每个人和他们的亲戚对关税都有自己的看法,但我担心我听到的大多数观点都带有很强的党派色彩,或者关注的细节与实际关税的核心内容无关(例如,数学错误、实施细节、不一致的沟通等)。我希望能听到一些在这一领域有一定资历的人对“原始”关税本身影响的分析(即,不仅仅是沙发专家)。以下是一些具体的关注话题: 1. 我听说过一个观点,认为关税会激励制造业回流到美国。这种说法在多大程度上是正确的?是否有其他方法可以实现类似的效果? 2. 这篇文章(https://www.economicforces.xyz/p/is-dollar-dominance-good-for-the)似乎声称,提高关税将减少贸易赤字,从而减少财政赤字,避免一些特里芬困境(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triffin_dilemma)的问题。这种说法在多大程度上是正确的?是否有其他方法可以实现类似的效果? 3. 还有其他我遗漏的关于关税的合理论点吗?

Everyone and their cousin has an opinion on the tariffs, but I fear that most of what I hear is very partisan, or focuses on details aside from the meat of the actual tariffs (eg, math errors, details of rollout, inconsistent communication, etc). I&#x27;m interested to hear an analysis of the impact from the &#x27;raw&#x27; tariffs themselves, from people that have some credentials in this space (ie, not just armchair experts). To give some specific topics of interest:<p>1. I&#x27;ve heard the argument that tariffs will incentivize manufacturing to return to the US. To what degree is this true? Are there alternative methods that achieve similar things?<p>2. This article (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.economicforces.xyz&#x2F;p&#x2F;is-dollar-dominance-good-for-the) seems to claim that increased tariffs will reduce trade deficit, in turn reducing financial deficit, which avoids some issues of a Triffin Dilemma (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Triffin_dilemma). To what degree is this true? Are there alternative methods to achieve a similar thing?<p>3. Are there other legitimate arguments for &#x2F; against the tariffs that I&#x27;ve missed?
