When Tariffs Disrupt Global Supply Chains 

Authors: Gene M. Grossman (Princeton University) and  Elhanan Helpman (Harvard University) 

Grossman and Helpman study unanticipated tariff on imports of intermediate goods in a setting with firm-to-firm supply relationships. Specifically, they study a setting where global supply chains are formed in anticipation of free trade, and, once they are in place, the home government surprises with an input tariff.

Johnson Prize, the Bernard-Harms Prize and fellowships from the Sloan Foundation and the Guggenheim Memorial Foundation.
