A policy brief written by Mary Lovely, professor of economics and senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, and Yang Liang, a PhD candidate in economics at Maxwell, was featured in the Bloomberg News article "Trump's China Tariffs Would Hit U.S. Firms More, Peterson Says." "The proposed tariffs will hit bilateral trade in fast-growing, knowledge-based sectors the hardest," Lovely and Wang say. "Rather than hitting the administration’s intended target -- Chinese firms that may have unfairly obtained American technology -- the proposed tariffs would actually inflict damage on U.S. high-technology sectors." 05/17/18
