WORLD VIEW Trump Tariffs Shave U.S. Growth Declaring himself to be a "tariff man," President Trump imposed a series of escalating tariffs on Chinese goods. The tariff war started in early 2018 with a 25 percent tariff on 818 Chinese products and morphed into 10-25 percent tariffs on virtually all Chinese exports in late 2019. Economists estimate that the tariffs increased U.S. prices by 1 percent and shaved 0.25 percent off GDP growth in 2019. Source: Media and research reports, December 2019. Please round your responses to the nearest whole number. If GDP grew by $800 billion in 2019, a. how much potential output was lost as a result of the Trump tariffs? $ billion b. If a new house costs $250,000 to construct, how many houses could have been produced with that potential output? c. If the U.S. population is $320 million, how much output and income growth would have been realized for the average person in 2019 without the tariffs? $ d. Imports from China totaled $450 billion in $2019, and the average tariff was 20 percent, How much tax revenue was raised? $ billion e. Assuming two thirds of the tariff on Chinese goods in (d) above was passed on to the U.S. consumer, and there were 120 million households in the U.S. in 2019, how much did the tariffs cost the typical U.S household? $
