Effects of the 2018 Tariffs on Washing Machines Three economists, Aaron Flaanen (Federal Reserve Board), Ali Hortaçsu (University of Chicago), and Felix Tintelnot (University of Chicago) just published a working paper on the effects of these tariffs: “The Production Relocation and Price Effects of U.S. Trade Policy: The Case of Washing Machines.” Their econometric results are not unexpected, but with a twist: We find that in response to the 2018 tariffs … , the price of washers rose by nearly 12 percent; the price of dryers—a complementary good not subject to tariffs—increased by an equivalent amount. Instead of increasing washer prices by 25%, domestic manufacturers apparently increased them by 12%, and hid another 12% increase on a good of roughly the same price that is usually bought along with a new washer. Why competition did not prevent this differential pricing is unexplained; perhaps there is little competition among the three producers of this industry, especially given the tariff protection? econlib.org
