The Unintended Consequences of U.S. Steel Import Tariffs: A Quantification of the Impact During 2002 (2003)

This study measures the impact on jobs in the steel-consuming sectors of higher steel prices during 2002 caused by steel tariffs, the imposition of trade remedy penalties on imports, domestic steel plant shut downs, and relative international steel costs.

“The key issue now is whether the ITC will look at the impact [of steel tariffs] not just on U.S. steel makers but also on steel users. The ITC might start by consulting a recent study by …Trade Partnership Worldwide.” — Wall Street Journal editorial, Feb. 23, 2003
