I feel incredibly grateful to have people like you all in my corner," Grant said in a statement shared by family on Thursday. In this paper I develop analytical solutions for optimal trade policy in a general setting with non-separable demand and supply, and including both protectionism and terms-of-trade manipulation. In an application to U.S.

import data, estimates of import demand and export supply elasticities are substantially lower among goods that pass standard tests relative to those that fail.

Having trouble? I model the choice of a policy maker who simultaneously decides which things to group together and what level of policy to apply to each group. In effect, this creates a two-tiered tariff system: a firm in an SEZ faces a lower rate on a given product than the prevailing tariff faced by most buyers.

A Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) student from Michigan who disappeared just before Thanksgiving says he is "grateful" after being found safe in Pennsylvania.

Matthew Grant, 22, was seen driving away from his off-campus home in Henrietta, New York, on Nov. 20 before he vanished for weeks without his phone or wallet.

"I want to say a huge thank you to everyone that helped in the search process.

However, much recent work on trade policy investigates mechanisms which violate these assumptions, such as global supply chains or selective tariff reductions on intermediates. Taking the classification of U.S. imports as a leading example, I show that its design is consistent with this theory. His family has posted information on social media thanking everyone for aiding in the search for their son, who went missing on Nov.

20 from Henrietta, N.Y," Johnson said.

Where Do the Data Come From? Contrary to common wisdom, cutting middlemen out can, but does not necessarily, benefit consumers. I develop a theory of endogenous classification and show that accounting for the motives underlying the design of classification systems has important implications for empirical research.

I show that aggregation in data reported at the code level leads to large biases when estimating parameters such as demand and supply elasticities, and that the size of this bias is correlated with tariffs as expected under a theory of endogenous classification. Tariff Exemptions in the US-China Tariff War (with Davin Chor and Binging Li) (draft available on request)

In 2018-2019, the US imposed a swathe of Section 301 tariffs on around two-thirds of its imports from China.

Using Trade Policy to Discriminate Across Importers (appendices)

American Economic Review, (2020) 110(5): 1540-71.

Tariffs are generally assumed to depend on the product being imported, not the identity of the importer. I show theoretically that discrimination across buyers of the same good is optimal from the policymaker's perspective whenever a tax is intended to raise prices for sellers.

The proposed mechanism is simple, but can account for empirical patterns in wholesale firm size, prices and markups that we document using original survey data on imported consumer goods in Nigeria. During the search, Grant reportedly learned that authorities were looking for him and he went to a police station in Palmerton to call his mother and inform her that he was safe, according to WHAM.

Palmerton is nearly 300 miles southeast of Rochester.

MISSING BRITISH BOY FOUND ALIVE IN FRANCE AFTER 6 YEARS: REPORT

National Park Service spokesperson Kathleen Sandt confirmed the involvement of US Park Rangers and staff from Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area and the Appalachian National Scenic Trail (both NPS units) in the search for Grant.

Sandt added that Grant reportedly walked into a police station and said he believed people were looking for him, and "NPS rangers facilitated the reunion" of Grant and his family.

Sandra Johnson, RIT's senior vice president of student affairs, thanked the RIT community for "their steadfast support" in locating Grant.

"Missing RIT student Matthew Grant has been found and is safe.

"It's hard to understand just how much support you will have, regardless of how you are doing personally. Following workers in the German Socio-economic Panel who experience job loss following either plant closures or exposure to import shocks, we find personality is a key mediator of worker-level outcomes like employment, household earnings, and take-up of public benefits, as well as adjustment behaviors like industry and occupation switching.

A finer classification better targets policy but is harder to design and enforce. We illustrate how these arise in context and show that standard tests identify estimates that are likely to be biased. Less well-known is the fact that companies could seek exclusions from these tariffs under an administrative process managed by the Office of the US Trade Representative.
