Abstract

The Trump administration imposed tariffs on Chinese imports starting in 2018. American firms that rely on Chinese imports were allowed to apply for exclusions for products. In this paper, we investigate political factors affecting the approval rates for these tariff exclusions. We also consider factors that may impact this estimate, such as firm selection into requesting and legitimacy of request. We find that tariff exclusion is increasing in the Republican vote share. Counties with a 10 percentage point higher Republican vote share experience a 10% higher probability of tariff exclusion approval.

301 条款与政治：关税排除分析

特朗普政府从2018年开始对中国进口商品征收关税。依赖中国进口产品的美国企业获准申请产品排除在外。在本文中，我们调查了影响这些关税排除申请批准率的政治因素。我们还考虑了可能影响这一估计的因素，如企业选择申请和申请的合法性。我们发现，关税排除会随着共和党得票率的增加而增加。共和党得票率高 10 个百分点的县，关税排除获得批准的概率就高 10%。
