Abstract

This study analyzes the impact of tariff imposition announcements on the stock prices of 1,194 U.S. companies during the first Trump administration, using a unique sample of 4,624 announcements made by or against the U.S. between January 2018 and August 2019. We find that tariff announcements lead to negative (cumulative) average abnormal stock returns. These negative wealth effects occur regardless of whether the Trump administration imposes safeguard tariffs to protect domestic industries or foreign countries announce retaliatory tariffs. Moreover, the adverse impact is primarily driven by announcements involving China, with variations linked to sector-specific, tariff, trade, and firm characteristics.

特朗普第一届政府期间，股价对关税征收公告的反应

本研究使用2018年1月至2019年8月期间美国发布或针对美国的4624项公告的独特样本，分析了特朗普第一届政府期间关税征收公告对1194家美国公司股价的影响。我们发现关税公告导致负（累积）平均异常股票收益。无论特朗普政府是为了保护国内产业而征收保护性关税，还是外国宣布报复性关税，都会产生负面的财富效应。此外，负面影响主要是由涉及中国的公告驱动的，其变化与特定行业、关税、贸易和企业特征有关。
