@Elliptica @KaiserKitty @Frondeur @KingOfWhiteAmerica @ThatWouldBeTelling dont ask why they use adjusted values

dont ask why they values from different papers from different years

ask why they had to fucking fix that shit after people tried to guess their formula of those insane numbers

@Frondeur @Elliptica @KaiserKitty @KingOfWhiteAmerica @ThatWouldBeTelling https://www.aei.org/economics/president-trumps-tariff-formula-makes-no-economic-sense-its-also-based-on-an-error/

>However, the elasticity of import prices with respect to tariffs should be about one (actually 0.945), not 0.25 as the Trump Administration states. Their mistake is that they base the elasticity on the response of retail prices to tariffs, as opposed to import prices as they should have done. The article they cite by Alberto Cavallo and his coauthors makes this distinction clear. The authors state that “tariffs [are] passed through almost fully to US import prices,” while finding “more mixed evidence regarding retail price increases.” It is inconsistent to multiply the elasticity of import demand with respect to import prices by the elasticity of retail prices with respect to tariffs.

im guessing this guy is a nepo baby that gives good head. you dont get to "misunderstand" the paper youre working off of.

@IAMAL_PHARIUS @KaiserKitty @Elliptica @Frondeur @KingOfWhiteAmerica @ThatWouldBeTelling economics is not in the realm of math, it's in the realm of art, because e cannot be assigned a numbered value. all these brainlets are trying to solve for something irrational and mercurial.
