Zusammenfassung:This paper studies the impacts of the 2018 U.S. tariff surges on export prices and adjustments of sales across different markets of Chinese exporters. The finding that U.S. tariffs did not affect the free-on-board price of Chinese exports is robust to controlling for firm-related fixed effects.

Finally, by surveying managers of exporting firms, we shed light on potential impediments to firms’ adjustments of export prices and sales.
