| Abstract: | The characteristics of trade protectionist American businesspeople and their companies are empirically determined. Many theories which have been used to characterize trade protectionist American businesspeople and their firms (e.G., the "deindustralization" theory) do not receive empirical confirmation. The results show that managers of American firms that export either goods or services tend to exhibit a higher level of trade protectionist sentiments than do managers of American firms that do not export. This result is contrary to a key assumption supporting the historically liberal nature of U.S. trade policy. |
