| Abstract: | Strategic trade policy theory suggests how import protection can be export-promoting under increasing returns to scale. The author tests this hypothesis for 200 U.S. import-competing industries characterized by varying degrees of increasing returns to scale. After removing political economy endogeneities in tariff and non-tariff barriers, targeted import protection most frequently has been export-deterring. Moreover, export deterrence has been greatest in industries displaying the strongest static dynamic scale economies. |
