Local Labor Market Effects of the 2002 Bush Steel Tariffs†
By James Lake and Ding Liu*
President George W. Bush imposed safeguard tariffs on steel
in early 2002. Using US input-output tables and a generalized
difference-in-difference methodology, we analyze the local labor
market employment effects of these tariffs depending on the local
labor market’s reliance on steel as an input and as part of local production. The tariffs did not boost local steel employment but substantially depressed local employment in steel-consuming industries
for many years after Bush removed them. The tariffs also led to a
persistent exit of steel-intensive manufacturing establishments, suggesting a role for plant-level fixed entry costs in translating the temporary shock into persistent outcomes

The large increase in steel tariffs under GW Bush did not cause an increase in steel-industry employment.

But it did hurt the US industries that use steel to make things, reducing employment there long after the tariffs were gone.

Law and economics, and the labour market: a comprehensive research agenda - European Journal of Law and Economics This article reviews the evolution of law and economics as applied to the study of labour law and labour market issues, as an introduction to the articles included in this special issue. This evolution can be divided into three main stages. Initially, the focus was on the negative effects of labour law on efficiency. This was followed by a stage devoted to examining the role of labour law in addressing market failures. The third stage is marked by the expansion of empirical analysis, driven by the development of causal inference techniques. Throughout this evolution, labour economics has been a key partner in this subfield, with a fruitful exchange of concepts. The result of this interaction between disciplines is a kind of comprehensive research agenda, where law and economics related to the labour market retain the typical characteristics of detailed and nuanced analyses of institutions, legal practice, and the enforcement of legal regulations. The articles in this special issue illustrate this comprehensive perspective. They cover labour tribunals, severance pay, and worker representation at the firm level.

🚨My new article in the EJLE is out! Entitled ‘Law and economics, and the labour market: a comprehensive research agenda’, the article reflects on the evolution of law and economics in the context of labour law and labour market institutions.
