Tariffs impact U.S. investment costs

Kyle Pomerleau examines how tariffs affect the cost structure of new investment in the U.S.

According to Pomerleau, recent analysis indicates that tariffs should not be viewed as sales taxes but rather as tools that penalize investment similarly to income taxes.

Pomerleau previously found that tariffs result in lower overall GDP and income, even as specific sectors such as steel production may benefit. He has also questioned whether research on automation supports calls for a one-time wealth tax. These analyses highlight his focus on the broader impacts of tax and trade policy on investment and economic growth.
