Greetings,

As the flurried discussion around U.S. tariff policy and its effects on business, pocketbooks, and the broader economy take center stage, we wanted to share recent articles below from UC Faculty on the impacts of increased tariffs on our trading partners and consumers.

For decades, UC economists have been at the forefront of tariffs research. The expertise and dedication of UC scholars has been instrumental in fully understanding the benefits and very real costs of abrupt changes to international trade:

• Two Economists Respond to White House Tariffs (UC Berkeley)
• How Tariffs Might Reshape the U.S. Economy (UC Davis)
• UCLA Anderson Forecast: Increased uncertainties as new administration enacts economic agenda (UCLA Anderson, Video)

If you would like to connect with a UC economist, please let us know.

Thank you for your dedication to the University of California.

Fiat Lux,

Bettina Duval, Michael Kahn, Jim Koshland, Rich Leib, & Cathy Unger
