Entry are much more responsive than they Our estimates translate into an elasticity aggregate exports with respect tariff between −1.5 −3.5 on impact, −2 −5 long run. Comparable elasticities rate around 0.5 0.6 0.8 These consistent literature based data. They provide further evidence that workhorse models international trade business cycles which impose identical must be modified order answer policy questions touching both current account.
