Elasticity assumptions

Defaults: empirical aggregate import-demand benchmarks. The supplied import file has no elasticity field.
How the model works
tF,c = reciprocal rate × tUS,c; size sharec = expenditurec / total expenditure; size-adjusted foreign tariff = size sharec × tF,c; ln(Pworld,c) = −0.5 × (tUS,c + size-adjusted tF,c) + 0.5 × min(tUS,c, size-adjusted tF,c). Modeled importsc,h = baseline importsc × Pworld,c × (1 + tUS,c)elasticityh × (1 + tF,c)elasticityh, where h is short-run or long-run. Foreign tariffs now directly reduce demand as well as affecting world prices. Separate price indexes, modeled imports, revenues, and Laffer curves are shown for both horizons. Biden-era / COVID uses the General Rate column from Covid_Biden.csv; the announced-rates option uses the Liberation Day file's Column 2 Rate of Duty values as the proposed high-rate scenario.
