ASA Chief Economist Dr. Chris Kuehl is back with a special economic update podcast. In Season 5, Episode 17 (8:02 in length), Dr. Kuehl talks to members about what else… TARIFFS.

• The difference between the media vs the real world when we hear about tariffs.
• Why do we need tariffs? Why did all of this start?
• Why should ASA look at tariffs in a more “holistic” way?
• Looking at non-tariff barriers (NTB) – could this be more effective with protection?
• NTB’s for consumer safety, are we seeing more discussion on this?
• What will happen to the GDP if we see NTB’s happen?
• Acceleration on current tariff policies – what will happen to the GDP growth in this scenario?
• Uncertainty, no one knows the rules – why is the construction sector in deep water because of this?
• These restrictions get lifted all at once, how likely is this to happen?
• When will we know the outcome? How much longer will this go on?
