讲座简介：there has been a rise in protectionism and a move toward de-globalization across the globe. it is puzzling why businesses have not been more vocal opponents of protectionist policies. we examine u.s. firms’ public position taking in the u.s.-china trade war. after collecting a comprehensive dataset of firms' public positions on the trade war, we show that only 1.73% of large and very large u.s. firms have openly voiced opposition. on the one hand, we find that larger and more productive firms, multinationals, and those more integrated into global supply chains are significantly more likely to openly oppose the imposition of tariffs. on the other hand, firms located in republican districts are significantly less likely to do so. our study is among the first to document firms’ positioning in a high-profile trade war. we demonstrate the critical role of domestic politics in silencing firms' public opposition, which has important implications for globalization.
