The price impact of Canadian retaliatory tariffs / Alberto Cavallo, Olena Kostyshyna, Oleksiy Kryvtsov, Matias Vieyra.: FB3-5/2026-22E-PDF
"How do import tariffs affect retail prices? We combine daily product-level posted prices from seven major Canadian retailers with product-level tariff exposure to estimate tariff effects in a difference-in-differences framework. Prices of tariffed goods rose gradually, peaking at 6% after three months, implying pass-through of roughly one quarter of the 25% tariff. We find little spillover to untariffed substitutes and a rapid reversal of price effects after tariff removal. Adjustment occurred mainly through the frequency of price changes. Pass-through shifted with trade-policy news and was larger for products labeled "Tariffed," showing that tariff-induced inflation depends on policy expectations and tariff salience"--Abstract.
